"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

Further, yet

I'm in an atrocious mood. I am not having a good day. What started out quite delectably hasn't gone horribly awry.
The silver lining? My coworker was very kind to me when I explained my embattled and beleaguered position (he's typically very sarcastic and not one for human kindness, which is why we get on so well).
I take solace in the fact that in a week or two this will be nothing more than a minor blip on the radar (one hopes). In the interim: GODDAMNIT.

I read a book about you to my children many years ago. It was one of their favorites. It is called "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible,
No Good, Very Bad Day." Sounds like more than a day for you though. Hope your dreams are better than your waking hours.
