You might want to write an alias in your .login file to give it a
rest.  Suggestions ... alias trash ls -al, alias junk ls -al, alias GOP
ls -al, the name of your current least-favorite person ... and not only
do you give your synapses a rest, but you take out some frustration as
well.

For a while I had alias noam rm ... and after a week or so of deleting
files, I felt better.
