In the Summer I usually take an antihistamine for Hay Fever. Herself reacted to a wasp sting the other weekend and borrowed my tablets. She checked the small print and found they can cause irritability. So... when I was biting the heads off students at work I could have blamed it on the medication... but what would have been my excuse in the winter?
But... I seem much more equable since I retired.

I think the problem on the 'Cat is that some folks can't distinguish between arguing and quarrelling. I used to have this problem with my parents when I was an obnoxious student myself. I thought I'd been sent to College to question everything and argue my corner, they had been brought up to think any disagreement was a personal attack. I think we worked through it after I left home. They became less sensitive and I hope I became more sensitive.
