Even the distribution of rations leaves much to be desired; the fatigue party, well-intentioned and sympathetic though it be, often finds itself short of provisions. ↗

I feel like saying we need to all calm down a little. Let's take the time to breathe. I have no intention of allowing myself be distracted. ↗
