All I wanted was a cup of...
Reprising this blog: of course, when you work 7 days a week it's easy to forget little things like the Arts Centre coffee shop being closed on Sundays.Well, sod it. I came out for a cup of coffee, and I'm not going home without one.
It's a chill day but sunny, and the University Square (actually an excitingly non-squarish sort of rhomboid between Union and Rootes, full of nice contoured and stepped slopes that'd've had MC Escher drooling) has benches. So I buy a large latte from CostGouger**, select a bench, fold up my jacket as a pillow, and whip out my iPod and magazine. The complete 'Starbucks third place' experience. But much cheaper, and I get to lie down too.
It's actually rather pleasant, watching the world go by above the fold of my magazine. Sleepy students, bemused parents, leather-elbowed lecturers with their minds on their next citation.
And all too soon, I'm at the bottom of the cup.
Oh well, time to head back and hit my airport retail project. Who knows, maybe I'll get some entertainment from dropkicking geese into the lake on the way.
** "CostCutter" is so misleading a description of the campus supermarket it should carry a government warning.

Aha, so you're joining the MBA club, Chris. Paul M flagged it to me and I've been amusing myself by reading your blog.
Good biz school too, that Warwick - quite rightly, they told me where to get off when I was casually looking into taking a course.
Work hard, play hard and try to learn something every day. I think that's how I survived my MBA.
