A supremely tiring week it has been, having to run from point to point across the island map attempting to complete Chief Signal Officer's translation taskings to satisfaction. Somebody tell me why I always am bestowed with the unnecessary honour of performing translations regardless of where I happen to be.
Linguistic seguing may be interesting most times, but when you're pioneering the synthesis of new words from a twistedly confusing glossary that only the good abbreviative citizens of the little island can produce, you'll realise that terminological fame arrives with unexpected price tags. And dealing with the media is incredibly taxing. All pettiness and little forgiveness, right down to the very last word. I'm tired, so tired.
--------
The premise still holds true - I still long for an elder sister. For wise words and acerbic wits, family hugs and cold shoulders, comforting presence and disconcerting absence; never merely one face of the story, but the whole, real, sincere package. Who sadly, shall never truly exist.
I shall be glad and grateful for godsisters whom I can respect and love, and retain a hope that maybe, just maybe, intangibility might transcend reality.
