    Girding myself for February. I have for years attested that it’s the shortest month because if it was any longer people would find the nearest window to fling themselves out of.

      February is DEFINITELY the worst month of the year. January is bad but you can still somewhat be enjoying the relative newness of winter, pretty christmas lights are still up for awhile, and there’s the excitement of new years eve and the start of a new year.

      February is when all the blah of winter really starts piling up, the cold overcast days drag on forever, the gloom suffocates your mood, everything outside is drab, and not only is there not a good holiday in february - but in fact there’s a bad holiday in february with valentine’s day.

      I don’t want life to feel like it goes any quicker than it already does, but february makes a good argument for a skip to march

        Over here february is nearing the end of the rainy season, with temperatures regularly above 30 and rain showers. I love it, but not as much as the thick of the rainy season, which was this month

        February holidays are wack too, at least as far as US holidays go. Valentine’s Day is a racket. Groundhog Day is likely the lamest divination ever regularly attempted. President’s day is dumb and mostly ignored.

          You think we’re going to be allowed to ignore President’s Day this year?

          If there isn’t a military parade in the streets For The God-Emperor, it’ll be a protest march to Remind Him He’s a President, Not a God-Emperor.

          Maybe both.
