Enfuriating.

Today has been a very annoying day and I am pretty glad it's over. It all started okay; I woke up in a decent mood which is very unlike me. The annoyance started when I got to the bus stop; I discovered that even though I had taken the care to put a Zubat into my Pokewalker and had taken my wallet and DS with me I had left my phone and debit card at home. This made me very angry as I require my phone at all times in order to idly check my twitter and facebook whenever I get bored. My debit card's requirement is obvious but luckily I JUST had enough money to get to town and back. Still this annoyed me, and made me worry about it's whereabouts for the rest of the day, even though I knew exactly where it was. Walking from the bus to work I was caught up in a minor blizzard, giving me the appearance of the abominable snowman; a misfortune which caused much delight to my colleagues on my arrival. Work itself was particularly frustrating today; my customers were all perfectly agreeable but it seemed that everything was running against me today from tills being horrifically slow through to laptops I sell being immediately faulty; one laptop I sold (brand new) arrived back literally five minutes later as faulty. Entertainment was to be had in a bitter battle over a 42" TV which appeared on the clearance list at 99 pounds; two people decided it was theirs leading to a despicable feud which lasted the whole day. The only real excitement today was the fact that I had a Zubat in my pocket the entire day. However, this had an enfuriating edge to it as every wild Pokemon I tried to capture escaped.

On my mad rush to the bus, prompted by my leaving work twenty minutes late, the snow had stopped falling in Inverness and what had settled in the morning had metled away. I overheard a woman I'd say was in her fifties complaining about the weather having just stepped out of her front door, saying the following in a rather angry voice; "I thought it was supposed to be terrible snowstorms today." This made me laugh as it is only in Britain that you can find someone complaining bitterly about there being a lack of something to complain about, as though the subsiding of the unwanted cold, stormy weather was something of a disappointment to her.

This evening the anger kept coming. I downloaded Marina and the Diamonds' album at which time iTunes informed me that an update was available. I screamed in joy as I clicked the accept button and half an hour later (due to the update being over 100MB and taking an age to install), I opened iTunes... nothing. I tried again. Nothing. I spent the next hour trying everything I could think of, along with suggestions from the useless support section of the Apple website, all to no avail. I have since found out that someone else I know is having the same issue, so it seems to be a bug in the program that I guess/hope/insist will be sorted out by tomorrow evening.

Well, I would say that I endured this day rather than any other word, and I am quite pleased to be going to bed.
