trivial work gripe 

It's not the writing that's draining. It's not the research that's draining. It's the communicating.

When it's just me versus the database, everything's fine and I can almost kinda focus and I love my job.

But this month has all been judging the work of actual people, with no choice but to tell them at least SOMETHING about what I think of their work. Every word carries a risk of committing offense, and it costs me about two spoons per hour just to run the social filters. ;_;
