Being afflicted unexpectedly by a sudden attack of the cold virus has given me the perfect opportunity to post and reaffirm a vow I made to myself just a couple of days ago, that while physical discomfort might (or most certainly, will) give me a propensity towards grumpiness and ill-temperedness, the license to act upon that urge doesn't come with the package. Apparently those kinds of licenses aren't issued, though allowances of patience might be made in cases which call for exceptions.
