Quote: "Take a deep breath and realize that you have a symbiotic relationship with your users. They probably don't like you either."

If you don't like them and they don't like you where is the symbiosis?

Except for #1 this is a good read, things that are so obvious that we forget.

Here's hoping she thinks better of you than the average admin thinks of their users. :)

Very neat, congrats.

I never found such a "loved of my life", so there's a touch of envy in there too. :^)
