Dip it in a dream....

I threatened a coworker with my calm today. I was pretty wired, I'll admit. I had a cup of tea on the way to work and 20 minutes later I was jittery as the squirrel outside the crack house. The main symptoms were bad puns and not being able to shut up, followed by a nasty case of singing "The Candy Man Can" a little louder than to myself. When my behavior was pointed out to me, I went to get a Dr. Pepper to crash the system and reboot.

"You think that will calm you down?" my poor coworker (who, at that point, also had the candyman song stuck in her head, thanks to me)asked.

"You won't believe how much I will calm down. You will be frightened of my calmness!" I declared. I may have made a dramatic grasping fist gesture. She raised an unimpressed eyebrow. I drank my Dr. Pepper and settled on down. And wrote a sad little Watchmen fic for the day.
