Moonie
I was once told that, during full moons, neither drunks nor children are tolerable.
Neither, apparently, are construction workers.
I am proud to admit that it took me until after 1 pm today to lose my mind. Thankfully, the loss took place as a voice mail - to someone in our Northern Corporate office. I felt much better when I hung up the phone.
My day improved greatly when Corporate Associate called me back, sobbing with laughter. I was instructed, effective immediately, to leave ALL diatribes in her voice mail. Even if the rant did not pertain to her.
I am apparently quite amusing when incredibly angry.
To people far, far away.

See? You're sweet even with a temper. I'm hell on wheels and not very funny. (although I snicker to myself after I've won my case... should've been a lawyer).
You've been blessed by a wonderful temperament. I'm jealous!
Well, Renn, howabout you tape those diatribes and post them here. We all need a good laugh, don't we?
I know I would love to hear them :) -- you crack me up -- others that are intolerable during full moons? Most drivers -- I can usually tell it is a full moon by all the idiots on the road (of course, I don't include myself in this one)
Life is so much better when people think your anger is funny. Makes life and relationships more tolerable. :D
Rant on!
Must be the moon. I lost it while on the phone to Verizon. Go figure.
OExplosions are fun to watch, as long as you aren't TOO close.
Verification word: iamdip. Insulted by the computer first thing in the morning.
Maybe I'll just go back to bed
You're welcome to call me and rant anytime, as I am always looking for something funny to cheer me up!!!
"White hot monkey rush" is part of my daily lexicon now, thanks to you.
Yes! Post it here! F'real! I bet you win a prize.
Sorry you got so torqued...
I knew people who worked in a nursing home, and I refinished floors in one. The full moon has a distinct effect on the ol' folks.
I was buffing out a hallway floor overnight and there was an old guy walking toward me a little funny, kinda bowlegged. He started wobbling a little faster, then I saw him hike up his robe and drain the lizard right on the fresh wax.
He kept right on walking.
Dude- as a former bar worker, you KNOW the full moon brings out the crazies.
I remember one halloween fondly, when it was a full moon to boot. talk about your full-throttle insanity. holy cow.
please to transcribe the diatribe. I'm all abuzz with anticipation!
I birthed my only child during a full moon. Read into that what you will.
I have a list of people who deserve a rant, a diatribe, a full blown hissy fit. Could I send you said list???
Heck, you're amusing when you're NOT angry, girl! Please find a way to post the diatribe -- it'll make my day!!!
You're tagged, by the way, over at a certain not-a-blog...hee!
