EXIT LIGHT!
This morning I got the bus for town as usual, heading to work. In a half awake state I was completely oblivious to the fact that I sat in the adjacent seat to Darroch. After a few seconds of him alerting me to his presence I discovered that he was heading to exeter for his cousins birthday. While exeter isn't at the summit on my theoretical list of "places I someday want to go", it should be limitless banter for a couple of days just for the realisation that it is not Drum. Elle then joined us on the bus and we decided to go to the little French cafe opposite eastgate. It was a really nice start to the day in extremely agreeable company. Once this was finished I had to run off to get a taxi to work, walking through the doors bang on the minute my shift started. It was my last day at the big store which meant periodic goodbyes and well wishes from the awesome people I work with; I'll undoubtedly miss them but I won't miss the store or the job one bit. Just have to see what the high street is like. A large bit of banter was had with Gavin where we considered Mr. Hetfield of metallica, whenever switching off a light, screaming at full power "EXIT LIGHT!", and placing that into everyday moments such as putting his kids to bed or getting into bed with his wife. I digress. In addition to the goodbyes the deputy took it upon himself to give me a load of ridiculous tasks by the end of the day. I'm not sure what the psychology behind this was but it certainly quelled any second thoughts brewing in the back of my mind about leaving. Come 8 o clock I was glad to be going. Song of the day today is System Addict by Five Star. This signals that I have gone really deep into my 80's revival. It's the type of music that's totally unacceptable for any other era but everything about it is somehow awesome in its genuine, unforced retro sound. Because there's nothing I hate more that false "retro" attempts. Well, 50 cent and all the other smug modern rappers I guess, but that's another story.
