I am, it's true. I was having issues with work, but I spoke to the manager today and I feel so much better, and had a fun day in the end. It was ram packed in the shop too. Now, I get Sunday with Gary and I'm going to make the most of it.  

It's raining again on my day off. Still Gary's going to come over and see me soon and all will be fine ( Read more... )

So, I worked Monday to Friday this week. Two nights I worked late night on my own, which meant closing up shop on my own two nights in a row for the first time. First night I almost crapped my pants. But after calling one of the supervisors she helped me out a bit, and basically saved my bacon. The second night, I was so relaxed with it all, I got ( Read more... )

I worked Saturday, and had a really rather good day. It was very quiet in the shop, in fact, due to the lovely weather. My manager called me into the office to chat about my progress so far, and told me he was very pleased with hiring me, which is always good to hear! I needed feedback too, just so that I knew how I was getting on. It helped me ( Read more... )

It's St George's Day today. We don't do anything in England at all - they put up a flag somewhere I think..... I guess St Patrick's Day is another excuse to get plastered, and George's is just slaying Dragons.....

So the other day this guy comes into the shop, and wants to return something with his wife. And as part of returns, we have to ask what ( Read more... )

So I've been at my new job a week now. And I'm enjoying it. I think. I'm just taking longer than I thought to settle in. I'm learning fast in some aspects and slow in others. I can't do everything yet because HO haven't given my till code authorisation yet, so I keep having to ask other people to do stuff for me which is annoying. Not sure I've ( Read more... )

Today, for the first time in 2 and 1/2 years, I took the bus. And I was very pleasantly surprised. The bus was on time, to the minute. Big and clean and the bus driver was friendly. £1.50 was rather dear though ( Read more... )

So, as you know, I started to feel a little (a lot) ill on Saturday, and by Sunday I felt like I was dying. I'm not too fussed with colds, they annoy me but I can get on with it, but when I'm so achey I can barely lift my arms, then there's a problem. I slept and rested all most of Saturday and all Sunday, until Gary took me to Mum's and then I ( Read more... )
