Ok. So it's been a tough weekend. I don't really want to get into it but let's just say we had a terrible scare after Mom's hysterectomy and it ain't over yet. She was seriously mistreated by a couple of people at the hospital and it got me mad. Real mad. For the first time in a long time I felt pure rage.
I'm the biggest infovore you're ever gonna meet so, true to form, when I felt that unfamiliar rage I wanted to understand it. I once read somewhere that all data is interesting to Gemini. That is certainly the case with me. So I looked up rage in Wikipedia and was like "Yup, that's it." Not exactly anything I didn't know already but I wanted to check it out since I don't exactly have the impulse to break things on a daily basis and it's rare for me to feel that way.
Anyhoo, I was sorely in need of some comic relief to keep me level because I had to be strong for Mom and make sure to leave no stone unturned in getting her the care she needed. So I could freak out in private but when I was back at the hospital I had to be focused again. I found that comic relief in a most unlikely place.
You know how Wikipedia always has links to related entries at the bottom of an article? Through the Rage entry I found a sub-entry: Computer Rage. It's hilarious! So dry but it captures exactly what it is... and I witness this phenomenon on a pretty frequent basis. See also the legendary Bad Day video. Sometimes you just gotta lose your shit. Just make sure your data's backed up. ;-)
