…I were Darth Vader’s kid, and I had inherited the Force — and thus possessed the ability to crush people’s throats with my mind — I’d have done an awful lot of throat crushing today.

Word.
sounds like you need a weekend. i need a month of weekends.
would it be the slow hands out in front of yourself pantomime type of throat crushing.. or the quicker blink of the eye variety?
in other words, would they have suffered?
Me TOO! growl.
My vote is for the pantomime type, let them know they made you mad first. I could totally do that today…
On days like that I like to fix a bubble bath, grab whatever alcohol is in the cupboard, and put on some music. Then I top that off with a mani & pedi. If that does not work, I call up my friends and I relieve my stress on the dance floor. That always soothes the beast in me.
I might start small, like tripping them…
But, would quickly go on a powertrip and start crushing away!
On the downside, you would also probably be male… That whole Jedi thing only discovered feminism in the last 3 movies.
dude…you read my mind. If only throat-crushing didn’t have such permanent results….or such negative consequences!
Sounds like me yesterday morning. I wanted to do some serious harm to a couple of customers. Fortunately, a walk on my lunch break seemed to do the trick.
Ginny’s suggeston looks like a winner too.
That sounds like my day today.
that would be an amazingly cool super power to have – and one that would come in handy right about now in my world, too (pesky securities commission auditors, I mean you!)
Oh, goodness, me too. I’d even be willing to watch Star Wars just to be able to have that ability.
Full moon today….
Of course, I feel like that more days than not (I work with salespeople, ’nuff said). Maybe you can make use of the full moon excuse; I definitely can’t. I do try & blame it on being a feisty red head though. Which, luckily, most people just nod their heads & swiftly move along….
rave on

Boy, can I relate. It’s been one of those weeks. TGIF!
Hey there is nothing wrong with embracing the dark side now and again. It makes you appreciate those dancing ewoks all the more.
Hope things got better Fish!
Ooh! Can I be the Peter Cushing guy who, after a period where I’ve let you crush some poor schmuck’s windpipe, I say, “Fish! Release him!”
That would be ~awesome~.
I started out so angry yesterday that I couldn’t even see straight. I started out TODAY telling someone that the “force” had left me. This is what happens when I am talked into watching Star Wars. In any case, I understand the feeling of wanting to do some throat crushing…but I suppose it’s a good thing I don’t have that ability.
Ditto here!
Hi Heather!
I’m bloghopping today and came here via Geek Goddess. I read a lot of blogs. I enjoy them. Every once in awhile I read a poignant, entertaining post. Even rarer is when I read one I wish I’d written.
I wish I’d written this one.

If you only knew the power of the dark side….
Wow. I totally had one of those days on Friday, too. I threatened a lot of shins. (As the only woman in my workplace, I’ve found shin-kicking- or the threat thereof- surprisingly effective.)
Yes, but could you be a pleasant enough person that once 5 o’clock rolled you would use the force to get free shots and tickle people. Maybe use that lightening **** to reheat a frozen burrito at 4 AM?
I said you could be the cute one! Gawd!
When my Jedi mind tricks don’t seem to work on the feeble minds around me, I usually try to bore holes in their skulls with my retinas. But throat crushing, that’s a good call too.
Throat crushing. hmm,I’ll take it! I usually resort to a good ol’ right hook…but really thats just inadequate now.
laugh reading your blog. and i say it from tel aviv [israHell].
