Item number one: Chessypig is a waste of oxygen.
Item number two: Her period is *4 days* late. When it's normally excessively punctual. This makes her just *slightly* irritable, to say the least.
Item number three: The XF Reunion has been cancelled, which means there are some FluffyPeople she won't get to see, and getting to see other NicePeople is going to be a *lot* harder.
Item number four: The two further maths lessons that should have comprised the Chessypig's afternoon were cancelled, so she came home; only to remember that she was meant to be in an Engineering meeting. This helps confirm item number one.
Item number five: Anyone trying the 'God values you' or 'I value you' line of reasoning is likely to get their eyeballs scratched out. Yes, I know people value me. I just can't see that I'm doing anything valu*able*. I generally get over Item number one stages by identifying the cause and not thinking until the cause goes away, but it's not going away...
Item number six: *cries*
