How to counter a bad mood, in seven easy steps

[kangeiko]

If you, like so many others, have spent £10 of your hard-earned cash on what turn out to be DVD-Rs rather than CD-Rs and the shop will not take them back, here is how to counter the bad mood this will cause:

1. Purchase the CD-Rs anyway. There's no point in having spent £10 on pointless things and not having CD-Rs.

2. Visit the website of ultimate cuteness and coo over the cute kitties.

3. Do a ring-around of all your tech savvy friends to find out who has a DVD-rewriter.

4. Decide that, rather than going through the hassle of selling on the DVD-Rs you'd just rather give them to said friend, because you haven't seen them for ages and they are lovely and always happy to do you a favour and isn't it nice when people randomly give you stuff? Yes. Make friend inexplicably happy.

5. Feel happy for making friend inexplicably happy. Feel happy about cute kittens. Decide that £10 isn't that much anyway, and you'd probably end up spending it at Starbucks, and you've just survived your graduation without having a row with your parents, and without any disasters.

6. Also, you have tea.

7. Laugh at yourself for getting worked up over something as silly as a mis-purchase. Have a biscuit.

The end!

Don't forget to phone a friend mid-rage in the shop and confuse her utterly by starting your sentence "they won't take them back!" when she has no idea who "they" or "them" is.
