Computer says “no”

After a successful critique with tutors John L. & Keith G. at 11:30 AM, I went down to Convergence to help Laura C. with her video project due in at 3:00 PM.

Having abandoned the PCs for video editing yesterday, production took place on a Mac. But that too was being a bugger and wouldn’t let us export without nonsensical perseverance.

Still, by the end of the day I’d burnt my first DVD. At least I think it was my first.

Whatever - I didn’t leave until late and walked to my bus stop with Laura C, Wes R. and John ¿ The bus driver excellently remembered me from earlier in the week, greeting me as I boarded with: “Hello again, mate. How’s it going?”

At one point during my journey, the bus got caught in a traffic jam, which saw the vehicle moving at a VERY slow pace as you’d no doubt imagine. Despite this sluggish movement, a lad not too much younger than myself still managed to fall down the last couple of stairs.

It wasn’t a dangerous fall - he landed on his feet. It just looked a bit tossy, as did the way in which he recovered.

The force of the giggle loop could then be felt in the air, and as soon as the doors had shut after the lad got off, the two girls in front of me, the two to my right, two chaps towards the front of the bus and myself all burst out laughing.

To be honest, I’m surprised we managed to hold it in for so long.
