Tip of the Post:
Don’t kid yourself. It can always get worse than it is. In any situation. Which I guess is somewhat comforting – you can never truly be at rock bottom. It’s statistically impossible.
Take the weather for example. UBC has been blighted by an excruciatingly long-winded bought of fog for upwards of 11 days now. Hoping for some sort of reprieve, I looked up the forecast for Vancouver area a couple of days ago and was greeted with this lovely message:
Now if you can’t read that properly, I’ll clarify: freezing fog. As in fog that is crystallizing around your face, going up your nose, and making the walkways excessively (and invisibly) slippery. Not to mention the fact that ship foghorns – which I have learned to hate – were blowing even more frantically than usual, the whole freezing fog issue was really ruining my day. I didn’t even know it was possible until I looked it up.
Alas, it is. And we didn’t get the forecasted sun, either. I am learning to hate The Weather Network.
But at least I’m not stranded in a blizzard-tornado storm or anything.
Weariness,
