So now that I've actually done something today..

I have a bit more worth writing about now that I've gotten out of my desk chair.

First, the weather in Cardiff really stinks today. Its not just the usual grey but an angry churning storming grey. Along with it its raining off and on, not enough to be a true rain but enough to make everything cold and wet. A couple of days ago it was unthinkable that I'd need warm clothes again, but I've got one of my fleece vests on just to keep the chill away.

Second, I should probably add to the list of interesting people I've talked about on the blog. Here's a quick start. I've gone to the Subway up the street from the Talybont complex many times, but I've never really talked to the guys who work there. I've had the same person wait on me more than once, and they always say hello to me with a little more gusto than some of the other customers. I guess I qualify as a regular. I apparently misspoke today while giving my order, so the guy at the counter corrected me. This started off a conversation. He guessed, based on my accent, that I was from "New England" and I correctly ID'd him as Indian. It turned out we were both Cardiff students, the different being that he's here for his MBA. I was a little surprised because his english has always been a little limited, and hindered further by his heavy accent. Regardless of first impressions if he's managed to get in an MBA program he's probably not too shabby. We shook hands and wished each other good luck in our studies.
