Today, I Was at My Worst... Rawr!

After 2 weeks of sleepless nights, overflowing coffee and all-you-can-eat food due to a project, I can say that today, I was at my worst.  I don't know what it is, though I suspect PMS, but today, I was ready to pounce on the next unsuspecting victim.  If anyone had in any way crossed me earlier, I would have snapped his or her head off, chewed it crudely and spit it on the pavement!  Rawr!  Good thing the people around me ignored me the whole time, so there wasn't anything or anyone who triggered the episode.
