I’m sat in the library chilling with a computer I’ve decided to name Frank. I like Frank, if you spend enough time with him people will think you’re working really hard. But you never are.
You see, Frank is holed up in the corner of the Library where you can see everybody but nobody can see your screen. They can see you’re sitting in front of a computer, they can hear your fingers tap tap tap the keyboard but they can’t see the game of Tetris on the screen. This is a good thing too because its around this time of day that the place gets a bit crowded.
Every working computer will have a tenant by 11. By a quarter past 11 the room will be filled by a transient class of wild eyed and desperate students, patrolling the room like a pack of hyenas, ready to pounce at the first sign of an opening-a free computer. If they could see what I wasn’t up to I’d imagine that I’d have suffered some type of reprimand by now. Of course, I haven’t.
I know your project is due in half an hour, and it’ll only take two minutes because you just want to print it and…please don’t start crying….its just that I’m on level 15 and you can’t save-listen, you’ll just have to find another computer.
Now, I’ve hunted with the Hyenas before. I’ve been in a shaking fit of rage as I marched in circles around the packed library eyeballing the bastard who’s killing time on bebo when I clearly have work to do-and important work at that.
But when you’re sitting on the other side of the fence, empathy goes clean out the window. I’m gonna sit hear watching youtube with my headphones on,fuck it, I might even make a phonecall while I’m at it-I’ll even put it on loudspeaker so that everyone can hear. Then someone I know will come over and I’ll give out loudly about not being able to concentrate in such a structured environment.
Ye, I’m fucking deadly
