Shame on that Son of Beren! Doesn't he know better?
It doesn't take much to bring me down, either. When I was on Cloud 9 all last week, I still had co-workers who REALLY got on my nerves and pissed me off with their extreme laziness. I had to walk into the back room to not yell at them and took a look at your picture and that put a smile on my face. But I had to do it quite a few times each night. I notice that most of the people I work with choose to spread their misery around, and I think that's how they cope. They make others miserable and they feel better. I have even found myself avoiding as many of those people as possible, so I actually only talk to four people total at both of my jobs out of soem thirty people I see each day at work.
The only way I can get through most days is escaping a little here and there each day. Loud musicworks for me. I crank it up when I'm in my car or with my mp3 when I'm walking, but that only distracts me for a while, then it's back to dealing with evil people.
Chocolate is about the best thing I've been able to find so far. I can handle a bit more when I keep a steady flow of chocolate, by sneaking a snack every two hours. But I still avoid as many jerks as I can.
