The Current Situation

A special picdump for those strange days between Christmas and New Year’s

The eight days from Christmas to New Year, traditionally known as the Christmas Octave, are a strange time for those of us in the working world. Some of us are back at work, some of us aren’t, and it feels like we’re simultaneously busy and getting nothing done at the same time.

This special picdump is all about the Octave — enjoy!
