Don't expect fluffy and helpful...

[jay]

I'm putting together one proposal, helping with two others, under time pressure. My online responses will be infrequent, and I have two large chips on my shoulder and am ready to bite the head off of anyone that crosses me here. Even more counter-suggestive than usual. Anyone that pushes me is even less likely to gain cooperation than usual... and I'm in a mood to hunker down, circle the wagons, and defy any given orthodoxy or social or work cultural pressures. And I have a splitting headache, probably from sleep deprivation and low blood sugar. Anyone considering approaching me has been warned...

Just before I logged on to LJ I was writing a memo and in it I used "circle the wagons" too. What are the odds?

There... take it out on me... :)
