The trick is to carry this feeling into your next sequence. I love my job, I love the position it has put me in in life and enjoy the off time it gives me. I carry that passion with me into my four days and just try not to engage in negative cockpit conversations. It's frustrating to get into the cockpit and be with someone who is just so bitter. I understand where they come from, and I'm not one of those "if you don't like it, quit" guys because we have all invested a lot to get into this position, it would be difficult to find another career with the pay potential in such a short term. But come on, if you are that miserable, why are you trying to drag someone down with you? Dont go home on your next block of days off, go and travel somewhere if you are that miserable. Send the kids to the grandparents, have the wife take a couple days off and experience life a little. Just don't go home, sit in your den and log into APC and stay there for the next 3 days.
