lol! I was talking to Rob about this comment today. In Australia, the term "pissed" is taken to mean "drunk" or "intoxicated", so when I read it for the first time, I was even more confused, thinking that he meant he was drunk at the time and so wasn't as angry as he had anticipated! lol...
<vbg> But, upon rereading it, I *thought* it was intended to read as: "My angst diminished when I picked up an ist D the first time. I *was* pissed." meaning that he had been previously annoyed, UNTIL he picked it up at which time his "angst diminished" and so his state of being "pissed" was in past tense ie "was". hehe, how silly to be deliberating over such trivial things. I am procrastinating as I should be working, I have more of those product shots that Shel hates so much to shoot. Already, "wasted" much of my day gas-bagging to Rob on the phone, so I really should get back to it... tan.
