When I get kinda stressed out at work, when I realize that something stupid that took an idiot five minutes or less to do will take me the next 20 or more to undo, when all I need is to put a fork in the boiling water for just one second, I throw a pen.

Here's a haiku, just for you:

Rock star throws TV

Out window--concrete or pool?

Me, no, just pen. Peace.


Yeah, I (discreetly) deputize a pen, name it tantrum, and throw it somewhere 100% fetchable and 100% not smashy.

I saw Molly throw her first pen today. I'm sooo sorry, Molly.
