Okay loooosers, get back to work. The New Year has started to tarnish, and pretty soon you'll sink back into the fetid mire of "Why am I doing this?" (But you'll probably keep doing it anyway.)
I too am at work again (did I ever leave? I'm not entirely sure that I did), but I am suffused with the radiant glow of jovial cynicism and tight deadlines that is my lot.
I need a deadline in a larger size please. Could I try a size 14?
