After I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago about how angry I was with nitwits, a few people expressed surprise and concern at the way I reacted toward other peoples’ behavior. I think they were surprised by my comment that I wanted to slap a seemingly worthless employee upside the head with her cell phone.
I’m in a bad mood today (Monday, November 22). I’m Irritable. Angry. Part of my problem is that I’m not feeling well (headache, exhausted, stomach cramps, cold symptoms).

Last week when I stopped at the bank to deposit a check, I noticed a stack of free newspapers on a table next to the entrance doors.

I had never seen the Ladies First newspaper and was curious as to whether there were any attorneys who were advertising in it, so I picked one up and started paging through it.
