ltc just had a 20 minute tantrum in the car.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Herding cats for fun
How DARE you breathe in such an annoying fashion in my presence? Have you no shame?
No, not especially irritable, why do you ask?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
The low grade-anxiety attack I've had on and off for the last 24 hours has been presenting as knots in my stomach. For most of the last 24 hours. Despite being down 2 lbs since yesterday, I feel like I'd rather be angry. (Not that that sounds especially awesome either...)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My sympathies, good people.
I keep bringing myself to the brink of tears over the abstract idea of a living room that is not lived in but kept nice for visitors. I don't know what that's about but it is apparently very upsetting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am wishing only good brains for all of you guys!! None of that sounds ideal.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Aaaaaa Twitter is down how else am I supposed to avoid everything?

Our wings are not tired.
Sorry about the Twitter. I rarely go there, but was considering going in to provoke Trump since apparently he can't block people anymore, or so I understand. Maybe it broke from the increased traffic of people celebrating not being blockable?

Gudanov, I really fear that there is NOTHING you can do that would be good enough for your wife, given her emotional problems. If you have high standards for everyone else around you, it's necessary to pitch in -- instead she gets to stew in her anxiety, and lash out instead of taking responsibility for things she wants to see Done Right but won't lift a finger to do herself.
You are enabling her in this behavior.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, God, I hate Skype chat at work. A coworker just texted me "Hello, Tom", and now is taking five minutes to compose his actual question. Just have your question ready BEFORE you text me, Jeez!

My former manager was the worst. You'd just see the note that said she was typing forever and ever. And then it would stop. And then it would start again.
