Rage

Prompt: RAGE. Yours or anyone's else's. Your interpretation.

Road rage. People drive like idiots. It's snowing and some nut wants to drive 60 or over? I feel rage. I am trying to get home in one piece. Driving in snow plays on your nerves. People cut you off. This isn't right.

Patients at work. They go off in a tangent or rage about anything. The one guy thinks he has to hang around the Med Room Door all night and for a couple of hours or so, we are busy. He will pound his fist on the wall or the door and yell. The patients will throw things. This is why I go to Crisis Prevention Intervention every year to keep these people from causing damage to us and themselves. The word rage can be scary. Luckily for me, they act up on the other two shifts. I work midnights so I don't encounter the full force of this. I see enough. Rage? No thanks. Getting mad is one thing but rage is not a good thing.
