On my 17th birthday i was a hurried mess of stickiness. The sunlight was cooking my business clothing and i was late to my first day of work experience. I had a flurry of new songs on my phone to fill the train trip and i'd called ahead to warn the company of my delay.
When i finally arrived i was sent to do busy work such as copying and pasting twitter bios into a word document with a bunch of middle aged office workers. They were charming and fun to be around but they weren't the jetsetting young people I was expecting when i signed up. I returned from my day disgruntled and sticky, roasted and certainly not in the mood for a fancy meal out.
Dad finally talked sense into me and we decided to go to a little italian place for a small meal and conversation. What we didn't realise is that it was band night in the local pizza place! Middle aged performers (dubbed "the mid life crisis" by my family) were playing easy listening next to us on a speaker the size of a small table! We ended up communicating via shouts and the notes app on dad's phone, laughing our heads off at how ironic the situation was and how suprisingly in tune the band was. To be honest it made my night go from a 4 to an 8.
The pizza was excellent to the point where I was moved to compliment the chef and I dont think I've laughed that hard in a long time!
