Imaginary Friends

Real friends have the advantage of being real. However, they can fail you for whatever reason, real or imaginary for them, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Everyday peace, everyday terror

In my work, every specific task goes together with a deadline. Either I meet the deadline with peace, when I get the task done, or with terror, when I don't get it done.
