How to tell you're having a bad day

I was playing one of my favorite puzzle games online - Bejewled. I haven't played in awhile and there's a new version out. One of the added touches to V2 is that sometimes when you make an extra special move the game flashes "EXCELLENT" across the screen. Now even though I don't know what moves cause the "EXCELLENT" to appear (haven't figured that out) I have to say it makes me feel good whenever I magically make it happen. It indeed makes me feel "EXCELLENT". And as I was sitting there getting a tiny ego boost from it all it occurred to me that my day is really sucking if that actually makes me feel better. But it does and I'll keep mindlessly playing just on the off chance I can be "EXCELLENT" for a more seconds.
