Well, I made it into work for 10, so it wasn't too bad, especially cos when I did the payroll I found out I only needed to do 4 1/2 hours work! This was even after my 1 1/2 hour lunch break on Friday - I went to the pub with the store trainer a K for a goodbye lunch ( Read more... )

I just had my leaving party, we had it a week early because today is payday, and because I'm hopefully at Infest next weekend. It was an ace night, lots of good music in the Hatchet, lots of crap music, but good dancing in Ramshackle. Unfortuanately about 20 minutes ago I realised that I'm supposed to be in work by 8, and that going home might be a ( Read more... )

The boss is moving to a new job next Friday!! I will be in charge until we get a replacement, and she spent this afternoon telling me all the ways I will mess it up if I'm not careful. Like I care!

Well, I've just lived up to my new boss's distrust of my capabilities. The one thing that wasn't on the 'Urgent To Do' list that she left me yesterday I didn't do! I forgot to bag up the colleague feedback forms and leave them at the kiosk. If the courier has been, we could get a score of zero, which would make my life not worth living ( Read more... )

This morning I had to ask one of our new starters to leave, and not come back until his visa is sorted. Its really odd, I've sacked 4 or 5 people since I started, but they were all for not turning up for weeks. This is the first time I've had to do it face to face.
