Done

As you might imagine my mind ran wild with images of throwing oneself from the moving vehicle, willing oneself to simply drop dead, and a few other relatively awkward scenarios– I just sort of burst out laughing. Obviously, despite the impossibility of it (barring any dire actions anyway), there are just some days that I think we’d all like to simply ‘stop participating in. Sadly, as that’s not usually an option, I generally find that I myself end up resorting to petulant sulking with the occasional stream of obscenities. I should probably work on that.
