Working on a Saturday has given me all kinds of time to manage to get myself worked up over a number of issues.

Especially as our network is down now, but there are things I've been told I have to get finished today, so I can't just take off.

Waiting for the the network gods to bless you with server connectivity is a tedious chore.

I should be frolicing out in the sun, instead of sitting in a dark room, fuming at my machine.

I'm feeling frustrated at being helpless to my friends right now. I want to do something, but don't know how to help. It's not good enough for me right now to just lend support, I want action. Reactive empathy isn't satifactory. I want to take a big steel chair to some of my friend's problems and whack them into submission. Maybe lay some sort of atomic drop on them as well. :)

Some days supportive isn't satisfying at all.

Punching a problem in it's fat...problemness, that would be satifying. Making it totally go away for them, that would give me some peace.

Instead...pppptht, I got nothing. I can't do what needs to be done. In fact for some things there isn't a solution, which is all the more frustrating. I know it, but is still doesn't make me feel any better.

Grrr. This can only be solved by violent videogames, I think. Too bad I'm still at work....
