INTO THE BLENDER!

Last night was horrific; I laid awake with panic attacks for no reason for most of the night. Due to this I woke up at 9:15 to find that I had managed to dress myself and get on the bus whilst in some sort of comatose state. Walking to work I was confused to find that it was really sunny but incredibly cold. On my arrival, a strong coffee was very much welcome.

Work started off very badly; it was brought to my attention by someone sensible that what I had spent most of the last week doing to my camera section under instructions from someone else, albeit less sensible, was completely wrong and would have to be redone. I was pretty gutted about this as I had put a lot of work into what I'd done and today is well-known as being a really busy day in retail, so I had to spend a couple of hours slogging away at my section again rather than serving customers. However, rant over, I was fairly fortunate that it wasn't particularly busy until I had done what was required, so I ended up near the top of sales for the day in the end. It seems to be becoming a daily occurance that I witness someone moaning that really sticks out in my mind; today's was a lady I helped look at TV's. She had a good idea of what she wanted and I showed her one that fit this description. She liked it and asked the immortal question "What's the best price you can do on that?". Upon my explanation that I was unable to offer any more that the 200 pounds that is curently taken off of it in the easter sale, she instantaneously turned from friendly and cheery to stroppy and condescending, informing me that she was "very disappointed" with her service and stormed out in a mood. It is times like this that I really wonder what people expect of me; I guess it's just part of the job of being a salesman that I agree to being considered as the lowest form of human life, to be treated with the utmost contempt. Ah well, never mind. At least I'm getting paid for it.

After work I was getting a lift home from Jonathan along with Gavin, who decided to go to B&Q. This was an odd trip, an oddness heightened by Gavin's presence and his negative banter. Having said this, he is an incredible human being and I shall hear nothing against him. Moving on to Tesco, I discovered a drink made from rice, which turned out to be much nicer than it sounds.

The day ended well, as I watched Jonathan Ross and Heston Blumenthal; two "celebrities" I really like; throwing liquid nitrogen at each other, proving that there is no need to ever properly "grow up" and become a boring sod.

I'm pleased the day ended up going well, and tomorrow is set to be another really busy day at work, so with my tasks accomplished correctly this time, I should have another good day tomorrow. Even if work goes badly I've just booked tickets for Clash of the Titans 3D; cannot wait for it; I have been following the making since around 2008. I think it looks great while Jonathan's review of the trailer was "gay".
