Today I don't want to talk about work. I work 24 hours a week, I am not a manager, just a mere cashier so I have no responsibilities, and yet I spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about work.

No, not worrying, obsessing. I have an obssessive personality and I tend to obssess about work. I did it in London I am doing it now. The difference ( Read more... )

 First day I managed to keep most of my resolutions. I even managed to smile at work. I think I looked a bit constipated because I am not used to it, but at least I tried.

Work was chaos. The new games we introduced are a resounding success, but the Boss doean't want to give us enough staff to deal with it properly. The customers complain, we ( Read more... )

 I usually don't do them, because I am crap at keeping my resolutions from one day to the other , imagine keeping them for an entire year. Anyway here's the list:

1) Keep on with my diet. This one is relatively easy. I have gained these festivities, but less than I thought, so I can easily ( hopefully) slip back into my rhythm and loose the last ( Read more... )

In the end I got the Christmas bouns. And 4 days off for Christmas, including Christmas eve, Christmas day and Boxing day. I am back to work on friday.

Sunday I was very serene, yesterday too, but this morning I woke up a bit cranky. So now I am watching hockey and trying to think deep thoughts for Christmas.

Christmas is always been there for me. I ( Read more... )

 We lost enough customers to put in doubt our Christmas bonus. And that's a problem because I need it.Taxes and repairs (I had to call the plumber for the kitchen sink and I had to take my laptop to repair) mean money going out like a water leak.

The good part is that the taxes aren't all that high and there are no added taxes to my rent, but it ( Read more... )

 I am having a  mild panic attack. It's mostly work related (OMG if I loose this job what i am going to do?), but there's also some underlining sadness.

And to say that the day had started well, with me managing the first part of the winter clothes exchange (I have so many pair of pants and jeans that's not funny. I hope that at least some will ( Read more... )

 I knew that the Flyers Vs penguins game was on wednesday so this morning I got up and went to the penguins website to find out how did the match go.

I was surprise i couldn't find the result and looked everywhere until i realised that today is Wednesday andmaybe there weren't any results because they still have to play. Go Penguins go!

 Yeah I know i have lost even before starting, but I'll try again this posting everyday thing next month. There is always a next month.

The important thing about next month is that they pay me the tredicesima, that is an extra month of salary that's given to people in Italy every december.

Things are going better at work, but not that well and we ( Read more... )

 Yesterday I was supposed to be at home, but they called me in because The father of one of my colleagues had a bad car accident.

This means thta from here to my next break it will be 11 consecutive days I have worked. And still I don't know if he will be back by then.

Last night and this morning I didn't sleep well. I had baddreams. Not nightmares, ( Read more... )

 Yesterday I was definitely out of it, that's my excuse. A morning shift like a nightmare, It nearly made me loose my patience. Nearly I say. I have been good. But the fact is: we have customers, we have work, why our boss keeps cutting shifts? He has to pay us for the hours we have on our contract, whenever we do them.

Oh well, that's his problem. ( Read more... )
