Marooned in EH54
MC came off shift when i walked into the office today at 11pm, and swung by for some banter. I told him that i'd run him up to the train station at 11.30. Unfortunately, I got dragged into a meeting, which finished long after the last train left Livingston for Edinburgh.
His Options:
1. Get a taxi home. This will cost £25. A large sum of money - but MC wants to spend this money so that he can get home early and go to sleep. The weak option.
2. Capitalise on time the time by finalising and printing his CV, and then applying for jobs.
3. Run the 18miles home. This will make him hardcore, and he will have a story.
4. Convince me to drive him home. Not happening.
5. Wait until 7am, and I will drive him home when i finish work.
Although one cannot forget that MC was the man, who, just over a year ago, rumaged through a dustbin on the street outside Casa Todd, and produced a half eaten pizza. He ate it.
In true Campbell style, he has found a pizza that someone has leftover on the desk, and is eating it. There is no way to determine how long the pizza has been on the desk - as we do not even know to whom it once belonged. His only comment was "Although it wasn't warm, it was soothing and satisfying". I feel queasy.
Update - 1.40am : A sixth option has been resourced. Through the kindness of a security gaurd, MC has allowed to sleep in the nurses room until 6am.
