Ups and downs

On the "up" side: for the first time in nearly four months, I will come into work tomorrow morning without a manuscript requiring my immediate attention waiting for me. I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing tomorrow, but I think I'll be able to figure something out. [Heh, heh.]

On the "down" side: a joke e-mail has triggered a set of responses in my group that borders on thermonuclear meltdown within the group. I'm just sitting on the sidelines and watching this one unfold. I just hope things don't get any nastier than they are at the moment.
