Driver; the 80's, please.

Today was really pretty dull with a strong hint of disgruntledness. It started off amazingly as, since I was on a late start, I spent the morning playing assassin's creed 2. I've got back into it and I love it again. Eventually i headed off to the bus which turned out to be not just citylink, but the expensive citylink. Therefore it was the expensive expensive bus: £7.70 for a single from drum to town. Horrific. It was late which meant I also had to get a taxi from town to work. Once there it was like yesterday, with hardly any staff but things went mostly smoother, the main flaw in the system today being that the much-mentioned deputy was in charge today. Enough said. Once five o clock came round there was very few of us on the shop floor until 8 and even fewer customers. For some reason terrible dance music was playing in the store too so I called enough was enough and got my ipod, starting up a mix of various 80's electronic music before playing the entire 1986 transformers movie soundtrack. It was amazing and it apparently did well because in the last hour or so we did quite a lot of sales. It's been a pretty dull day really, but the downbeat day at work has made me pretty glad to be moving to the high street. Song of the day is borne of the 80's craze I had today. It was mostly triggered by a new DAB station I found at work: Absolute 80's. It obviously plays 80's music but the major selling point for me was the every-20-minutes traffic report was the usual fare of a bored sounding reporter informing what motorways are shut, except this one has a backing of really cheesy upbeat 80's synth. I almost cried with joy the first time it came on. So song of the day is one that played on this station and also featured in my mix: joy division - love will tear us apart. It's a really good song is all I can say. I just want to go back to the 80's really. Knowing what I know about modern day I'm pretty sure id love it. Definitely living in the wrong era.
