Miracle on Urquhart Street.

As I start writing this post I realise I am two minutes too late to have succesfully continued the Utada Hikaru 10 day blog challenge. I guess we're going to have to count waking hours.
My day was sort of interrupted by a four hour work shift which I was suddenly informed I could (and should) do by a wake up phone call at about half ten this(i.e yesterday) morning. obligingly I said yes as I had nothing better to do other than the previously eponymous pretending to work and I also needed the money. So a day working then. Fun.
Actually it was rather frustrating as the retail store I work at had one of it's bi-weekly deliveries and the delivery man proved to be utterly inept:

1) Turns up 25 minutes late after getting lost
2) Takes about 15 minutes to unload the first pallet off his lorry because he can't seem to solve the simple block puzzle that is his packing plan.
3) Takes a further 10 minutes to work out the incredibly simple problem that is getting the pallet into the lift.
4) Seems to forget how to use the lift in strange and hard to explain ways. Suffice to say I was annoyed.
5) Gets in our way as we try to unload the pallets in a sort of "I'm late and you're slow" gesture.
6) Doesn't even carbon copy my signatures to his form 2 hours after the delivery was supposed to have begun. (We only had 4 pallets...)

But hey it ate up most of my shift.

In other news I discovered this evening that you haven't really heard a song until you've listened to it through high quality earphones, at night, walking down empty streets. This experience was enlightening enough for me to change my mind about what my favourite song is at the moment. (For those familiar with Utada Hikaru [yes, her again] I'm switching from Sakura Drops to Passion [SHOCK])

And I guess that'll do for now. More later today (or perhaps tomorrow again...).

EDIT: This blog hasn't changed to BST, hah hah! According to it, I'm still within the challenge times!
