To any of ‘the Commission’ reading this, don’t take that quote too literally.  ‘Holiday Project’ is in good shape.

But personally I’m starting the week dealing with stress.  It feels more stressful than normal because a) it’s disrupting my day to day operations and b) the overall picture is looking very bright.  And truth be told, c) it’s one of those times where you get pulled into drama that’s not your creation but it’s your responsibility to solve it.
