Ghost campus, timewasting

[triskellian]

It's a little after eight in the morning. Campus is deserted. There are a couple of other people in this pooled computer room, but they look like staff, too. My class doesn't start till 9.30, and the staff common room, where I'm going to sit and do some work until then, doesn't open till 8.30. And I have to be here at this ridiculous hour to have any hope of parking, so that I can get to my office on a satellite campus in time to do some work this afternoon.

The staff common room, incidentally, is technically not open to me, as I don't have an access card. I'm hoping someone will take pity on me, and not assume I'm just a student trying to sneak in. I'm currently deluding myself that I look like a student. The guy at the cinema last week thought I looked enough like a student that he asked me if I was (and didn't ask any of the other members of my posse), and gave me the discount anyway, despite some inefficiencies on my part in the 'getting student card' department. So that's good enough for me.

So it's now nearly 8.30, and this exercise in random burbling has been successful. I'm going to go and get some hot caffeine and do some work.

ooh, don't forget "Borderline"!

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

I didn't. Sorry ;-)

Oooh, Borderline! Much better than the Zephyr Song to have in my head :-)

<sings happily>
'Borderline, feels like I'm going to lose my mind...'

And then forgets most of the rest of the words. D'oh.

You asked for it, Onebyone, I'm going to be playing antique Madonna tapes at you when I pick you up this evening. Assuming Smiorgan hasn't hidden them somewhere ;-)

Can I plead, something, anything.
A whole car journey of antique Madonna songs might have some kind of sanity destroying effect.

It'll probably be OK - I'm not driving, and I'm currently suffering the effects of the 'driver picks the music' rule that I invented when I was the only driver :-(
