An anorak's guide to survival (1)




Scenario :: Cold weather
Goodness. Cold weather is the worst, especially when it is very cold in your bedroom. What I like to do it's too chilly to sleep is pretend I'm camping out in an abandoned building during the zombie apocalypse. Sure, I could get up and turn the heating back on, but it's more economical and fun to pretend that there's no heat to turn on because the zombies have eaten everyone.

Scenario :: Oh no, there is a large group of people congregating outside my office (I hate them all) and I need to get past them to get to the tea room
What can you do? Sometimes people just like to stand around in large groups because it reinforces their feelings that they are doing something important. "Ha ha, we are so important," they think, "we are 100% more important than your previously unobstructed path to the tea room." Sigh. Best to just wait until they disperse and hope they don't want to use your photocopier.
