I can't believe this.

I want to rage against it.

I want to hit something.

Throw something.

Smash something to tiny bits.

But if I did that, I'd only spend the next couple hours putting it back together again. That'd be a nice distraction, but in the end I'd be right back where I started.

I guess I'm just your failed experiment.

I'd speak up if I thought it'd make any difference, but I know there's only one answer to this equation, and it's clear it doesn't include me.

After all, I'm an engineer, sweetheart.

I can do the math.
