Fred, You really misunderstand me. I realize my writing style comes across as more crass. But I am not and never have been angry or outraged. Frustrated and overstressed near to the point of mental breakdown, perhaps, and so yes, bitter with that regard. But never angry or outraged. And I am still a CAUT, but now like you, not a full time one, without the prison-like walls and restrictions of freedom and income that accompany the FT job.
