crushing acorns frustrated!!!

I was told on a phone interview that I would be able to transfer to a new job on monday and I was so excited!! No pay increase, in fact I was told that I wouldn't be able to get the annual raise that I would at my current job, but this new job is only 3 miles from my house. Good bye two hour commute each way, hello fifteen minute commute each way. I was so happy.

Now, today, I received an email stating that the decision has not been made. People need to talk, etc. Ugh. Frustrating. Only thing I can do is take a walk and step on acorns.


Green ones are not satisfying. Slight crunch...some won't even crunch when I step on them. Not even with my heel.


Brown ones are EXTREMELY satisfying. Nice, solid crunch and sometimes I am rewarded with a loud, "POP," when I hit the acorn just right. Ahh. Take a walk, crunch acorns, and wait....

I hope your job comes through :)

Totally agree about green acorns...I gave up on stepping on them years ago...

Try stepping on a squirrel if no brown acorns abound :)

Maybe you can relieve tension and anxiety by stomping the heck out of some brown acorns...
