Looking on the Bright Side

As much as it annoys me, you and everyone else you know, the immense amount of snow over the past few days (the last week for Dundonians) has sufficiently minimised all of our social lives. It's not so bad when you're living in the city centre as everything is conveniently placed and rather than making the effort to go and see people, they make the effort to traverse through the slush and ice into the centre. But I don't live in - or near - the Dundee city centre and only have one night before embarking on a voyage to Glasgow in a bid to be ready for work by 6pm. Still, life could be worse:

1. One of your favourite bands could release a mediocre - or worse - album after years of anticipation.
2. Purchasing food in Greggs, only for your steak bake to be cold, crispy and generally unappetising.
3. You find a £1 coin on the floor, only to realise on closer inspection that it has the value of 1p, thus ruining your day.
4. Journey - Don't Stop Believing could be played at any given moment.
5. Worse than number 4, Glee - Don't Stop Believing could be played at any given moment.
6. Jeff Stelling breaking the news that a 4:46pm coupon-buster of a goal has been scored, preventing £100+ being pocketed for a Saturday night out.
7. You could break your leg.
8. That awkward moment where you tell a joke that severely offends someone in the group.
9. Trying to get to sleep and hearing cringeworthy sex noises coming from next door.
10. More snow could fall and make life that bit more inconvenient.

Appreciate life as it is just now, make the effort to travel through these dire conditions so that when you reach your destination, you feel a sense of accomplishment. On the other hand, you could crank up the heating, put your feet up, designate a place in your fridge for numerous beverages, invite people over and indulge in a Star Wars marathon; which reminds me:

   11. You could be stuck watching a Star Wars marathon with the host deciding to start from Episode I, with you not having the power to tell the host he/she is too dimwitted to realise that Episode IV - A New Hope is the first film of any Star Wars marathon.
