Rage

Aaarrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

That's better. Thanks for listening.


UPDATE: It's my own fault, really. I made the mistake of buying Glamour magazine, which advised me that for greater peace of mind I should try varying my journey into work. So I got up extra early and walked to work via Ravenscourt Park and Hammersmith, and very nice it was too. Listened to a bit of Elliott Smith on the way, because there's nothing more cheering than hearing a dead junkie harp on about how he actually liked himself better when he was on smack*. Anyway, got to work, waited for the promised greater peace of mind to materialise, but NO. Oh no. The morning was instead characterised by a whole cavalcade of fuckwits - myself among them - contriving to jam spanners in all the works and press flies into all the ointment. Fortunately this has now escalated from the blind fury stage to the "this is getting quite comical" stage, so it's all fine. At ease, then. Phew.


* Just kidding - I love the boy Elliott dearly, God rest his soul.

    I was going to email you today to enquire about freelance work but I'm a bit too scared to do that now

    Be not afraid, GSE. I've had some quite excellent news this afternoon that has rendered me considerably less Hulk-like.

    Oh and Beep: you give me a super idea for a new post. Must scurry home and study Glamour magazine in great depth.

    Well, I was going to do that anyway. But now I can claim it as "research".

    there is a fine line between blind fury and amusement. So what was the turning point for you?

    wv: cgnce - cognizance, with a lack of vowels.
