To drum or to telescope, that is the question

I have an abundance of hobbies calling for my attention, and precious little time in which to pleasure them all. I think tonight may be a sitting-in-the-garage-with-drumsticks-in-hand kind of evening. At work today I ended up accidentally watching a YouTube video about great solo performances by well-known drummers, so I’m feeling a little inspired. I am also hoping to avoid another full evening of ‘what else can we decorate before the baby arrives?’ with Philippa.

I have managed to avoid any early-onset Christmas trimmings at work, but there is an insistence from Those Above that we have a whole stack of advent calendars on the counter for the little ones to pester their parents for when they come in to pay for their petrol. Why we can’t just send them over the road to the superstore is beyond me, but there you go. It’s company policy, after all, to notice every possible merchandising opportunity and ram it as far down the customers throats as can be achieved without losing your fingers or choking them. Who am I to rise above and go against?

I’m quite excited by it all this year, to be honest. Having the chance to drive around between the locations and see the different approaches to December is nicer than being stuck in my office or out on one forecourt.

Little changes please little minds, you see.

And if anyone from Head Office is reading this – I was watching the video in my lunch break.
