This afternoon at work I came back to my desk to find a tangello with a post-it note stuck to it.
'You need more Vitamin C'
I think perhaps some one of my colleagues had not been able to help but notice the all-consuming bad mood this week. The rage and fury earned a special name. I coined it myself. PVG - Post-Viral-Grouchiness. I was tempted to put up a sign: Just don't talk to me. It's better for everyone.
After-hours this PVG week I've been trying - with no success - to prepare a little secret craft project with a kind of urgent deadline. This project required use of a power drill. I'm sure I can manage that. Only problem was I couldn't even get the case open. The plastic case. It has flaps that flap up, only they just wouldn't. Finally with a bit of advice over the phone I managed to get only one side open, breaking a nail in the process. One flap up was essentially as good as none. Worse than useless, I felt like such a wimp. A very angry wimp. If only my anger had a bit of a hulk effect.
Anyway I've never tried a tangello before and I was quite tickled. And I have nice things planned for both days this weekend. The rage has finally cooled.

That's great annonymous notes in the workplace I like it. Probably didn't make you instantly rosy cheeked though. You could keep a bowl of lemons on your desk to ward off such helpful advice?
oh it wasn't anonymous, but I was preserving the anonymity of the person. Just cause I'm like that.
It did make me laugh. Which was good.
