Campaign of being nicer to myself off to a reasonable start, actually ate some lunch on my, admittedly late, lunch break, decided to cut back dramatically on smoking with an eye to maybe stopping altogether at some point, doing better at not feeling responsible for other peoples' repulsive behavior. Helps a lot for me to face the fact that I can easily feel extremely fond of people while still finding a lot of what they do asinine, childish & pointlessly cruel.

OK, back to work.
