tomorrow afternoon, there will be a meeting which will kickstart
a mad flurry of activity for the other guy in my section.. his
project.. it will inevitably overflow to me..
and next tuesday, there will be a meeting which will kickstart an
even madder flurry of activity which is my project... which will
inevitably not overflow because that's how it is when i
work...
in the meantime, there's our normal work which is bad enough..

the waiting is sometimes worse than the actual mad flurry of
activity
