Today I am grumpy. I had an insufficiency of breakfast AND and an insufficiency of lunch, which I inhaled while setting up a committee meeting that started at 1:00. Then I got stuck babysitting phone lines for an hour, which meant I couldn't go get any more lunch, and now I can't go anywhere until the committee meeting is over, so I probably won't get a break at all today. Normally I don't mind that, except that today it means I can't get away from the "if you aren't doing anything else, help with the P&R packets!" panic that's been going on since Monday, and the "SOP is in two and a half weeks and you must confirm the agenda instantly!" panic that my boss suddenly acquired this morning. If it was a productive panic, that would be one thing, but it wasn't.

I am sorely tempted to go out somewhere for dinner, preferably somewhere involving a largish slab of dead steer, but I really shouldn't.

[silly]Anybody want to buy me a largish slab of dead steer tonight if I promise to stop being grumpy by 5:00?[/silly]

We eat the flesh of the cow to gain its strength

just as we eat the flesh of the broccoli to gain its wisdom.

(This is really fun to chant in unison as orders of hamburgers arrive at a restaurant. Fortunately for the waitress, we tipped well.)
