This week has had more than its share of idiots. I only told you about one, yesterday, but already today (before 10 am) my inbox is flooded with emails from intelligent people who simply haven't thought things through. All week, I've been the recipient of emails that I describe as "I should have got back to you sooner." Some of them are really "I don't normally take this long so I'm sorry if this major delay has caused problems at your end" or "Your email bounced and I didn't try the main email we have for you" or "I'm doing you a favour" and they all add up and they all create in me a desire to give up on everything.

Every time someone sends me one of these emails, it makes my life somewhat harder in several respects. I'm willing to lay odds that the moment my body is realigned and the pain stops and I'm vibrant and dangerous, the emails stop. I guess I should encourage people to send me all the unlikable emails this week so I can finally get past them. I want the world to go right, though, just for a few months.

To be honest, it was already a bad week. There are things I don't talk about on my blog (because they're not about me and I have no control over them and the privacy of these people matters to me) and they do affect me and quite often they're pretty uncool.

I doubt the week will improve, but I shall get through it anyhow. Because. Things will start getting less fraught (the background things) after Tuesday.
