I’ve avoided it as long as I can but I’m going to have to start lay­ing into the Wel­ling­ton buses. This will serve two pur­poses – to gath­er a weight of evid­ence with which to con­struct a plat­form from which I can launch a series of more form­al remon­strances; and pos­sibly more import­antly, to make me feel bet­ter.

I have begun a journ­al of woe – chron­ic­ling my prob­lems and frus­tra­tions – and you can join in too, if you want.
