Insert meaningful title about new beginnings.

Today I woke up really anxious about starting at the high street. As is natural to me I was assuming the very worst scenario would happen where it was horrible and I will hate it many times more than the big store. Thankfully I was wrong and as soon as I started I realised it was a much more laid back environment to work in, and a much higher morale. I had a good day, getting to know the people working there; all of whom were sound. Once the day came to an end I was safe in the belief that transferring was a good decision. It was extremely cool to get a phonecall from the big store where a couple of people asked how everything was going, further proving my notion that the only really good thing about my previous job was the people. After work I met Davie on the bus who I have not spoken to for ages, so it was a good catch up. a major conversation point was music, especially discussing how Lady Gaga has become extremely tedious with her meaningless blatant controversy hounding, most obvious in the Alejandro video: there's no point to the imagery present beyond the immature notion of "ooh, theyre dancing around a CROSS" etc. Also I discovered I really badly want to try out the beats by Dr dre headphones: apparently they are amazing. I remain sceptical until it is proven to me. On getting off the bus I met Danny who only yesterday got back from his jolly around America. He apparently had a good time which I'm really pleased about and he's currently an abnormal-for-a-british-person shade of brown suggesting the weather also was good. Much better day that I feared, possibly even better than I hoped. Song of the day is Bridges Will Burn by Iron Fire. It's got an extremely irritating intro but it becomes something unlike any bands I've heard for reasons I can't quite place. Come the second half its got a really original, effortless power that really surprised me on hearing it this morning.
