Excellent advice from everybody. Wave1, you are very correct in advising a gentle and patient handling of the whole situation. I do tend to
ruminate on issues and try too hard to constantly prove my worth at work and perhaps I am trying too hard. There also comes impatience as I get older and see my work life period getting shorter and shorter. There is some desparation to work through.

Thunder Bow, you are also correct in advising me to assess the situation at hand. The location I am at right now is culturally conflicting. I feel like a fish out of water. That causes stress and the work practices are culturally different here from the locations I originally trianed in this industry. I believe I have accomplished as much as I can in this industry and it might be time for me to start over and try to see which skills I can possibly transfer into another field. The economy being what it is in this small town though, there are not many options for the kinds of work available.

Hugs for all of your support, everybody. Thank you, all.
