Heartburn? (o_O)
It is 00:12 in the morning here in Oz so it means it's Christmas already xD
Merry Christmas 03 Everyone!!
Hope everyone is having a great Xmas day :)
Anyway, I want to write about what I did on Xmas eve.
I went to work again (3rd day today) from 11 to 4pm.
Yesterday I was on the till :) That's actually good fun as long as you know what buttons to press on the computer screen (it's touch screen register). It did take a while to get used to it.
I was mostly on the till again today. I must tell you it's actually pretty scary handling money.... The thing I'm most scared of is giving customers the wrong change. It happened today.. argghhh.... and she wasn't happy about it - $5 short, of course she wouldn't be happy about it :~( What happened was that the till was short on $20 notes, so I asked one of the senior girls to go get some. I was serving this lady customer when the girl was filling in the till with $20 notes I requested (FYI, there is only one till - so it was rather crowded there near the till). I guess I must've lost my concentration and short-changed the lady customer :( I felt terrible. Must be veeerryyyy careful next time.
I had breakfast at 10.30am today, a big breakfast because I know that I wouldn't have a break until the end of my shift at 4pm. At around 3pm I was so hungry, it turned into stomachache :(
The manager asked me if I could stay up to 5pm instead, I told him I was hungry.... hahaha ;P~ so I only stayed til 4pm. I went round the front and got a sandwich - free of charge. I just found out yesterday that employee from our store can get sandwiches for free xD. I wasn't sure last time because it is not stated in the employee handbook. Friends and family still have to pay though.
After I ate, I had to go to the supermarket to buy cheese for the crab quiche I'm planning to make on Xmas day (coz I forgot to buy it yesterday). Boy the supermarket was soooo crowded! Ppl doing last minute shopping, the que to the register was long. A weird thing happened to me while I was in the supermarket, I felt this very painful thing on my chest... it was like I have something really heavy on my chest squashing me. I don't know what it was, I never felt like that before - I was thinking, "am I having a heart attack or something???" I was telling myself please don't collapse on the floor.... hahaha It was so stupid, I was too extreme :P~
I was still feeling that painful thing on my chest when I was walking home... suddenly I felt like I want to vomit... it was bad... :( My mouth felt salty. So I stopped walking and sat down on the bus stop for a few minutes til the feeling of wanting to vomit disappeared.
When I got home I just sat down some more til I felt better.
That was just the weirdest thing.....
I called up hubby later on in the evening after I made chocolate dipped strawberries (to bring to Kim's place on Xmas day). I told him what happened, he told me it might be heartburn.....?
Is it really? So that's what heartburn feels like.......?
I've seen Mylanta ad (antacid tablets) on TV and was always wondering what the heck heartburn is. Now I know (that is if what I had really was heartburn).
