'I've made an advent calendar for Blue Monday...Yesterday was a picture of an overdue gas bill...Today is a picture of a secondary school teacher starting a course of anti-depressants.'

"My favorite way to start the day...coffee, danish, and a data dump."

"You're late, Myers!"

Sleepwalking to work.
