I cannot tell you how much I love that it's perfectly okay for you to talk about knitting, and then put "I overslept this week" as the first line in point No 1 (and then you detail all the vast amounts of work that you still got done). I get so fed up when the prevailing work culture is that it is incredibly difficult to admit to anyone that one might actually be a human being with non-work stuff that sometimes intrudes into work life - especially when you have the kind of work that intrudes into non-work life all the fucking time, as I imagine DW does.

(Context: I have that type of on-duty-all-the-time job, as well as serious off-duty caring responsibilities. I was signed off work for two weeks by the doctor yesterday, and I'm debating whether I dare even to tell my boss, never mind actually take the time off.)
