It's remarkable really. How someone can be so smart and so bloody brainless at the same time. Honestly, I swear to Rowena, the imbeciles I work with are going to blow the entire bleeding department up with their stupidity. How bloody hard is it to read a fecking label on what you think is extract of lacewing fly before adding it to your fecking potion. Nearly lost half my research in the ensuing fire.

I'm fireproofing my desk before I leave tomorrow. I'm fireproofing and then going on holiday far away from the idiots I'm forced to interact with on a regular basis. And if it all goes to shite while I'm gone, they can explain it all because I'll be in Milan.
