Hmmm….hmmm… Don’t repeat that to dearest LL[1] [who is he to talk anyway? He is radioactive] but I got slightly wrist-slapped today for being too aggressive at work today. I guess my little Amazon books reading occurred too late and I had three fits of wild rage in the last week which might or might have not included some bitter e-mails a little too ironical for my own good apparently. I was even asked politely if everything was fine at home [how embarrassing!]. I hesitated five minutes to blame it on L or even the shitzus but thought that would probably not fly as it is quite known I also have a domestic abuse problem. Instead I decided to go for the always successful: “My mother is an alcoholic and my father a valium addict. She's passive-aggressive and he's a sociopath. Another question ?”
You see I have this nasty little habit of snapping, exploding into rages, and going into stapler-throwing binges at regular intervals. I have little talent at walking the fine line between too aggressive and stupid. Basically, I lack the charm of Alex A. whose much admired hard core assertiveness obtains him free lunch at Zaytinia upon a little complaint on the quality of service, apologies from the people he runs over in the street when driving his black jag and respect from his team.
As it is quite urgent to find a solution before I am being wisked off to some Anger management classes or shock therapy, I promised I would try to deal with my feelings in a more positive way than *SNAP!!!* ….“Well, what about it, beeeeeeotch?....”. I tried pet therapy this week but as we all know it was a very mild success. I think I am going to start smoking up which was an idea I had quite a while ago but that LL was not very fond of. Sounds more exciting than your average breathing exercise... Up and down. Up and down. Up and down.
[1] He had even written to me earlier today:” I think you’re handling it well (or at least not throwing staplers against the wall).”
This is what happens when you're not around Oliver for a week!
Love you F!

You should start smoking and tell LL you're just practicing for 4:20.
