This idea: > [@Noone Special](#): > > I know! Think about a waffle. A huge, piping-hot Belgian Waffle, straight off the iron. With tons of ice cream on the side! And a huge mound of whipped cream!! And **cherries** on top!!! oooh… and a lot of those tiny cute colored candies… 🙂 plus this idea: > [@Cranky Hermit](#): > > I too understand…try fantasizing about torturing your co-workers in new and inventive ways…say, like, skinning 'em with a dull cheese-slicer, stringing 'em up with piano wire, basting them with napalm and putting 'em on a Hibachi. Often works for me. Sometimes I laugh out loud when thinking of stuff like this. equals: think about torturing your co-workers with piping hot Begial waffles with all sorts of messy (icecream) and injury-producing toppings (candies). Definitely something that would cheer me up. ---

If Mr. T singing can’t chear you up, you need a lesson from _Dr._ T on [recouping](http://www.transbuddha.com/mediaHolder.php?id=817). It’s **absoludicrous** to be cranky on a Friday afternoon. Besides, you’ve got a White Elephant to look forward to. ---

Hehe, **Zebra** , very good. **gum**! It’s so good to see you in my thread. If I had any residual crankiness left, it’s gone now. ---

Glad you’re feeling better. Weekends usually are pretty good about getting the crankies out, but be careful. Monday’s can put them back pretty quickly. Have a good week, Anaamika. ---

And if you’re **still** cranky on this beautiful Monday Morning, think of the fact that I’m already on my _second_ work day of the week :eek: (we work Sunday-Thursday). ---

Hee, it made me laugh actually…you seem to know so much in GQ, and here you have trouble with an apostrophe. Seems MPSIMS dumbs you down? **Noone Special** , how is that supposed to make me feel better, knowing that you are already closer to the weekend than me? Damn Israelites. ---
