MORE CAFFEINE!

Today turned out to be a rather odd day. It started off disappealingly as I was completely zombified where i usually snap out of it after half an hour or so, it lingered. So I went to Costa and had a large amount of caffeine. Coupled with another large dose on my break I ended up spending the afternoon feeling like I was going to die at any moment: I was still extremely tired but the caffeine had given the effect of a very artificial hyperness which made my mind and body try and work three times its usual rate but falling over itself due to the physical tiredness. It was unpleasant but it helped me defeat a bizarre customer: she bought a radio for £20. Not exactly sale of the week, but obviously I was being polite and all that. I offered her a bag and after a period of ficklety as to whether or not it was required she decided "yes, ill have a bag." So I packed her radio into a suitable sized bag. Her reaction was that of disbelieving, amused disgust: the sort of time someone snootily laughs at something so outrageously disgraceful. I was at first bemused, as she said "oh my. I won't bother if that's all I get." I still didn't quite follow and she continued "you'd think, spending all that money, i'd get more than THAT." as she unpacked the radio and started storming out. My hyper mind went into overdrive fury, reacting with venemous sarcasm, shouting after "no, you can have any bag you like, here, even one this big" as I pulled out a massive bag large enough to hold a number of laptops, let alone a radio. By this time she had already left but I was pleased with my diplomatic handling of the situation... After work I met a couple of guys who were a few years below me in school and started college today. I can't remember their names but they're sound. A little way along the bus came to a halt where I looked ahead to see a stream of stationary cars, headed by a smashed up car that had literally minutes before hit the verge and rolled. As for the rest of the blog, my phone deleted it again and I'm far too angry to retype it. The driver was apparently fine, walking away after being freed. Song of the day is the buffy the vampire slayer because I've started watching the last season and was reminded how awesome the theme is.
