I was wondering how you could possibly have written anything that required rot13.

Thanks for surprising me.

You make a good point.

I am more scared of the Glasgow job, as it seems to be the higher-risk, higher-reward option. That also means that I can regret it to a disproportionate degree, by concentrating on the potential rewards without properly factoring the risks in. Sometimes I hate my brain.

Sometimes I do do the ‘flip a coin, then decide based on how you feel about the outcome’ thing, but I feel indifferent or ambivalent even after seeing what the coin says, in which case I default to obeying it.

If anyone is torn between curiosity and worrying that there might be a good reason for the rot13, the justification for it applies mainly to cjb230.
