Conditions Assessed As Subdued; Bureau Advises Managed Expectations And Layered Clothing

A last-quarter moon has been correlated, per Section 4(2)(b) of the Bureau's Cyclical Influence Register, with a general reduction in romantic initiative and an elevated tendency to re-read old messages rather than compose new ones. Mid-cycle financial positioning (ten (10) days to payday) is noted as a moderating factor, with the consequence that gestures of romantic expenditure are inadvisable and split-billing protocols are hereby considered pre-approved. Clear skies and a daytime maximum of sixteen (16) degrees Celsius present conditions conducive to the wool-coat gambit; however, the Bureau observes that residents of Inner West postcodes are reminded that a good coat is not, of itself, a personality. In the absence of any gazetted events, the Bureau anticipates a modest volume of submissions under Form 12-R (Unsolicited Situationship Escalation) and reminds the public that all such submissions require a fourteen (14) day cooling-off period.
