...so I want to share it with everyone here and say that I've decided to stay, and I am extending an olive branch:

(which has Lutheran cooties all over it! :P)*
A friend of mine (an Episcopalian, no less!) pointed out to me that simultaneously dealing with:
1) buying a new car;
2) that IT meeting from Hell regarding ALL the problems with the system analyst and his control issues;
3) preparing for our annual parish meeting (which was today -- and these vary from "milk and cookies" to bloodbath)**; and
4) the Capital Metro bus which broke down on the way to work (hence, the reason for #1) with no backup bus, and the cab which never arrived so I walked three miles to work wearing a back brace due to several stress fractures on my spine from falling down the stairs*** -- and realized at work that when I was sitting down, I couldn't stand up; and when I was standing up, I couldn't sit back down;
might have had anything to do with my fit of pique.
Anyway, I'm over my 72-hour case of rabies, and I'd like to stay if you'll have me.

*JUST KIDDING!!!
**It was a "milk and cookies" parish meeting today. One of the members who has a tendency to turn these into "bloodbath" meetings resigned his position on the council and has transferred to a Wisconsin Synod church; the other one had to leave after this morning's service because she had a sick child. I guess God really IS merciful unto us (Ps. 67:1).
***While we were moving, I fell down the stairs on my heels while carrying a 100 pound box of books, and ended up with stress fractures up and down my spine (and legs) because of the continuous impact of my heels hitting the stairs.
Question 1: Why didn't I drop the box? "Because 'books are our friends.'"
Question 2: What did you do after you fell down the stairs? "Moved the piano."
Question 3: Why didn't we hire professional movers? "Why, hire professional movers when we could do it ourselves for free? Do you think money grows on trees?" (See: I really AM a Lutheran!)
Oh - and next time, we're hiring professional movers!
