N's and L

Today I worked 9 to 5. My previous statement whereby I said that this shift goes past quicker apparently cursed me, as it took forever today. I did however do my share of good deeds in giving discount to a boy like 10 years old buying his first camera with christmas money and fixing someone's ipod instead of sending it away for repair like I should have done. The week has been horrendous in terms of there being no customers, so unless tomorrow turns out to be a major change I have no chance of hitting my targets. This annoys me.

The earlier part of the evening was spent with Drew and Darroch, where we filmed Darroch's scene for Milk Paton. It is incredible how less than a minute of filming will lead to literally hours on a computer for Drew, painstakingly editing every damn frame. It lies somewhere between heroic and insane in my estimation, but the final product will certaintly pay off. We went on to the pub, joined by Allan and (Goth) Tom. This was largely uneventful, so after a brief stint in public we returned to Drew's for Call of Duty. Firstly Nazi Zombies was played, with a rule in place where we must not leave the initial room. Me and Darroch achieved level 5 which isn't actually too bad considering the hardened veterans of Drew and Allan only managed level 8. This was followed by a deathmatch which I played against Drew, leading to me being slaughtered. A fun evening capped off with a lift home in the Brattmobile, avoiding walking home in the disgracefully damp, thick mist that seems to have settled over Drumnadrochit today.

I would like to post a rectracton for my comments last night referring to The Highland Foodstop. My review implied that my coffee's bitter, unrefined taste was due to mechanical flaw or costcutting points having been made. The barista however contacted me, informing me that the machine was brand new and the coffee beans were freshly crushed for my drink. So I apologise to the management of the establishment, and pass on my criticisms to a lack of skill and technique demonstrated by James Redmond. My review of the cafe now stands at 7/10, calculated as an average from the following; Decor: 10/10; Service: 10/10; Food: 10/10; James: negative 2/10.
