1) Go to sleep. The British, bless 'em, will generally fill up all the other seats before waking you up. You can help this by spreading yourself across the seats as much as possible and affect not to hear the first 'excuse me' - wait til they tap your arm.

2) Talk on the phone. You don't even have to be loud but look out of the window so that they can't make eye contact

3) Listen to a stereo. Preferably loud, but not essential. Most effective if you shut your eyes, giving the impression of being lost in the music.

Smoking has become such a ghetto. Its the huge taboo - these days at work its OK to drink or even be gay but admit you're a smoker and you'll get funny looks from everyone. Its really strange to walk around the city and see a clump of people outside every building having a quick fag even in weather like this (i.e. very cold). I can see why we forbid smoking in the office itself but couldn't we at least provide a break room for these poor people? It just seems a trifle unfair - I mean its not like it's illegal or anything.

Had an actually productive morning this morning. Finally had a brainwave for a change that one of my co-workers has been bugging me for for ages and got it sorted out in time to release it this afternoon which was cool. Probably am going to have a nice quiet afternoon and maybe even write my apathy essay(!) while I watch for any bugs from the release. Then am off out to watch Blade Runner tonight with Alex which should be cool - somehow I've never managed to see it all the way through in one sitting although I have seen all of it (if you see what I mean).

Emptied of expectation. Relax.
