5 kinds of bored

1. The 'detox' going without coffee but I really want a coffee now - bored
2. The aching boredom of lingering tasks waiting for you at work that you need to do before you go on holidays
3. The 'this would be interesting if I only cared a little bit more' bored
4. The Radio Head makes me feel a little sad melancholic boredom
5. The please don't talk to me I'm premenstrual and all your conversation seems trite and I may feel the need to tell you' boredom

And as a special bonus, your free, no extra cost additional boredom:
6. The 'maybe if this had a french name it would sound more glamorous' boredom

5 kinds of irritated:
1. the walking behind someone so slow and self-absorbed they don't realise they're getting in the way of your pram kind or irritated
2. the just about to sit down to a coffee or lunch and a telemarketer rings kind or irritated
3. the having to repeatedly observe someone who just CAN'T let minor issues go and move on kind of irritated
4. the having to put up with stares from other parents at the park because your child is having a tantrum today (but this is not like him - honestly) kind or irritated,
5. the making a big point to remember something important but failing to write it down and at the crucial moment forgetting kind of irritated...

And as a bonus:
6. the high pitched drone you can hear late at night but can't quite tell if it's a mozzie but it stops you from going to sleep anyway kind or irritated
