The Jet Blue Escape Slider – Folk Hero?
Folk heroes should not break federal aviation laws.

“The blues” can strike anyone from time to time, but long-term depression can be a serious health problem leading to damaged relationships, physical illness, and even suicide. With treatment, depression can be managed, but many people don’t recognize that they have a problem.

I want to be positive, but I’m not
I’m not sure what to make of it all. I want to be upbeat, but I have this nagging feeling of doom. I have a good job and a great boss. My boss is the kind that wants me to excel and get other offers, but doesn’t want me to go.
