The Shortness of February

Gabriella is grumbling about the brevity of February…

Pauline: That’s what I love that about it. February’s like a polite guest drops in, brightens things up, and leaves before wearing out its welcome.
Gabriella: Brightens things up? Grey, freezing, and sneezing season!
Pauline: That’s the thrill. Think of it like a shortcut to spring.
Gabriella: Shortcut? My boss sets monthly deadlines and doesn’t acknowledge February’s missing a few days.
Pauline: That’s why I frontload everything into January. February’s for coasting.
Gabriella: “Coasting”? I feel the panic ramping up as February unfolds. Like a movie that is all about suspense and no slower scenes.
