Am I annoyed? YES!

Do I have many other things to worry about? YES

Are those other things also important? YES

Good news is that academics are going better these last few months than they have been for the last couple of years. Will fill in the details when I have my own computer back and I'm not trying to grab a few minutes of blogging at work.
