This week has just gone like neeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooowwwwng. Its a bit mad. It only feels like yesterday that it was sunday and I was being a legend. But it was like nearly a whole week ago o_O Must be because everyday at work is like OMFGCHRISTMASONEINFRONTCALLTHEDUTYWTFMYAAAAHHHH. Just like that. I'm liking my random noises and stuff today, incase you couldn't tell. I really need to do some Christmas shopping I'm getting all like *twitch* about it now. If everyone could just have money or coal this would be a lot better for me.
Today was, annoying, then worrying, then annoying again, then a bit more annoying and now its sleepy. I got up early so I could be in work early and be like proper like on the ball and shite but after spending 10 minutes defrosting my car or whatever the fuck it is I goes to turn the ignition key and it does fuck all. What a useless crock of shit. Turns out the battery was absolutely fucked, unlike me, the bastard.
Then it was worrying because when I eventually did get to work, courtesy of James's lovely mam, half of my staff were not coming in. It was like what the fuck? When I got in, from the off one person just hadn't bothered to turn up, then two people were off sick, then another person phoned in because she'd been at the police station all night, then someone came in for the wrong shift and then we got another sick call for tonight. Thats on top of the other two sick calls we had rolled over from friday. So it was like OMFGWTFAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. But we like adjusted hours and ran round like fucking lunatics for a bit and then somehow at 11 I ended up with 23 checkouts on, thats like nearly all of them. And as a Brucey bonus it was quiet to so it was like win! When I left we had overinvested all day and we were on +78 I think. I really really hope they keep that because if not its pretty much all going to hang on me passing tomorrow. No pressure or anything just passing the whole week is pinned on passing the one in front on sunday which is notoriously difficult and will probably be very very busy because there was noone in shopping today.
So here is hoping that there is at least some cushion for tomorrow. We have practically none from the rest of the week so tomorrow its going to be stressful, even more stressful than usual. I really don't want it all to be left down to me, unless of course it is and we pass then I can be like yes I single handedly passed the week for us, money please.
Oh I forgot to mention the other day that I'm going to be the key master over Christmas. How good is that. Well it might not be good if someone suddenly decides that on Christmas day/boxing day they have nothing better to do than go over Tesco and set the alarms off. Basically I get extra money for having a key to the store and going over if there is any problems. With any luck there wont be.
I can't wait till next friday for a day off. As for my life outside of work? Yeah, its on hold at the moment. I'm pretty much just focusing solidly on work and getting over the Christmas and New Year period for the next month or so. And after work I'm generally too tired or stressed to do anything. I mean these last couple of days I've just come home and wanted to collapse and its only going to get like more extreme as it gets nearer Christmas. I reckon next week is going to be busy.
So thats me right now really. Haven't even thought of Christmas other than how its going to affect work and feeling too tired to be festive but hey.
