I know too well how you feel. To lighten up your mood, here's a little variation sometimes used on answering machines. Last heard on one some 12 years ago, unless memory fails me: These words are lovely dark and deep, But I've got promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep, So leave a message at the beep.
