Angst Magic

I've just had a happy few hours web surfing while the Urban Terrorist was entertained with an Adam Sandler movie (I was excused due to allergy- also Rob Schneider and Ben Stiller).

I said to DOM who had wandered in "Do you know why I like reading teacher's and policemen's blogs?"

"Sure" she said "It's because you like to know that there are people out there more bitter and twisted and cynical than yourself."

"No" I said,hurt. "I just like to know that there are people out there who work in the government sector and  are treated worse than me and are paid less ."

"Oh"she said"That's OK then".

Maybe I just like angst. In others,in myself.

I was running a course last week. The same course I've been running for some years; I just get the same lecturers ,the same caterers the same set up each year and you would think the fact that it runs pretty smoothly would make me relaxed about it all. Instead I ran around like a headless chook worrying about everything and snapping generally. Then it struck me ( as things tend to do regularly you might have noticed).

I believe in angst magic. This is like sympathetic magic only stronger (and slightly dottier).My theory (now that I realise it ) is that general angst and anxiety generate a strong electrical/magnetic /magical field that ...stops the...gremlins...getting in.Sort of. So if you run around screaming and shouting and generally carrying on everything will be O.K. Yes?
