I'm sorry sir, you were served by a moron.

This morning I had another early start at work. The first hour was pretty fraught with trying to negotiate colleagues having not done certain things correctly, leaving us to figure out what was happening whilst an increasingly angry customer leers at the cash desk. I don't blame the customers; it's ridiculous sometimes; but the ones that get really angry invariably blame me when all I'm trying to do is solve the clues dotted around as to what the hell has been done the day before.

After this little while the day went pretty smoothly with all my customers being great, and I got some decent sales. There was a big argument with a colleague, the first since I've worked there, as I try to be fairly friendly to everyone, avoiding those I don't particularly like until they speak to me, where I act civil. However, this person has really bugged me recently and they took it slightly too far. It's not an anti-anti-england rant again; it was about a whole different matter. Ah well, it's not a great loss. Move on and get over it?.. complete.

This evening I watched the Japan v. Denmark game. After my rekindled love of Japan which continued throughout today I was rooting for them, but not very hopeful. However, they were awesome. They didn't play amazingly, but they were awesome. Honda's first goal was incredible.

Pretty uneventful day really, but I've got three days off now and am delighted at this.

Song of the day is a song I rediscovered this evening. It's "They" by Jem. Wikipedia informs me it was released in 2005; I remember thinking how odd a song it was back then and it still is. It was mildly popular 'back in the day' and Jem completely disappeared as far as I'm aware, but I heard it again on the Pantenne advert a few months ago and every time I remembered the song so well but couldn't find it a name. Eventually I remembered some lyrics from it and google did the rest. Pretty cool song; dreamy and catchy; win win for me.
