I received an email yesterday, in Romanian, which really really wound me up. I've been stewing about it all day, planning how I would reply, and about 10 minutes ago I finally worked myself up enough to reply. So, I went to my inbox, clicked on the email, reread it - and realised that I had totally misread it yesterday, that instead of being obstructive and evasive the person involved was going out of their way to be helpful, and moreover I am a total dork. Well, I knew that already, but rereading (and properly understanding) this email has totally made my day. Hooray!
Yes I know I'm having far too much fun and going to lots of art and kulcha and stuff. I promise work is kicking off really (well, apart from today, when good intentions and reality sadly didn't do much in the way of coinciding, will do better tomorrow), but much as I'd like to talk about it, I can't go into lots of details because of confidentiality and suchlike. You'll just have to take my word for it :)
