Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Bah, that means you finish way too late.

I like coming in a 6h30-7h am because I get to be home at 3:15pm

Yeah. It's not too bad in the summer, but a bitch in the winter. still i am not a morning person, so sleeping in is good.

Not having frost on your car in the morning is good though.

Why would going in at 10 mean there's no frost on your windshield?

The snow here is really bad.
The main roads are well maintained and fully drivable but once you get off those and into estates all that is done is what the people themselves do with the (now depleted) salt stocks.
I feel like I've been playing prop in rugby with all the van pushing I've just had to do to get my dad home.

This morning the 4x4 wouldn't even start due to the snow and my mam had to get a taxi to work.

I assume he goes in at 10 year round. There's bound to be some part of that where there's frost at 7 and not 10.  :P

Damn, connecting a ATI graphics card to a TV is a bitch, you have to go through a lot of settings to do it- messing up your existing settings in the process. With my laptop its just plug in and one button.

...amnd solving this has coincided with my external hard disk dying.
"one of the usb devices attached to the computer has malfunctioned" and it just doesn't get detected...buggery^24.
All my music and lots of important stuff is on there.

The sun has been up for a while by then maybe?

I hate it when the pipes where my windshield fluid comes out from freeze up, and when I use my wiper it just dirties my winshield even more with road scum, dirty blades and salt.

I hate winter.

Right. Let me explain. I never use anythign BUT freeze resistant windshield wash.

What happens, though, sometimes, is that on cold days, ice  is lodged inside the hole from where the liquid comes out. The liquid is still nice and liquid, but its passage out to my windshield is blocked by a piece of hard snow/ice lodged inside the hole.
