tales from an ordinary world

2002-08-20

I usually find the sudden, irregular early morning cafe bustle to be a pain in the ass, and retire hurt to my office with a takeaway coffee. But I wasn't in the mood to have my morning routine taken away from me so easily today. After the initial shock, it turned out ok. I ignored the teachers and students from the school across the street, who seem to be taking over the place at least once a week now, and had my damn coffee there anyway. The background hubbub of conversations eventually just blended into the background, and I may have even felt better than I normally would have on one of those quiet mornings when I've almost got the place to myself. I can't claim to understand this phenomenon, but I'm trying to accept it.
