I'm struggling with my job right now.  This is no martyr syndrome; I have more on my plate than I can deal with, and at least half of that is politics.  It's occupying a significant portion of my time right now.  Don't think I'm being irresponsible simply because I seem to be absent a bit.

I've made a promise to myself that I will post at least once per day except when completely impossible.  Despite that, don't mark your calendars expecting on a daily basis a intellectual, soliloquist dissertation.  I'll do my best.

Personally I'd like to sneak a small thermonuclear device into our corporate office to see if that could open it up a bit, perhaps getting some fresh air moving in amongst the otherwise stale and unused executive brain cells which seem to infect the place.
