yesssss  
I slept! Not enough to catch up, but I slept. Probably something approaching a normal night, too. So that was... walking, cycling, showering at night, and watching a movie. And going to bed to start reading at about nine.

In other news, now I need to go find out what the clocks in the walls are meant to be so I know what the deal is with the TItan Clocks, dsfhjaskd.

I should start rereading those soon. Six weeks or fewer until it's out and all.

The curse of interesting times.  
Today was full of small ridiculous things that, combined, threatened to make me sit down in a corner and laugh hysterically/cry.

THE IRONING BOARD
WOMAN: I had an ironing board on order and the girl promised it was over a metre high, but it's only 96cm.
ME: PHONE BOOKS. HAVE YOU GOT SOME? I'm so sorry. I'll try to find a different one for you.
SUNBEAM: Chyeah, good luck with that.
TEFAL: Uhhh, no.
HILLS: Not a chance.
ME: Well, shit. ...phone books?

THE FRIDGES
MAN: I want these fridges, but I need them to open from the right.
ME: No worries. Let me find out how much the kits are. Guys, how much are the kits?
GUYS: What? Does it look like we're in that section?
ME: ...you are in there every other day. I have a customer on the phone who wants TWO fridges. How much are the kits?
GUYS: I'unno.
ME: .........................sir, my coworkers are unhelpful shits. I will just call my rep and get back to you in ten minutes.
MAN: You are a goddess and I will not even hassle you about free delivery.
ME: Aww, shucks.

THE FILTER
MAN: I need a new one of these. It's all CLOGGED.
ME: *stares at filthy group head filter* ...yyyes, you do, but you'll have to get in touch with the manufacturer.
MAN: What? You don't sell them here?
ME: Well, no, because you see, if you CLEAN them, you don't NEED to replace them. Er, no. But because clearly you are ready to be an asshole about this I am calling them for you right now! See! No hassle!
SUNBEAM: He wants a what?
ME: I know.
SUNBEAM: It will take a week if you order it right now.
ME: So if you'd like to order one, sir--
MAN: UGH. FORGET IT. I WILL KEEP LOOKING.
ME: Well, have fun on your endless and impossible quest, sir, and have a very nice day.

THE MICROWAVE
CHARLOTTE: Er, do you know the litre capacity of this microwave.
ME: Is it not in the system? Not on the box? Let's call Sharp!
SHARP: Hello?
ME: Hello, it is me, listen, this R350LS - what's the litrage, there?
SHARP: Well, we don't measure in litres because if you fill a microwave with water it will all run out the holes.

DIRECT QUOTE. :|

On the bright side, new U2 album. But seriously, after that last phone call, I shrieked. I just. Shrieked. At my boss's wife. "WHO FILLS A MICROWAVE WITH WATER???????????" *thrash* *flail* *collapse*
AMANDA: What?
ME: EXACTLY.

Also I left The Bone Key in my drawer. That about sums up the day.
