people don't kill people- postal workers do

new use of blog: diffusing violent rage between boring conferences.

i will not lose my cool at work. i will not use my cool at work. i will not behead the next person who crosses my path.

but really. if you were to look at the relative amount of time i've spent at any one task today, the clear winner would be parking and unparking my car. i actually got angry enough to leave a nasty note for the jerk who has decided that his (or her) new car deserves two parking spaces. on my way out of frazzled stop #3 today i got personally yelled at by a parking lot guy. i think i'd rather get a ticket than get verbally assaulted by the 80 year old security guard.

and the worst is yet to come: mandatory "volunteer" community service, all alone with curmudgeon boss- you know the "when i was your age i had to walk to school up hill in both directions barefoot in the snow" guy- he's that guy. i was supposed to share the misery with a co-worker but she "forgot" about it and booked a ticket to vegas.

now i have to make photocopies. i will not lose my cool at work...
