Last week I received a letter from HRDC collections.  To make an
excruciatingly frustrating story less rant-worthy, I'll just say HRDC
was being unresponsive.  They still are, but I hope to change that.

But last week, rage built up and I spewed a few rants in here 
(under the "Urgent Help Needed" board).  I noticed the rage boiled
up just when I felt I lost control.  Now I know how a collection
agent feels.

After blowing my top and writing about it here, I hopped on my bike and
pedalled the rage away.  20 km later, I was ready to approach the
problem rationally. 

I noticed the first thing that goes when I become irrational is the
warning system in your head that tells me I'm being irrational. 
So, when I feel ready to sail over the edge, I know to burn that off
that energy with some kind of physical activity.  Starve the
furious process before it takes hold.

HRDC is a frustrating beast. 
So, sorry about the rants.  I'll try to keep my head in the future.

Actually...I do already.  Nine years now.

You should see when I don't meditate for a few days.  Hoo-ee...
