Welcome to the Plateau

Running on a negligible amount of sleep, I feel as though I’ve spent the entire day marking time—not going anywhere, not getting anywhere. And yet, somehow, I’ve achieved a fair amount of nothing!

And behold, I have reached the plateau.

How long will I be here? No one can tell me—not even ChatGPT, with its vague, noncommittal estimate of anywhere between three days and six weeks. Or perhaps twelve weeks? It seems no research is willing to commit to a definite timeline.

No matter. As always, I have tomorrow to look forward to.

And yes—tomorrow will be better.
