Last night

I had a strange night. I was convinced that I had been awake all night, but whenever I checked the time, it was a couple of hours later that the last time I had checked. I was deep in thought as the day's events started to sink in. I thought mostly about the assessment. I am certain that the assessor had given a much fairer report than the one I got first time round. Then I realised that she wasn't the one who would be making the decision. It was all down to some anonymous bureaucrat sitting at a desk in some remote office. That got me worrying, what with government quotas and all that.
