Oh my God. A friend of mine who I haven't spoken too more than in passing since I left high school just dug up our homecoming picture from junior year, and posted it on The Facebook (which is basically a friendster-type-thing for college students and alums with college email addresses only, for those no longer in that world).

SO wrong. I'm chubby and pimply and my shirt is tucked in all wrong. I look happy, though, which is cool.

These purses totally rock my socks, and I bet Erinaceous would love them too.

Happy trumps young geekiness any day.

CUTE purses.

KB, I continue to be flabbergasted on your behalf.

Oh, holy hell. The rage just kicked in, big-time. I am assuming that it will do this on occasion for a good long while, yes? The trick is not to send any scathing letters or emails when in the grip of it, yes? Because damned if I couldn't tear him apart with my bare hands right the fuck now. Anyhoo. Big breaths. Possibly an Ativan, so I don't kill any innocent coworkers. Mmmm, drugs....

Right, please to ignore the frothing-at-the-mouth girl in the corner.

Juliana, you end up needing an alibi, just give me a heads-up as to what story I should tell.

What Windsparrow said.

You guys are the bestest invisible friends evAH!

Yes. You need a safe outlet to direct it away from him. Of course, you could just unload on him every time the rage hits, but it makes things more difficult in the short term. (Because you still have to deal with him.) Better to save that up for one, deliberate blast when you feel like it's necessary.

I say vent here.

Cashmere, I'm glad things seem to be going well.

juliana, while Andi sets up the alibi, I'll help you hide the body.

Meanwhile, please tell everyone you know that exclamation points should not be used on resumes or in cover letters. I have a stack in front of me for a position that requires two graduate degrees and I'm amazed at the number of people who punctuate the descriptions of their work experience with them (repeatedly). Goodness people, if your present job is that exciting, don't leave to come work at our dull place.
