    Bud you just need an attitude adjustment. I wish I had an easy answer for you but the truth is, it's all in how you look at it. It took me awhile to learn this but how you deal with pressure is all up to you. Sorry if this sounds like a generic, easy answer, but, just think about it.
    Having employees is the hard one.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Not good my friend, I'm not ownership but management, devise and exit strategy, set a goal and find a release. No job / business is worth your health or your future. Remember, we work to have a life not live to work. There must be a reward to your effort. Otherwise, get the hell out

    My name is Blake, And I should hate my job.

    I work in Mcdonalds. It was a part time job when I went back to university as a mature student. Now 8 years on I've not flipped a burger or served a customer in 4 years. I have a role specific job working with a franchisee who has 4 stores. I spend a day in each as a maintenance man. Sorting out calibrations, maintenance, deliveries, and detail cleaning. They leave me alone to just get on with it. I have overalls not a crew uniform, Get paid to travel and get all the other benefits like medical care, and instant holidays.

    I could earn more money, before I went back to Uni I was running a printing press, And made a good wage doing that. I learned fast, Tight deadlines, Unreasonable office staff that don't understand the machines, And a gobsh*te northerner don't mix well.

    I'm happy to be at the bottom of the economical food chain, If that means I get an easy life, And a 3 day weekend every week.
    Real name, Blake
