My girlfriend and I are both getting hit hard by what's happening, and I have been avoiding her lately to prevent arguments.
Today while I was waiting for my usb key to finish formatting a 50 GB encrypted container, for the third time, I realized that I couldn't get in my car and go clean out the office because that USB key is on my keychain. So I tried to do various things, but they kept failing, so I decided to ride over to her house and have dinner.
I get there and I'm still frazzled, and manage to trip over some boxes she has sitting on her damned stairs, and nearly kill myself.
Instead of losing it, I just state that I'm leaving. When I do that... SHE loses it, because she's cooking for two and she's just as frazzled as I am.
It's a real struggle not to fight, but I manage to keep enough of my cool even though I'm seething and so is she. I put on DMSI 2.4 in a desperate last ditch effort. Within 15 minutes, we are cooled off. I am amazed. We manage to have dinner, watch a few episodes of Robot Chicken before I leave.
I definitely need to turn this thing into a mood balancer.
