Wah it is Monday morning for sure!
Was lucky enough to make it to Delft train station, got my bike, raced to the office. When I arrived, it turns out that all the lifts were out of order, so I had to drag myself, my backpack, my big textbooks, and my sports bag up 5 flights of stairs.
After dropping off everything I didn't need, I wanted to leave my building so I could go to the building where my lecture was, only to find that the *door* was out of order.
Arriving at the lecture hall, I discovered that my Acrobat reader had died, so I had to uninstall and reinstall. That finally done, I had my slides up on the big screen and started my lecture, only for my laptop to crash when I tried to navigate to slide 2.
While it rebooted, I improvised the first part of my lecture without slides. The lecture hall was super cold, so I wanted to get tea, but the machine wasn't working...
After all the train and laptop problems I had on Friday, I can hardly blame Monday morning for this, but still 😳
At the end of the lecture a lot of questions from students that started with "Sorry, you probably covered this, but I missed the first part of the lectures because my train wasn't running..."
Students were cool, tho, so that was nice!
