There’s beauty in the breakdown

Back when I first commented on Si’s similarly titled blog post I was unaware of the where the title of the post was taken from. Since then I have become familiar with the details of Details which enjoyed an extended residency in my car stereo.
I must agree however that I do not share the affection found in breakdowns particularly when they are mechanical rather than metaphorical.
This was brought to light on Friday night when the freezer at work broke down. At 12:30am. As such myself, Danny and Neil spent the next few hours shifting several thousands of pounds worth of stock to a different store.
Having already done my usual day at Open Door this wasn’t exactly what I needed at this time of the night though we got off a litter easier than Rich who was there shifting stock back once it was up and running again until 7 am (though to be fair his day still wasn’t as long as mine).
