It's a hellish double shift at Epicycle, so bad that you and Udolpho share a sense of camaraderie over the whole ordeal: a supplier insists on dropping off the monthly inventory of the huge bike place across the bridge in Hadley, the place where you bought your own bike at Epicycle. First, the truck nearly gets stuck under the town's truck-eating bridge, then the driver refuses to get out of Epicycle's tiny parking lot. And when you, and then Udolpho, call the supplier, the lady on the other end of the phone insists that the bikes (more bikes than can physically fit in the building) are for you.
The other store is furious at the supplier (fair), Epicycle (unfair), and you, personally, Mister December (entirely unfair!). The whole sorry show drags on, literally, from 10 AM to 8 PM, with everyone making calls to everyone else, trying to get in touch with the supplier's corporate headquarters in Luxembourg. You finally get through to the boss's boss's boss, a fucking literal baron, after his krav maga session. However, the baron is delighted to make some phone calls, and finally, well after you were supposed to go home, the truck rolls out of your parking lot, heading for Hadley. It immediately gets stuck under the truck-eating bridge, but that's not your problem.
