Grumpy? Well yeah, sometimes. I get frustrated by hypocrisy and bureaucracy, and the load of stuff I have to do. I get tired, physically drained. And I have a limited capacity for social affairs. I spend all day talking to people. It's what I do for a living. I don't want to go out after work and talk to people. I don't like all that milling about at parties. I want to go home.
