inner anger ball

my friend and co-worker ana and i were at work today and we both felt like it was a really good day. this is only important because the last week was so bad. we both had this mysterious ball of inner anger. the anger was not inspired by any particular person or event, nor was it meant to be directed to anyone specific, but we were cranky/grumpy and short with those that we encountered at work. well, maybe it's not entirely unexplainable. we've both been operating under an increased work load and our patience probably just wore too thin this last week. shiv says the moon probably brought out the craziness too and i believe it. but, i think today marked the disappearance of our inner anger ball, which is good, because it really made us want to kick people in the teeth.

also, i've learned a new word from ana. she may not have made it up, but she's the one i heard it from so she gets the credit. "geeking" as in freaking out over geeky things or in a geeky manner. so, for example, someone that gets excited about a software update would be "geeking out" about it. "dorking out" can be used in the same manner and i think i've heard people say it before. we have to make our own fun at work.

i must geek out a lot =)

btw, sorry about the 'a' instead of the 'e'... for some reason when i was putting it in, i thought that it seemed wrong, but let it slide.

Cool =) However, I always heard "geeking out", used in a contex denoting to acquire the latest and greatest techno-gadget. Usually by a geeky early adopter.
