Workitus
An incurable disease. Symptoms occur anywhere from 1-3 days a year. It’s incurable but not too debilitating. It has an onset of irritability, weariness and homicidal thoughts. It’s usually mild enough to work through but if it comes close to reaching the homicidal stage you need to take a day to just do nothing and relax. Of course, It’s best to catch it before it reaches that stage but it typically only stays at the thought process and not the actual performing of the homicide. Although, for some reason that scientists haven’t figured out why yet, if you suffer from workitus and have a job at the post office, let’s just say you should change your career.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
