Tales of Riba rage (Or, How I made a scene in public)

So I yelled at this nice guy at church yesterday because I asked him for his table and he said he needed and could I get another one. I went off and was ranting and walked into the FRONT of church, which had already started, and came through the front and basically interrupted the guy giving announcements and everyone looked at me.
I know it's probably worse in my head.  Then you go through the whole apologetic " Sorry I am on medication " routine.
But since I am here for support I KNOW you guys can relate!
Go ahead, let me hear them.  I need a good laugh.

I didn't have the riba-rage so much as the interferon-stupid.

Once, I calmly sat at my desk, dialed a number and waited for the answer. I forget whom I was really trying to call but in my fog I had dialed my own cellphone without realizing.

When my celllphone started ringing, I got anxious because the person I was calling on my desk phone had not answered and I figured I was going to miss the call. So I put down the phone and quickly answered my cellphone. Instead of saying "Hello", I said "Could you hold on a minute".

I then went back to my desk phone and noticed the line was not ringing anymore, so I said "Hello, Hello ...can you hear me now?"  No answer.

Mystified, I hung up the desk phone and picked my cellphone to find that I had been disconnected.  ????

After a minute of quiet head scratching, I realized what I had done. I did not know whether to laugh or cry. I think I mostly cried. They say you can't fix stupid, but interferon and Ribavirin sure can make it worse!

I had a few incidents of Riba rage before the Xanax prescription quelled them. My Blackberry is chipped from me throwing it while I was on tx. I need to make it(the Blackberry) last until Feb. 8 when I can get an iPhone at a discount! Yes, many of us can totally relate.

By the way, there is nothing like the declaration of 'SVR' to bolster the resolve of a prayer warrior group and provide reinforcement to the activity. They need those kinds of victories, so good thing HCV is curable.

               Don't feel like the lone ranger... I use the I'm sorry I am on medication routine on the regular. As I near the end of this road I have been recently contemplating what my excuse will be when I am not on medication anymore. LOL

May be the nice guy was doing you a favor.  He probably guessed that you were going to stand on the table and yell even more. And no, it's probably not worse in your head. On the positive side, you can probaly expect to see your name on the prayer list next week.
