Paroxysm<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You ever have one of those days when you go off on everybody? I mean the kind of day when you are angered at the breathing of your significant other? The kind of day where the kids can do no right, your boss is more of a jerk than normal, and everything sets you off. To make matters worse, you can’t manage to keep it under control and you actually let loose with all the things that are bouncing around in your head. Your filters are off, and there’s nothing you can do about it?<\/p>\n

When that happens, there’s only one way to redeem yourself. Announce that you have been afflicted with Paroxysm<\/b> and quietly walk away.<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s true that you have been afflicted with\u00a0Paroxysm<\/strong> because you had a sudden attack or violent expression of anger. So you’re not\u00a0really<\/em> making an excuse, you’re actually explaining your situation.<\/p>\n

Who gives a flying leap if nobody knows that!<\/p>\n
