Work today was a day of extremes; I was either raging at small grievances or ridiculously excited and running around trying to win an incentive that was set; I backed off when I discovered the 150 pounds of vouchers up for grabs were in fact for Marks and Spencers. I don't believe I have ever bought anything from that shop so have no idea how I would spend 150 pounds there. Although it was very busy for the first half of my day, the evening was dead. This lead to us debating on music after my commandeering of the store system to play classic rock. Everyone was moaning that "my music" was playing until it was discovered that "my music" included songs that suited everyone. Another debate was had about iPhones; the basis of the debate was me arguing that they are highly overrated and inferior technology to many other smartphones, backed up by a couple of people. The opposing team, also known as the wrong side, were rabid iPhone owners, probably just angry because they're trying to pay off the mortgage they took out to afford one. I also heard beautiful news today that a vast number of iPads may be recalled due to poor quality wi-fi antennas meaning many people are unable to achieve an internet connection. Also I read reports that they are clunky and tend to crash if you have more than one app running. I accept that it is arrogant but the possibility of me being right brings me untold joy.
This evening I got home at five to nine then watched a three hour show about movie mistakes. It was hosted by Robert Webb, whose every sentence was filled with sarcasm. It did last a very long time but some of the mistakes they showed were hilarious. My favourite was the opening of Jurassic Park where a man falls off of the crate towards the camera, where a cameraman's hand reaches in front of the lens to break his fall, guiding him away from the expensive equipment. This somehow made it into the final cut. The program featured hundreds of clips like this, which I found extremely entertaining. I understand this is highly geeky but oh well.
I'mm pretty miffed just now because it is late (a.k.a very early in the morning) and I have work tomorrow; I acknowledge that I am very tired but I seem unable to sleep. Hello there, insomnia, haven't seen you for a while.
