Fear and Loathing on the Learning Curve: Observations on Life, Tech and Web Design from a Slightly Misanthropic Mind

Excuses, Excuses

So the Met Office, it seems, were right. I awoke this morn­ing at the respect­able hour of 10.30 to a thick cov­er­ing of snow over the garden, the street, and just about everything else out­side these walls. The snow is still fall­ing; looks like we’re up to about 2 inches on the flat; the teen­age single moth­ers are trudging through the street in their fake fur-topped jack­ets and spray-on jeans, scowl­ing as they push their kids in their prams, and the Alsatian next door has choked to death in sheer ecstasy. I have a lec­ture at 1pm, and this might be the best excuse ever not to go. But I’m torn. A minute or two of manly scrap­ing to unearth my car, and I could kick it into four-wheel-drive and spin off towards Campus, pos­sibly hav­ing the most enjoy­able drive of my life. Or death. Or I could stay here in the warm and skip some more lectures.

Ah, choices. I think I’ll give it a go. But not before break­fast. Ha!

This post was brought to you by the let­ter F for Frequency, as part of a cam­paign to get me post­ing more often. Trying to post more often and when the mood takes me, while stay­ing true to the “say some­thing when you say some­thing” mis­sion state­ment that star­ted all this.
