incandescensNo, it isn't, but it feels bitter chill enough. I know, technically, that it's colder where other friends are, in New Hampshire or Canada or wherever. Snow on the ground, blizzards, winds, whatever. I just wish to say that it feels quite cold enough for me here right now.
The day was dispiriting -- end of commissioning, where we are supposed to be doing a work-to-rule again in order to prove that we're not getting the data that we should, and are thus having to hold back on researching the patient records we need, and know that the end-of-month data will be incomplete, which is bloody infuriating. I hope that our uberbosses change this policy soon. As it used to be, we worked viciously hard every commissioning, but we could work in an "all pull together" spirit, and we got it done, and then we went home and felt virtuous. Feeling virtuous is a good motivator. I wish our current bosses understood this, and I'm not sure how to make them understand.
(wanders around, randomly kicking small fluffy toys in a vicious way)
My sister (younger) is visiting tomorrow, with a male friend. I suddenly understand the older-brother reflex of wanting to loom and mutter threats. This knowledge will doubtless be useful to me later. I must now try and stamp any of it out of my face before I meet the guy, who is by all accounts a nice guy.
If this were an Emily Bronte book, I'd now go and drown some puppies. This is probably not a mood to do writing in.
"Tenpou, what are we doing in a pirate ship?"
"The author's getting bored, Konzen Douji."
"Tenpou, why are we _sinking_?"
"Now this is what the people Down Below call bailing . . ."

The author's getting bored...
