Very. Frequently.<br \/>And I&#8217;ve found myself, well, growling at people.   Well, not actually at them.  Just in the back of my throat.   I don&#8217;t think anyone has heard me do this and I&#8217;m not sure how I&#8217;d react or what I&#8217;d say.    Case in point&#8230; yesteday, in the student union (and this happens more freqently in a crowd) I was trying to accomplish what should have been the simple task of going up the stairs to get some lunch.   While trying to navigate the crowds &#8211; which were formidable &#8211; I also had to contend with this guy moving slowly and aimlessly in the middle of the hallway.  I saw him from a distance and tried to plan a route past him &#8211; but his random wanderings were aligned with my path despite my best efforts and I pretty much had to stop and wait for him to move past before I could proceed.  As soon as I got an opening, I took it &#8211; growling low in my throat as I went past him. <\/p>\n<p>Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; I&#8217;m all for quiet comtemplation and a slow pace &#8211; where it&#8217;s appropiate.   Museum, park, forrest trail &#8211; all valid.   Crowded building with uninspired arcitecture?   Nope, let&#8217;s hustle, people.  Nothing to see here.  Move it along.   Hence the growling.<\/p>\n<p>In other news &#8211; I&#8217;ve been doing a little running the past couple of days.  It&#8217;s been too long and I&#8217;m out of shape, but at least I&#8217;m out there trying.  It&#8217;s about 15 minutes of running and walking &#8211; which is not very much.  Still, gotta start somewhere.   If I can get in the habit of doing this &#8211; then I&#8217;m more likely to get a treadmill and use it when the weather turns cold and I can&#8217;t run outside.  Well, I guess I could run outside in the winter, but that&#8217;s a little more insane than I&#8217;m willing to be.<\/p>\n<p>I also did a little cleaning\/organizing\/ de-crappifing my apartment.  Tomorrow will be a year to the day when I kicked out my former room-mate &#8211; I think a little clearing out is in order.<\/p>\n<p>Work has kinda sucked the past few days, but I&#8217;m getting through it.     And that&#8217;s about it.   So, I should get back to the grind&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-112922139006171718?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It takes quite a bit to get me really angry &#8211; but I&#8217;m very frequently annoyed.
