Makiwa, A question - How do you know how stressed folk are?
As far as being rude is concerned, I suggest you read both your posts again; it's not surprising that some folk take exception and retaliate.
Despite that, I'm sure your 120 hard men colleagues find you a pleasure to work with.
Meanwhile, I'm going for a lie down - it's a little warm this morning and I hate it when I perspire.
