On a scale of...

Today I have had the time to do nothing but get angry. If my anger were charted on the y-axis against time on the x-axis, where time was measured in half-hour intervals from 9:30 am until the the present (5:00 pm), and where the specific measure of anger was the length of my fuse, with 100 being the longest and 0 being "I am a human bomb", then one might see a line beginning at 9:30 am on the x-axis and at about 45 fuse-length. One would then see that said line would run horizontally along the x-axis until about 10:30 am when it would begin a gradual plummet from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. At 1:00 the line would measure at the 30 fuse-length level on the y-axis. At 1:00 there would be a quick drop to 20 (this is when I realized I would be working through lunch on work that is not mine to do). At 1:15 it would sneak up to 25, but work its way down to 18 by 1:16. This would coincide with my obtaining a reece's peanut butter cup only to drop it on the floor once I unwrapped it. After this point, it would basically level out at 20 for the duration of the day until 5pm.
