Trusty Doc Martens

Walked into work this morning through snow, both on the ground and falling thickly from the sky. Luckily, I had the good sense to look out of the window before I decided what shoes to wear, so I chose appropriately, and since I only live 10 minutes' walk away from work anyway, it didn't really bother me.

I'm sure it's adversely affecting some people, though, and I feel particularly sorry for those who've now got transport problems to add to exam stress. None of my own students actually have exams today, but it is currently exam season both throughout Queen's and for all those pursuing GCSEs and A-Levels. So sympathies to anyone on my friends list who woke up this morning and thought 'Bugger, that's the last thing I need' rather than 'Ooh! Snow!!'.

Humph. You've got snow. I haven't. Humph.

And I had crawling traffic this morning (two independent accidents on the road I drive to work) without even any nice snowy winter scenery to look at.

Humph.

Ooh, that sucks! Sounds a bit like having a hangover when you know you didn't drink a drop the previous night.

Indeed :)

I don't feel I can grumble too much, though, because however annoying it was to have to sit in a jam, it was a lot worse for the people in the accidents!

This is true.
