(no subject)
I can't believe how different this morning was compared to last saturday, even though i did basically the same thing. Last week, I did my papers like i would any saturday, and Mrs Johnston came out and asked me if i had her Woman's Weekly magazine. evidently i didnt or i would already have stuck it through her door, although i knew she hadnt got it this week, cos it hadnt been on my round sheet to deliver, and she told me how she'd phoned the shop like 3 times to try and get it delivered, but every time, even though the person on the other end of the phone had said it would be sent up with the next round that went out that way, she still hadnt got it, and like 5 rounds had gone without including her magazine. So i did what any sensible, vaguely caring human being would do and i offered to go back to the shop when id finished my round and bring it up for her, if she phoned the shop to let them know i was coming to get it, so they could find one for me. So at the next house, Mrs Terry came out and asked where her Radio Times was, and it was pretty much the same situation. Totally not my fault you understand, and i think it was mostly confusion in the shop because we had a new manager (Pat, he's great, he's always smiling) and all this stuff, so long story short i offered to get hers for her too, since id be going that way anyway. So i did the rest of my papers and zoomed down to the shop, because id been longer than i said i would, and i went in and found Pat and he was all like "Katie, you're a star!" and i was like "It's just common sense, its not that far from my round to come back here again." Then he gave me some random hand held computer game thingy as a present, and the magazines and i went and took them back up, and Mrs Johnston came out again and gave me a bar of chocolate, and i was all like, you don't have to, it was no bother, but she insisted. So that was all good, and i gave the game to Andrew, because he'd appreciate it more than me, and i gave the chocolate to Peter, because he hadnt had enough money to buy his daily bar of chocolate and was rather upset about it. So i felt all good about myself, and thoroughly encouraged to be nice to people all the time because it makes me so happy.
Then today, Neil was back in the shop (the old manager) and he doesnt smile at all, and it was rather depressing and i miss Pat. So i did my papers, and none of my old ladies came out to talk to me :( but that was ok i guess because i gave them their magazines earlier in the week when they were meant to get them. But it was just such a contrast, because im not cheerful this week, especially since i had to tidy my room when i got home.
Im going to see Calum today!! finally!! we're going to see the longest yard, because someone recommended it to me, but i cant remember who. Whatever. I'm quite excited though.
Then tomorrow, I have church in the morning, as usual, and i have Gang Show rehearsals in the afternoon, which should be fun. Graeme(Higgy) is giving me photoshop!! yay!! i can make decent icons, finally! I'm quite excited. Then in the evening I'm going to my YF, which should be good. dunno what we're doing this week, possibly something to do with us walking to Tanzinia, but who knows. I'll tell you on Monday, since i wont have time to update tomorrow.
See you all around,
Katie
