The ridiculous degree to which my emotions go up and down due to fluctuations in 'the business' is...well, ridiculous. A roller-coaster seems a very apt metaphor.

But it occurred to me last night (during which I went from a big down to a quite high peak) that perhaps the secret to better stability is to recognise the depths and enjoy them as if I'm looking on - "Gee, now that's an exciting kind of desperation you've got yourself into, isn't it?"

Which may be utter balderdash. But such are the temporarily useful things that get me through dark periods.
