a world that doesn't want me to change...

started my work-week (as yesterday was make-up-for-previous-slackness-day) with bravery and finally opened the e-mail subjected 'reminder' ... and here is what was in there:
"I hope you are all well and able to enjoy what I hope will soon be a nice and sunny spring. Not that we have seen much of it yet in Germany. Since we are currently having a term break here, we are eager to make progress on the publication of the conference proceedings. I would therefore like to ask you to submit your contributions to the volume by mid-April at the latest or, if you should have decided against sending us your article, to please let us know." Another month! yeah! or rather ... damn immediately my finally kicked-in stress level subsided again....
but the funniest part of it all was the list of recipients: not only were all three of the group I hang out with during the conference (looong and very tasty whiskey nights) on that list, but - not unexpected - my former boss as well... thus, at least the impending danger of being just like him should keep me on my toes...
