Get the racial battle fatigue mug.An increasingly common ailment across the United States, particularly with the gainfully employed.
Symptoms include the overwhelming urge to curse and yell "Really????" when reading almost any headline, or email bulletin from Human Resources.
The stress from the modern work environment may often cause suffers to consume alcohol, and or play the guitar at Volume 11.
Causes are well understood. The human brain is not hardwired to speak as the everything should be filtered through a "lawyer buffer". Those on earth that still have some sort of "Sense of Humor" find the modern work environment challenging. (Not the WORK part.....the EGGSHELLS part

Get the CPCFS (Chronic Political Correctness Fatigue Syndrome) mug.Often abbreviated C.F.; Congress Fatigue comes when you stay in one place for too long. When suffering fro C.F. you exhaust all your resources (resources being your "Favorites List") or adding too many episodes of Hoarders to your TiVo. When one has done all this they suffer C.F. ever worse thus making them go into a rut that is damn near impossible to break. This can lead to the much worse, Cabin Fever. One can imagine this being felt by the actual members of Congress.
Charlie: Damn computers was brutal today!
Steve: I know! I didn't do anything but go onto my favorites list and I was still gettin' Congress Fatigue.
Charlie: I didn't do anything but use my phone to schedule Hoarders on TiVo.
