    Orca,

    Congratulations! Well deserved after 25 years in such a stressful occupation. After this long a tenure can i ask what you found was the best healthy way to deal with the constant stress? I’m asking this seriously since my position as a business owner in my field can be very stressful so I’m always looking to get suggestions from those who’ve walked down this path. Thanks again for your service.

    I also work in a very overdemanding, stressful environment. I can’t seem to find that one thing to relieve tension. What’s the secret?

    Thanks everyone and thank you Stuart. For you guys with a stressfull job,just think of the day when your driving to the river or the bar or your girl friends house,when all the other stiffs are driving to work. it helps the time go by pretty fast.
