Okay, so my trip to work lasted about three minutes
I live on a side-street off a side-street. And it's _still_ noisy as hell from the wind out there. But, hey, you gotta go to work.
Until I wandered out onto the main road, a piece of metal blew past me at about 30 miles an hour, I had to struggle to stay upright from a constant stream of high-speed air, and then struggle back to my turning when I decided "Fuck this" and headed home again.
So I'm now using remote desktop to connect to the office so that I can find a phone number for a manager that I can tell I'm taking the day off.
Ok, so it looks like both my manager and my lead developer have the day off anyway. I shall take an impromptu one and get stuff done around the flat instead!
Aaaand, the Met Office have a Red warning over my flat:

Quantum Locking - now for racing purposes!
Remember this awesome demo of what you can do with some liquid nitrogen, quantum superconductors and a handy magnetic field?
Now, imagine you spent your Christmas break setting up the lab so that you could use that effect to play classic Playstation game WipeOut?
Magnets, how do _they_ work, eh?
