Sir johannpiber! An idiot for caring! The world is a strange place is it not? Because so many people don't give a hoot about anyone and don't care if they do their job to any degree of competency and yet they get along with life perfectly fine with their laziness, stupidity, and mediocrity!

Meanwhile, people like us(and I assume your Missus) work our tails off and then have to work twice as hard because of all the dang slackers who don't pull their weight.

Obviously you were raised right sir johannpiber, I salute and drink a toast to your parents! You may be able to adjust your care level if you get burnt out bad enough but I don't think you can shut your brain down and not think. I believe that is a natural gift(or sometimes a curse!)

I reckon the trick is to think of pleasant things and not frustrating things. I would suggest thinking about how you can finance that castle!
