While this is indeed the most rational and emotionally intelligent course of action in the wake of your recent professional disappointment, have you accounted for the possibility that you're too stupid to pull it off?

Yes. I always compare the size of the challenge with my own capabilities. This is one of the methods that lead me to take action or not.

Um, I'm pretty sure that rtl49 was being sarcastic when saying, "While this is indeed the most rational and emotionally intelligent course of action in the wake of your recent professional disappointment..."

That is: It is most emphatically not either a rational nor an emotionally intelligent course of action.
