I am currently on a work conference call. It's muted, so they can't hear me type.

I have these kinds of calls all the time, and usually I'm OK with it.

Today, for some unknown reason, I want to reach through the phone and strangle them all and make them shut up. The urge is great...

I'm sure this is some sort of stress reaction to the current wife-out-of-town, mother-in-law-in-town situation.

And, I still don't have any Diet Vanilla Coke. But this person is taunting me! Why am I being punished.
