Work, work, work...
What did I come on here to write? I seriously have the short-term memory of a fish (or maybe worse) Well it's probably work-related. Sad, huh?
Um...Mandasue Heller came in to do a book signing today. She writes crime novels, though I've never read any. I think I might have said to Raye 'there's people to interview, y'know, that book signing woman', or something along those lines, while Mandasue was standing right there ^^; It's not my fault, I kept forgetting her name. Martina Cole was apparently also there, and I have actually heard of her, lol. She's good friends with Mandasue, 'apparently, lol.
Also, when Mandasue came, someone from the publishers of Alan Titchmarsh's books turned up and told us we had to take his latest book down. Apparently, the book's not out 'til the 16th and should have been embargoed, but some dolt within Smiths didn't put it on the embargoed list. So who had to run around like a headless chicken pulling all the books off the shevles? Well moi, of course. I then had to find random books to put in the gaps, oh the joy.
I also got stuck holding the fort at the customer service desk for the last hour and a half of my shift, again. I wouldn't mind, but I still haven't been told how to do orders or even about answering the phone. How am I meant to single-handedly run the customer service desk with no customer service desk training? *sigh*
Other that that, work was okay. I'm so glad it's nearly the weekend again though. You really really appreciate your freetime once you start working fulltime. I absolutely cannot wait for NYC!! 2 weeks today 'til I go!! :DDD
Gonna try and write some fic for an hour and then sleep :)
