I wouldn't say I had either to be honest. Some days everything is water off a ducks back and nothing winds me up and other days I can be incredibly sensitive.

That reminds me... my husband thinks once I month I go totally off the deep end and he says it's like I've had a personality swap or something. I'm a relatively new driver and I already take mistakes very seriously... but I think for those type of days my license should be suspended for my own well-being. Even just being on the road and being honked at can set me off when I'm like that. Maybe I should also let know Vicky my schedule so she can temp ban me from SD during those days...

Actually when I was moderating, we used to have people request temporary bans for personal reasons. So it's really actually not that unusual (I think), for some people to just want to reach for the rest button and catch themselves a break... sometimes people have a good relationship with a certain moderator and they will ask them to let them know if they've gone off rails and to issue a temp ban to keep them from getting themselves into trouble... some moderators do it to themselves
