Today I’m feeling a little bit Monday. Chalk it up to being away all weekend and, yes, maybe drinking a bit too much and working out too little, but I woke up sleepy, cranky, and generally out of sorts. Even though, really, life is not so bad.
Still, when some overweight middle-aged goon tried to hand me one of his “Obama as Hitler” pamphlets, I nearly kicked it out of his fleshy paw. I managed to control myself, however, offered him a murderous glare, and continued the trek to my sometime office, where I got an ice coffee, dialed in for a conference call, and crankily listened for my 5 minutes of the status report.

YUD woke up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday. (Whatever that really means, and however it was derived, the fact is, she was cranking like a bizotch. And she took it out on poor Henry P. Torrence, Coordinator, among others. Not that he didn’t deserve it. But I’ll get to that later.)
At any rate, the crankiness is more likely due to lack of sleep, and “woman troubles,” and heat (more people kill each other in hot weather, does that surprise anyone?), and, not least, the fact that she is going into an office today, for the next 2 weeks—something that causes anxiety as well as pleasure over upcoming monies to be paid and boozy deliciousness and/or shoes to be bought.
