Sometimes you can be having a bit of a bad day and something unexpected happens which makes it much more agreeable, usually it's some little thing like finding an only just started tube of Pringles in the van that someone had left so I could munch and crunch all day, but sometimes it's a bit better.
Last Friday I went to put some petrol in and I have a pre pay debit card so I put £10 on it, and put £8 worth in. Very occasionally it doesn't immediately update and this was one, the thing rejected. I apologised and said that I would go to a cashpoint and get a tenner out, then form behind me in the queue "don't worry, I'll get it" I turned round and a rather glamourous girl, who looked a bit like a WAG type covered it. I offered to go and pay her back, but she wouldn't let me "it's fine, it's only eight quid"
What a star

Sometimes you can be having a bit of a bad day and something unexpected happens which makes it much more agreeable The only thing I can offer is a couple of months into the Millennium I was at a pop quiz at the local and said to a woman on our team, "Wish me luck, I'm taking the plunge tomorrow and going on my first internet dating site date". The date was an absolute disaster - we didn't gel and never contacted each other again. Pub quiz lady phoned me up that evening to ask how it went and offered me a day out in the Lake District the next day to cheer me up. We're still together 22 years later. That was a pretty good day.  If the above sounds soppy, I'll counteract with this one. Whenever I leave the house for work and forget my lunch, a colleague always seems to have a 6th sense and brings in a curry from home for me.  |
