Grinch Rage
That's the best I can come up for a title this time.
I was working this morning at the pharmacy...nothing special there. The radio station we normally turn on had a block of Christmas music on, and my patience was running a tad thin with it. There were only a couple of us there today, and station changing is acceptable to a certain degree, so I switched it to one that had a mix of holiday music and the normal playlist.
To my chagrin, barely 10 minutes pass before "it" came on. Since this is not the usual "it" I refer to, I'll show a link to it here:

I'm starting to really hate The Grinch. It's getting on my nerves sooner and sooner every year, and I even had a rage shutoff of this same radio a week and a half ago when this particular "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song was used as backdrop for a musical version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas that recently finished up in Boston.
So today was no different. I hit the power button on the radio with force, reacting the same way I did when I had the original rage shutoff: "Grinch rage! Grinch rage!"
As luck would have it, one of my former colleagues there happened to stop by about 10 minutes after that...she's still as crazy as ever. She asked me how I was doing and wanted me to say I was good.
I knew better than that: "It's ssdd."
ssdd is shorthand that a friend once taught me. It stands for same (cuckoo), different day. If you want to be G-rated about it same stuff, different day has an equivalent meaning. December 26th cannot come soon enough.
