Rotten Animal Spirits


March is cruel, in an animal sort of way.  Youth has its hormonal surge. More daylight awakens stirring to get outdoors in us all but the weather (old people always complain about the weather) always prevents real outdoor activity. All of the projects put off in the repair department are now visible, compounded by the ‘get ready for summer’ projects.  Frustrations run high.

And then there are the chronic complainers and whiners (or whingers if you are in the UK).  Generally cooped up all winter, the complainers emerge in force.  They hog the conversations, imposing their self-absorbed complaints.  They confront for no reason. They bollix up what should be a delightful spring. Their animal spirits are negative. Ignoring them is difficult, but best.
