Mood: sleepy, at work, ready for Zingerman's

Sometimes you just have to let yourself be mad. Grumpy. Angry. Offended. Pissed off, annoyed, exasperated, disappointed, incredulous, horrified, disheartened, depressed.... Basically there are times when you're that upset when you just have to allow yourself to be upset. Not for too long, a few hours, half a day, maybe, but you have to allow yourself to feel.

Don't let it take over your life, don't let it last longer than it should, but let yourself feel. Then move on.

'Cause here's the thing: at the end of the day, at the start of the next week, it doesn't matter if you're pissed off - you still have to make things work. So wallow in your disappointment. Relish being annoyed. Then be done with those bad feelings and get back to work.

I tried to tell my mom this yesterday since i was in the middle of wallowing and relishing when i talked to her. She didn't really get the notion, or like it at all. She wanted me to look on the bright side of things, remember what can be gained from a situation i don't like. That's all fine and good, i'm doing that today and will continue to do it. But yesterday i needed to be pissed off.

Besides :) that means today i can be super-cool-happy Computer Fairy. And seriously, that's a crazy amount of fun.
