“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
The worst thing about coming back from a vacation on a Sunday night, is having to show up to work on a Monday morning. And when you have to travel all day from a foreign country to get back home, facing delays, endless stupidity, and the inevitable vagaries of public...
OK, yes, I know, this edition of everyone’s second-favourite series on Didactic Mind is WAY late. I have a good excuse. I’m travelling. (Yeah… not such a great excuse, admittedly.) But, I did land up here at midnight, and the taxi fare getting to the...
Ah, Monday. Here we go again. The weekend went by way too damn fast – I’m actually shocked at how fast it zipped by, but then, I was sick for quite a lot of it. I won’t horrify you with the details, but let us just say that it was very unpleasant....
Argh, it’s Monday again. Hopefully you all had a decent weekend – mine felt like it whizzed by WAY too fast, and I very much suspect I got shortchanged somewhere. It is a wearisome and dreary thing to drag oneself off to work after a weekend of peace and...
Well, here we are at long last – the very first Monday of 2023. At some level, it is actually difficult to believe we made it to this point – and I’m not simply talking about the epic hangovers and severe stomach distress that I’m sure some of...
Happy Christmas, everyone, and I hope you enjoyed your evening feast, without getting into any fistfights between your various relatives over politics, religion, or vaxx-passes. For the rest of you – well, it’s Boxing Day in PommieBastardLande, and if you...
Ugh, here we go again – another Monday, this one with rain and cold and misery. Not to mention, piles of work to get through because it’s the last week before Christmas, and that means EVERYTHING has to be done PDQ before everyone’s brain switches...
Ah, Monday, our old enemy. We meet again at last. Actually, this day just exists to remind us how short the weekends are, and how little time there is to rest and recover from the travails of the previous week. Certainly I could have used an extra three or four hours...
Well, here we are again, after far too short a weekend and far too little real R&R. I had to spend some of yesterday working, as there never really seems to be enough time to get things done during the week, but that’s OK – things will be pretty...
Ugh. Monday. Right after Thanksgiving, too – I suppose this must be the inevitable price to be paid for all of that good cheer and happy FEELZ from the best American holiday of the year. (To my great amusement, I heard one of my coworkers on Friday say that he...
