'S'okay. I didn't think you were annoyed at me in particular. On the other
hand, when I'm really irritated, I have a tendancy towards paranoia that
makes me think everyone is as annoyed at me as I am at whatever I'm annoyed
at. So I try to make sure that people who are already annoyed know I'm not
annoyed with them. Let's see if we can use the word annoyed some more.
Annoyed, annoyed, annoyed.
