Lifestyle Course, Seminar

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Slartibartfast wanders down the corridor and into his classroom for the lifestyle seminar, and is somewhat surprised to see it still kitchen-shaped. He looks at his in-tray and sees no lifestyle essays whatsoever, and it takes him a few moments to realise that this is because he omitted to set an essay topic the previous week.

This calls for some quick thinking.

Ah, class, our topic this morning is all about thinking on your feet, adapting to circumstance, and making plans on the fly.
Please will each of you tell the group a little about how an ability to handle the unexpected can be an advantage for someone looking to have a really successful lifestyle.

He thinks he's got away with it. Just this once.

Thinking on your feet is an important skill to have in any situation that should suddenly arise, whether it's discovering the ghost of a dead parent has a sudden task for or, or that zombies are overrunning your school, or that you've neglected scholastic responsibilites under your care. If you are unable to think quickly on your feet there may be dire consequence for yourself or others, such as medical experimentation or being forced to clean buildings from top to bottom.
