It's amazing how some people can wind you up.

Problems with someone who was supposed to be helping me have racked my aggravation levels up into the high choleric level. I won't bore you with the details, suffice to say the morning passed in a haze of red, littered with thoughts of mutilation and torture (Death being too good for some people, she sensibly stayed out of the picture).

To help with my anger management, I went to Boneland and electrocuted a goldfish as stress relief. And imagined it was a certain person I know...

divagypsy's Friday Five:

1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not?
No. I dislike not being able to see the person I'm talking to and tend to get distracted easily. Drives my friends barmy.

2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
My best friend, last night.

3. About how many telephones do you have at home?
One landline and one mobile. I think I also have a European cordless somewhere, however it doesn't work on the English network so is lying around wasting space and collecting dustbunnies.

4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened?
Yes. I was chillingly polite and put the phone down. Gently. Then called him an a**hole.

5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not?
Email. I'm better at explaining myself on paper (translation: I'm a lot less diplomatic in person).

"More from the walking monument to sarcasm that is Tom Waterhouse: "When I've bought my chalet later this year you'd be most welcome to rent it at a very reasonable rate for a few weeks so you can write that great novel you must as a journalist be constantly dreaming of unleashing on an unsuspecting public." That's a low blow. Kick a man while he's down, why don't you?"
