Errr

I feel better today. Yay. Still not great but better than yesterday.

Haven't really done much today except work. I started watching Madagascar but started doing something else so yeah.

Work was quite crappy. It was really busy and stuff so yeah. Sues back, she went to America for like 2 weeks or something. I was stood by the podium and she was like "Naooooomi" in an overly cheery voice. She was just too happy to be back at work.

There's a really odd blokey who keeps coming to my till. He's nice and stuff just abit odd. Yeah.

I'm getting a Lotto promo tee. Nila told me, she said that beause I do kiosk she's getting me one too, you know even though I'm not a proper kiosk person. I bet none of the people who aren't contracted kiosk don't get one, coz I'm special. Yeeeeep. Lol.

I really need to pay the rest of my meal coz otherwise I won't be allowed to go, you know even though I prolly won't eat half of the food. I'm just going to get drunk and be the fool. I feel so sorry for all the other people in there, it's only a small place and there's going to be 36 of us and alcohol and rude presents. I need to get my ticket of the oparty as well. Blah.

I don't have work till 3 tomorrow. I need to tidy my room and stuff I think, it's getting a bit messy.

I really can't think of anythiong left to say.

  • Went shopping this morning, I brought Madagascar, I wanted one with the activity set but they didn't have any : (
  • Went to work.
  • Anita kept asking how I was coz I've not been all cheery and stuff.
  • Me and Racheal were talking about last night and Saturday and stuff and how the managers really mess stuff up. Once again seemed abit unhappy about the fact that I won't be in on Friday.
  • Anita shut me down at eight on the dot. I was the only one. She told me to go home and get some sleep so that I'd feel better.
  • A stone fell out f my ring too. Not happy. So yeah. Great.

Annoyed at Aidrien again. 5 hours without a break. Not amused. He said he'd make it up to me, yeah what ever.

Yeah taht about covers it.

Oh it snowed and I got really excited and all the customers looked at me funny.

And.........

Here are my millions of pictures from Friday night.





See told you there was loads.

Grading

So today was Laura's kickboxing grading. I had the day off coz she made me book if ages ago, she didn't even know if she would be grading or not so yeah.

It was ok. It took forever though because there were loads of people who needed to do it. Laura was in the last group because they did the higher belts last.

But yeah she did really well and she has a purple belt now, which is a lush colour butthat's not the point.

Since then me and Laura watched Alladin and played Monopoly.

That's about it really.

Oh and I love the book I'm reading at the moment. Twilight Children by Torey Hayden. Tis really good. I've nearly finished it and suprisingly enough my mum hasn't started nagging me to finish so that she can read it. Lol

Yes I am happier today and this entry has been less rantish and alot shorter, yesterdays was reeeeeeeeaaaaaallllllllly long. But yeah, if you managed to read all of it well done.

ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH

I am so pissed off. I really am. I mean what is the point of IDing someone if your manager is just going to overide you on it? I mean we're having all this training about "challenege 21" and being told that we would be supported if we decided to decline someone alcohol if they didn't produce ID when asked, but no. I do that, they go complain and they get the alcohol. Argh. That make it pointless even asking for ID. Yes and I have ranted to about 6 people since this happened at about 7:30. Mum said that I should go and talk to someone about it and Pete suggested I go to Stuart who's the GSM and so rules the land of ASDA Trowbridge.

Oh and some woman complained about me this earlier because I wouldn't serve her on express when she had a trolley full of stuff. SDhe got really assy with me and took my name. I was polite;y asking her to go to a bigger checkout and all that and she went "but what are you doing?" Argh (yes I am going to say that lots in this entry) I hate people like that.

Oh and I got the mystery shopper this month. It was the other week. I got 77.something% which is a hell of alot better than last month, the only thing they weren't happy with was the fact I got distracted by the person behind me. So yeah that could have been anyone.

So yeah last night. I was supposed to meet lydia at 9:30 but she was late so I ened up going down to the party with Lee. It was odd I expected loads more people to be there but yeah. We got ID'd as we went in and if we were 18 we got an orange wristband, which were really uncomfortable.

The ASDA lot all seemed to hang around the bar where as the other were on or near the dance floor. I managed to get Pete to buy me a drink so now for some reason I owe him three, which I'm really confised about coz I only owed him one so yeah. There was alot of talk about how I threw up on Pete's shoes, yeah great.

Everyone sort of came and went. Anita was really drunk by the time she got there and I hate to think what she was like in the morning. I drank about 3 and a half drinks before I just kind of gave up, I didn't want to drink, plus they were overly expensive. I got really tired and fed up and I jusdt wanted to go home. So I did at about 11:45.

Then I got a text asking me if I was going to Chicago Rock, from Pete. Now that just confused me coz I've never given him my number so I had no idea how he got it. Anyhoo I didn't go coz I really wasn'tin the mood. He kept texting me til like 1 in the morning. Yeah I'm at home and I'm not going.
Wokr up this morning. Watched Bridget Jones 2 coz I brought the box setty thing yesterday.

Went to work at 12. Picked up my wage slip and gift card. I got taxed £118 altogether, annoyed? yes. Went up did Haley's lunche she was gone for over an hour, but she had to go to the monthly meeting and wasn't just taking the piss. I didn't want her to come back really I was quiet happy talking to Maria. Her cars been written off, they've taken the courtesy car back, she can't get a new car till the insureance money comes through and she gave Pete my number last night. Apparently he texted her asking for it and she got confused.

Then Aidrien sent me out to the kiosk so I went out and Helen and Nat were both there, so I went back and told Aidrien and he then tells me that I'm supposed top be doing Helens break. You knwo it would be useful if he could tell me this beofre hand. He did it again at about 7, he just told me to go out to the kiosk. Well actually he came and shut me down and said "kiosk", he's such a great conversationalist. One of my customers today actually told me he was a miserable wanker. Yep I'll agree with that. He poked his tongue out at me too. You just don't do that unless you're allowed. He's not. Ok so everyone else does it. It doesn't mean he can.

I got stuck up on til 2 as well. Not amused by that. It's the one everyone goes to coz they can't be bothered to walk further down where there are other checkouts.

I had to wait 4 hours for my first break. Not happy about that, They were supposed to have been sorting that out. I know it's busy ona Saturday but still if the runners can get poeple's breaks done one time why can't the managers? Then I had my second one at 7:30 yes and what is the point of that?

Really and truely I don't think I was needed. They had all new poeple on ceckouts till 8 why did they need me? So yeah when I came back I stood around for a bit, helped Claire do a couple of put backs "helped" Pete with the newspapers and ranted to Rachel about customers and Aidrien I love ranting to her cozx she usually agrees with me. Yep a very productive fifteen minutes. Oh and I helped my mum "find" the fruit juice. She told Pete off for texting me at 1 in the morning, he said he didn't know what he was doing then coz he was really drunk, but he did want me to go to Chicargo Rock. Okkkkkkkkkkkk

You no what? I have never been glader that I'm not in tomorrow.

Sorry about all the ranting. Oh and there are a couple of pictures from last night and I mean a couple.

Hair Today

So I got my hair cut this morning. Kat was there when I went in and me and her were chatting away. Kat left and my hairdresser person was tralking about how I know Kat and her party and stuff and Kat out drinking Pete, and guess what Kat told her, Yep, that I fancy Pete. Argh. No. So yeah, erm heres a picture of my hair which is a bit odd my hair looks crappy in it so yeah.



Went into town and surisingly I didn't actually spend that much money. Just like in ASDA really, where I like spent £30 somehing pounds, coz I brought the Bridget Jones box set. I didn't get my wage slip coz that would have meant going downstairs and I'm lazy, we have to sign for them this month coz they have our gift cards attatched so yeah.

Erm my secret santa is Rosemary. I found the perfect thing I think. But yeah. It's quite easy to get who theirs is out of some people. I don't know who's got me but I;m not so worried anymore coz I know it's not Pete coz that wouldn't have been good.

Work was ok last night actually. Rachel seemed saf that I wouldn't be in tonight. I think she's syuck with mainly newbies so yeah.

Thursday, November 24, 2005

Tired

I really can't be bothered, I'm so tired. I'm going to go to bed I think. I might blog properly tomorrow. Night.

Wednesday, November 23, 2005

Hmmmm

So yeah the fridge man came this morning. Our fridge has been making funny noises and well it's not normal so we're going to be gettinga new one. Just as long as it doen't come at 7 in the monring this time I don't care.

Erm yeah that was basically it this morning.

Went to work. Did Chritas break , she came back and I was plonked ona till and that's where I stayed. Me and Ally spent half the time chatting because it wasn't that busy.

Caroline came in and I served her. She told me that we're having a secret Santa at the Christmas meal. Great. I dread to think who I'm going to get. Prolly someone really hard to buy for. Ahhh. I'll find out tomorrow.

Anita came round and tried to get me to do more work. First she asked if I was working Friday, no I'm not allowed Kat said. She said I could work in the morning and I'm like, no I'm having my hair cut. I wasn't sure what time coz mum made the appointment today, for 12 on Friday. But yeah Lou wanted me to do 8-4, erm no I don;t do 8 oclocks anymore. Anyhoo I need to do some shopping. Then she asked me if I'd stay on on Saturday and I was like only if I can come in later, so I am. I'm going in at 12. So yeah hopefully I shouldn't be hung over at all then.......... Maybe.

I went on my break quite early and I went down and me and Emma were sat there and Jan comes along and was all like "hello Naomi" in a really, I want something sort of voice. But she didn't want anything. Weird. She said Maria's still waiting to find out whether they're going t write her car off, which after seeing the pictures of it I think they will.

Erm went back up me and Ally talked some more. It was quite fun really until Anita came and took Ally away to do Lydias break, well she asked which one of us wanted to but I was quite happy sat doing nothing and stuff so Ally went and I had no one to talk to.

Then when she did come back Lou shut me down to go and do the monthly meeting, which is about the whole "challenge 21" thing. The video was so stupid. Me and Barbara spent the time talking, on topic though which was a suprise.

We went back upstairs and I ened up really hyper. I went back on my till and the Anita came and asked me if I wanted to go do the rest of the putbacks. She shut me down and as I was bagging up a customer came up to her and complained about one of the new girls, so I had to go and take her off so that Anita could talk to her about it. It was quite funny coz me, Anita and Nick were all stood behind her before I took her off and that must have been really scary, I had the giggles and I think Nick thought I'd been drinking. Lol

So yeah new girl and Anita come back and Anita's like "I have another job for you aren't you special?" erm not really but anyhoo. New girl takes me off again and Anita hands me the phone. Ok so yeah it was five minutes and I had two calls. One of which was Lydia and when I got then she'd worked out what to do.

Anita came back and I walked up and down to look for customers. She decided that I should stay and serve anyone who was hiding coz I told her no one was there. That was abit mean.

Then me and mum went and got a Chinese. Not really done alot since then.

Hidden Talent.

According to Caroline everyone has a hidden talent. Hers is knowing checkouts back to front whatever that means. She wanted to know what mine was. Erm I dunno. I have a hidden talent? I dunno.

Work was ok. It was quietly busy if that makes any sense, I'm sure it doesn't. In the forst 45 minutes all I had done was Wendys 15 minute break. Lol. I was "helping" a lady pack and then I had to help her to the car and stuff coz she had two trolleys.

But yeah,me Lesley Barbara and Nick were all messing around on express and smelling the Charlie and the chocolate Factory DVD's which are supposed to smell of chocolate and me and Nick were playing "the drums" and annoying Chrissi. And Barbara served this woman who looked like a witch and who brought a brush which made it worse. We were all in fits of laughter and I hit my head : (

I quite like working the dayish shift but then I'f I do it means I have to get up early which I don't like. Argh. I'm not in till 2 tomorrow which means I can stay in bed for a bit. Yay.

I am going to have my hair cut on Friday I think. Maybe some fringeyness I dunno.

Monday, November 21, 2005

North Pole?

That's what it felt like out in the kiosk earlier today. It was freezing. I had like three layers on and was stood right in front of the heater and I was frozen. You know and then people would come in and say that it was cold. No shit. I mean seriously I hadn't worked that out myself had I.

So yeah this lady had a theory that they only put people they dn't like out there coz me and Denise were being our usual bitchy selves and stuff and Pete comes along and agrees with her. Thanks :( but the Carloine came out and said that was true and that she wouldn't have put me out there if I wasn't on the rota to do it. But then that would have meant that Teresa would be out there and she doesn't really know what she's doing coz she hasn't been out there that much.

I was out in kiopsk on my own all day. You know when normally theres two poeple out there until about five but no I was alone from 10-5 and it got busy but I didn't get any help or anything.

I started to kiosk train Lydia, at 4:45 great yeah I go home in 15 minutes that was clever. Anyhoo it was noce to have someone out there though. I didn't ahve enough time to show her half the stuff though so yeah that was worth it.

Argh and my feet hurt, alot. They never normally do when I'm out in kiosk so I'm slightly confused.

I gots a hair magazine and theres like only a couple of them that I like one of which look alot like Jo's sooo yeah. I really quite want some colour in it too, Maybe I think. I'm not sure though. My hair is a pain in the ass so it might mot be the best thing to do, I dunno, It'd cost more as well.

Erm yeah. That's about it really.

Sunday, November 20, 2005

Today

Went into work today. I went in and Anita goes to me "I've got a job for you" She wanted me to go and unlock all the tills, I started doing that and then Lou asks me to put bags and sheets on the tills as I go along. So yeah I was taking too long because they were doing the change and stuff so Caroline unlocked the tills while I did the bags. I did that and went backon my till.

I served like one person. And then Anita shouts up to me that she's has another job for me. I had to get everyone who was standing around the podium onto a till witha ll the under 18's in the middle so that they were in the same place. So yeah I did that.

Then it was "can you get the rota and see who isn't in" ok did that. "Can you get a barcode for that for Wendy?" Ok and then Anita hands me the phone. OMG! I ended up running for like nearly an hour, which was the silliest thing ever considering I have had no runner training what so ever and there were three runner trained people in who could have covered while Anita did the change run. So yeah I was in charge of checkouts in a way. I mean all I mainly got were calls from mainly Mandy asking for supervision for alcohol but yeah it was kind of fun really. But if anyone had needed a superviser override then I would have been screwed.

So yeah then Anita came back and I took Carol off to go do something and ened up on her till for the rest of the day. I did get two breaks though.

Oh and I saw Kels and Kerry.

Lou tried to get me to go in at 8 tomorrow. Erm no its not happening. I'm not doing 8 oclock starts, not at the moment anyways.

Came home ordered pizza coz it was my night to cook. Yeah I couldn't be bothered so yeah pizza it is.

I dunno whether to get my hair cut on Friday, if I do I need to choose something.

Saturday, November 19, 2005

In Summary.....

Work was ok. I moved around abit and that's always good. I got asked to stay on, Caroline said I would but yeah no, I couldn't you know if they had asked me earlier in the week then yeah maybe but no. Anyways there was a full rota so surely they didn't need me.

Oh and Claire has been contracted to kiosk, she hated it last week and doesn't want to do it, I mean surely they can't make her. But we have a plan. If I can be contracted 12-8 then I could do her bit in the kiosk. But then we'd also need a regular runner so that they knew what was going on and we don't have that at the moment. But Rach said that if she was contracted to run, which she wants, then she would let us do that.

Glynis came in. I served her, I really wasn't looking forward to it when I saw her. But it wasn't that bad really. I didn;t get a lecture but I didn't get one. So yeah apparently I'm the only one they need to get settled down now..... erm yeah ok. She said that I should apply for uni and stuff and I was like yeah I'm going to. Blah.

I saw Terry as well. We were stood there talking and I ended up being made to face up the alcohol which wasn't that bad actually. But yeah.

Finished work on time. Went to Bristol. Laura thought we were just going to the ASDA there and we were there walking around there and she was going on and on about stuff and we were like "Laura shut up we're going to see Harry Potter" she kind of squeaked and hit us. That's gratitude for you! Lol.

So yeah we go to the checkout there and lalala the blaokey puts the stuff through and the total comes to like £463 or something like that, erm no theres only a couple of things there it's not going to cost that much. So yeah he didn't know what to do and I was there telling him, I mean it's somthing when you have to tell poeple in different stores what to do and we had to waaiiiit forever for someone to come and do and superviser override. I mean if was busy then yeah fine but it was so blah bad service.

So yeah. The film was really good. I was worth it in parts to see it just to see Laura's expression which was at times (especially during the bath scene) priceless. Towards the end she was like squezing my hand and it really hurt and then she started crying, becuase yeah it was sad, erm really really sad and yeah ahhh. But yeah it was really good. So you should go see it, and take me too. Lol.

Molested by Pudsey

Yep that's what Helen said when I told her. She said that'll be the headline on the front of the Suin tomorrow. Lol. I was in fits of laughter when she said that. It was very distrubing though.

So to explain. Dad dropped me off outside ASDA. I was walking across the car park and there's Lee and someone dressed as Pudsey. Pudsey then starts to walk towards me. Okkkkkkkkk. He then hugs me. It's pretty scary being hugged by someone in a costume and you don't know what they are. Then they messed up my hair. Erm thanks. I was going to hit them but I didn't know who it was, so yeah it could have been one of the managers and I don't think it would have been a good thing to hit one of them. So yeah they hug me again and mess up my hair. Argh. Then go to punch me. So yeah now I think I know who it is, but I had to make sure before I could hit them. Lift the head abit, yep tis Pete. Slap him and hit him on the head. Erm but I kind of dented his head a bit. Oops. And so yeah me and Pudsey bear then were fighting in front of ASDA. Erm yeah, it must have been quite funny6 to watch.

So yeah I go in and start work. Take Chrissi off which means that I'm next to Judith. And we were there talking and she was like "John's got a girlfriend, she's 50 and called Phillis (sp?)" Ok that's disturbing enough. Then she goes "and he's going to take her home" yep and the conversation got distrubing. And then me and Nick were talking about it and he's like "are you sure it's not just one of his prostitues?" Erm yeah still disturbing. Apparently he was running round naked downstairs yesterday as well. : \

Yep so Rachel shut me down so that I could go and do breaks but I actually ended up going on mine and me, Tom and Ana had some very odd conversations. Hmmmm yeah.

Went back up took Kat off for her break but she went and did something else and I shut that one doen and moved to another one, I served two people on that one and moved to another one, then served one person and went on my other break.

Came back from my break and there were no more breaks to do and there were loads of people in. It was so strange because normally thers not that many people in on a Friday night and now theres loads. So I did putbacks.

Nina kind of scared me she was going on about how when I'm out there I should always keep the little door locked and not keep too much money in the tills. I think something must have happened to her when she was out there. So yeah, am a little worried now. Plus I hate having the door locked, I just feel too shut in and stuff. : \

So yeah I stood around chatting for ages and did the put back and stuff. Then stood around chatting abit more. Put bags on all the checkouts. Chatted some more. Collected cardboard. So yeah I did alot of the stuff that Rachel does between 10 and 11 so I don't know what she did.

We're going to see Harry Potter tomorrow and Laura still doen't know and we're not going to tell her, not even when we're on our way to Bristol. We're going to tell her that we're going to go to the ASDA at Longwell Green instead. We're quite eveil really. We told her that all the tickets have sold out and stuff. She was asking if we could go see it sometime next week maybe and stuff and ahhh she's going to be sooooooo suprised and stuff. Lol. Also prolly no blog tomorrow because of that, but I'll backdate and stuff s it'll be ok.

Twisted Logic

Soooooo this morning I went to town with mum and dad and the first thing that happens practically is this random guy walks up and shakes my dad's hand, well they did some weird hand thing, anyhooooooo, turns out he knew me when I was ickle and stuff, er okkkkkkk. Then this other guy walks up and shakes my dad's hand, yet again I don't know who it is, once again they knew me when I was ickle. Yeah it was majourly awkard.

Erm so I brought three tops. I wasn't going to but yeah. I brought a top for Kat's party and one for the Christmas party, I think anyways I'm not sure. I brought a normal one tooo, but yeah. I got some Pudsey ears too, and yam going to wear them at work tomorrow, well unless mum nicks them. I also spent over £10 on Christmas cards : \ and like not lots of cards but 4 cards.

Went and did food shopping. Adrien was very civil and said hello to me and stuff, I can't help thiking that this is kind of like the whole Kevin thing but without the drunkeness and stuff, erm yeah. Anyhoo I was talking to Caroline and I told her that I was finishing at six on Saturday she was all skeptic and stuff but I was like "the rotas full and Katies in the kiosk" and she was like "ahh are you upset coz she's in there and that's like your shift?" Erm no not really, you know I'm going home at 6 for the first time since like july. Then I told her that I couldn't be contracted it and she was like "that's rubbish" Well yeah that's what I thought. But yeah she agrees with me and said she'd contract me it. I mean I actually want to be out there on a Saturday night, well I'd rather be there than on checkouts really, and well you're not going to find someone who'd want to do it all the time.

Anyhoo I have to finish at six on Saturday coz we're going to see the Goblet of Fire. We have to go because I booked the ticket and it starts at 8:30 so :P blah to you. Laura doesn't know and we are winding er up sooooooo much. She really wants to see it coz she looooooves Daniel Radcliffe, the one who plays Harry so yeah. I'm quite evil really aren't I?

Yep that's about it I think.

Oh and the title has nothing to do with anything. I just couldn't think of a title and it was the song I was listening to.

Wednesday, November 16, 2005

: (

Erm Jo just blocked me becuase I was being immature and annoying and nudging her. *bows head and make a sad face* I'm sorry, I promise not to do it again. If I grow up will you come back?

Hyper

Yes apparently I'm hyperactive. According to Lydia who also said thatI was gobby and had a screw loose. Hmmmmmmm. She was trying all night to convince me that I have to get drunk at Kat's party, which isn't going to happen, maybe. My mum has given warnings to Kat and Pete about me getting drunk. I prolly will though. I'm now like really scared though coz it's a joint party and so there are going to be looooooooads of people I don't know.

Oh and apparently on the day on the Christmas party I have to go to Wetherspoons at like 4:30 and start drinking with Pete. Erm no not happening. I mean the party starts at 7:30 so by the time we got there we would be absolutely fucked and yeah that would make things better wouldn't it. Plus there's going to be karaoke, so yeah I don't want to get drunk enough to make a fool out of myself. I was trying to convince Lou to do it but she said that she'd only do it if she could do a duet with me sooooooo yeah.

Today was ok, I ended up down on four on my own, well after Lydia went. It wasn't too busy so yeah.

I talked to Lou about changing my hours. I have to write down what I do and what I want to do. I can't be contracted in kiosk on Sarurday night though becuase something about separate rotas or something but yeah she said she had a plan to fill that slot but I've worked it out and I don't think it's going to work. Erm yeah now I just need to work out what I want to do.

Argh, my mum found some helium balloons at work on Monday and she put the up in my room scaring the fuck out of me when I went into my room in the dark. Thank's for that mum.

Lalalalala I don't know what to wriet anymore.

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

.........

I really can't be assed to do this. Not alot has happned today anyways.

Monday, November 14, 2005

Erm yeah I broke a till today. Oops. Not the whole till though just the card machine. But they're all broken so yeah, not my fault.

Erm went to Nans yesterday. Went into ASDA Frome. It was dead. It was kind of like our Friday nights, I mean seriously everyone was sat doing nothing. I did get a nice scarf though.
Erm today was kind of strange. I just didn't want to be there at all. You know I'd had that time off and I didn't want to go in.


Apparently some sustomer was telling Lou how great I was this morning. I'm just there like wtf? I wasn't there this morning and that would mean some customer remembering me for like at least 4 day's you know and most poeple don't even remember you five minutes later.

Erm was in and out of kiosk, and ened up the only one on express where it was really busy. Becky kept coming over and distracting me and stuff.


Erm got some overtime for next week. I'm really not doing that much at all, plus theres a full rota till 8 on Saturday so I won't be staying on then either.

  • Monday: 10-5 in kiosk
  • Tuesday: 11-6
  • Wednesday: 2-8

Yep that's it. I can't work friday coz I've been told not to and I want to do some shopping and stuff and I just decided to have Thursday off for the fun of it. Sooo um yeah.

Sunday, November 13, 2005

And some picture.

Erm there are more but I can't be bothered to upload them at the mo. Maybe later.











Yesterday....

..Was great. It was just so good to be back with Jo and Lora. It was kind of like nothing had changed, like "the old days". Erm spent more money than i was going to, erm yeah, but i don't really care. Watched Saw2 which was quite good. Took some piccies which I shall up load and stuff soon so yeah.

Saturday, November 12, 2005

Morningness

Ths morning we went christmas shopping for me. Yay. Erm yeah so I have a ring, a dvd player and some straighteners and stuff yeah.

Erm saw Lynn in Argos. She asked the job question and then went on about how she heard about one with babies, yeah I don't really want to work with babies, I prefer older children.

Oh and I've really upset Laura. Me and mum were talking about me going to uni and stuff and Laura is all upset because I'll be "leaving her" :( bless. I'll prolly end up not going too far away though so she'll be fine. She best be anyhoo.

Friday, November 11, 2005

Lazy days

Well I have spent most of the day infront of the computer. How productive! Well actually it kind of was coz we have (finally :P) organised a day out. Yay.

Erm went up kickboxing tonight. Laura had the day off school coz she's "ill" but then she went and did kickboxing, what is up with that? Anyways spent the time chatting. Then went and got Chinese.

Tomorrow, yam sleeping in then going out with Jo and Lora. I have a horrible feeling that something is going to go wrong because I'm looking forward to it, I mean it took us forever to organise something and now we have, it can't all go right can it?

Then on Sunday We're all going to Nan's for lunch. And she wants us to go to ASDA in Frome. I don't like it there. It just feels so odd. And no it's not just because it's different. It's just odd. I haven't seen Nan in agggggggges so yeah, when she heard I had a day off she was like "oh you all have to come down" and stuff.

Then next week its back to normal. Nearly. I am going t be taking more time off in the next month, work proper hours etc. Yeah really. Must talk to Lou about my contract.

Two to tango?

(Jo you're going to love this entry and I know exactly what you're going to say)

Well, got up this morning, no one home. Great. Well yeah it was. I was dancing around the house with my music on and stuff, erm yeah, anyhoo.........

Caught the bus to town. Argh I was waiting at the bus stop and one bus just goes straight past me. I mean it was supposed to stop but it didn't. Ass.

Erm went into ASDA and talked to Nina for a bit before I went down stairs. Anyways. I was stood there and someone, pushed. I was there thinking "bloody asshole of a customer" turn around and no it's Pete, I slapped him, he slapped me back. Yeah we're mature.

Went downstairs and got changed, me and Kat talked and stuff and walked upstairs. Put out names down for lifts to the Christmas meal. We're going to sit together on the bus, yes yet again mature. Lou stole my pen and I couldn't go into the kiosk until I got it back.

Went out there and Nina was fussing over me and stuff and making sure I was going to be ok then she says something about Pete slapping me. Lmao, "erm yeah that's what we do" So yeah after about 10 minutes she goes off and leaves me on my own.

Blah de blah de blah. Had the usual lunchtime crowd of assy stuck up customers. You know people who work in offices and think they're better than you and stuff.

Yeah so guess who keeps coming out? Yes Pete. Argh he kept throwing stuff all over the floor and stuff and then I had to pick it all up. And then throwing stuff at me. Argh. I told him that Nina had said about him slapping me and he was like "it takes two to tango" erm yeah but thats not the point is it?

So anyways. I think I provided his amusement for the whole afternoon, infact I pretty much know I did. He kept coming out with the chocolates and chucking stuff at me, then he'd say stupid stuff like when he was putting out mars delights he said "what a delight" it took me a while to realise what he was on about but yeah "i know I'm delightfull" walks away chuckling.

Yeah so Some assy woman left an apple at lunch time coz I couldn't weigh it and she couldn't be bothered to walk alllllll the way into the main bit and pay for her stuff. Yeah so I took it and put it to the side. I then had it chucked at me. Oww yes that did hurt and Yes I have told people that he chucked an apple at me. Christa reckons it's a sign of affection. Yeah coz I chuck apples at everyone I like.

So yeah Becky kept coming out and randomly visiting me. Erm ok. I would ask her for stuff and she would say no :( that's abit unfair. I mean I needed bags and stuff inorder to do my job properly but she wouldn't let me.

Angela came out to do my first break and stuff, but told me to hurry so that she could have her's, erm no, half an hours always going to be the same hun.

Went down on break and guess who's there? yes him, there is no escape.

Yeah so apparently my favourite word if "what" I was sat there for 20 minutes tryig not to say it and he was saying stuff to make me say it. Argh it's like that yes/no game. I just couldn't not say it.. I got really annoyed and apparently I'm funny when I'm all worked up. Argh I really wanted to slap him. And then to top it off, an impression of me during the shoe incident. Great that was what? Two months ago.

Went back up had nothing to do. Had no one to talk to. Got really bored. Read a magazine.

Then Carol comes along. I have another break. Yay. So yeah I was walking past the flower stand and there are loads of reduced flowers and stuff and I picked up a bunch of the reeeeeeeeeally expensive ones and put them back so that I can come back and get them. Sheila and Lou were there admiring them, coz they are really nice.

Erm got some overtime. I put it down myself, which afte a year of having to ask other people for it was just weird. There were really crap shifts left though. I got the latest ones I could, because all the new people have stolen the evening shifts :( Not fair that's mine. I'm going to have to talk to Lou or (eeeeeek) Adrien about changing my hours and stuff.

I'm doing:
  • Monday- 2-8
  • Tuesday- 2-7:30
  • Wednesday- 1:15-8
  • Friday- 3-10

Which really isn't alot for me. But then is alot. Ern yeah.

Day off tomorrow. Mum has a day off too which is good. She's been working alot more lately and I generally only get to see her after I come home at night which is just odd. I think we're going to go to town and stuff and do my hair maybe.

Wiggle Jiggle

I love the egg song, but it makes me sad. That's all. Night.

Sacked

Erm yeah, I've been sacked. Umm Adrien said that if I didn't give him the winning lottery ticket then I'd get the sack today, I didn't so I did.

In other news. Today was crappy. Katy was back in and we did our traditional sitting next to each other on till and she got moved so thatone of the new people could go there. So not fair.

Lynn came in and I served her, she was actually really suportive and stuff and wasn't all like "you have to get out of this place" and stuff which suprised me. Anyhoo, she said that I could use her for a referee if I applied for anymore jobs and stuff and I could use her for a ucas and stuff, scaryyyyyyyyy. Yeah I might do that actually.

Ooooo and me and some others, who are older and wiser than me, were talking about hours and what you are and aren't allowed to do, and apparently you're not allowed to do more than 5 days in a row and if you do you're supposed to get time and a half, which is absolute balls, coz I haven't and Katie hasn't and we've both done that.

Oh and Barbara told one of the new people that I'm an alcoholic and that I threw up on Pete's shoes. And then Lydia told Mandy and Haley about it too. Erm yeah thanks. We were talking about being drunk and stuff and I was like "I haven't been drunk drunk in ages" "what not since you threw up on Pete's shoes?" cheers Lydia, you wait till the 25th *smiles sweetly*

I haven't done anything really since I came home.

I brought Bop It the other day. It's half price at work and really I brought it for Laura for Christmas, but she found it so like yeah, lets have it now. It's really adictive. Everyone has been playing it, so yeah.

Oooooo and I have sparklers, I forgot to mention it before. All of yesterday I was like "I really want some sparklers" and Nila and Becky were like "get your mummy to come and get you some" and she came in and I made her get me some. Yay.

Pissed off

Yep, I was really annoyed today. I went in to work and went out in the kiosk like I was supposed to, erm yeah there was a slight queue of like 10 people. Luckily it was me and Nila out there, buuuuuuuut Nila goes home at 1 on a Saturday, so yeah. But anyways, Nila stayed on and then Becky came in to help.

That was until Adrien decided that I didn't need help anymore. Ass. I mean seriously I had huge queue, on my own, yeah so there were queues in the store but surely 1 person having a constant queue of 10+ people is worse. But yeah.

Ahh the firework lady was lovely, she was there bringing all the fireworks out and she kept asking me if there was anything that she could do, but there wasn't coz she couldn't go on a till or anything so yeah, I think half the customers gave up and left, some were really bitchy by the time I got to serve them and others were really nice and understanding and stuff.

Anyhoo, Katy came in and helped me at one point, then she left and came back five minutes later to do my break, silliness. Pete came in to help me at one point, it helped loooooads, well it got rid of the queue anyways.

By the end of the night it went dead, I mean seriously friday night dead. And I was really tired by the end of it, but you know when your too tired and then get hyped up, well I was like that.

So yeah, I am never doing kiosk on bonfire night again.

Friday, November 04, 2005

Erm..

Yeah so I had loads to say earlier but like always it's kind of all gone from my head. Hmm anyhoo...........

Work was ok, I kept being moved around and then at the end of the day I did put backs and stuff so that wasn't too bad. Nina was in kiosk for some unknown reason, she went home the came back in, weird. I think I may end uop in next Friday coz there's no one in kiosk and stuff so yeah, t would only be a 3 hour shift though so........

People are so annoying, I mean seriously, just argh.

I really can't remember anything I wanted to say. So yeah.

.........

I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life...........

Erm

Yeah so I really don't know what to say. Erm, yeah so I'm supposed to be doing my "100 things that annoy me" and "odd things customers say" lists, except I'm blogging without alot to say, so I'm not doing very well.

It's odd everything is kind of moulding into like one big lump of sleep and work, you know it's hard to tell whats going on really, and to make sense.

It's odd I've started listening to music more again, which also means that I've been buying loads of CD's as well, erm yeah so that hasn't cost me anything. My mum's banned me from buying anymore till after Christmas so that people can buy me them and know what to get me and stuff.

But yeah so I'm in anther music phase.

Valiant is out on DVD on the 7th, Lol theres a big cut out at work. So yeah. I might get it, dispite my ban on buying stuff. Lol

Christmas Time

I spent the morning wrapping christmas presents. Mainly helping mum wrap Laura's but yeah. But I know that I have Stitch has glitch and some really cool candles for Christmas. :D

Went to work. Moved around on tills alot, they couldn't seem to decide where they wanted me to go.

Erm, I'm in kiosk on Saturday, suprises, Anita came around with the rotas and Jan and Becky were there trying to get me more overtime, but I didn't so yeah. Erm yeah Anita was like "is it ok if you go out in kiosk on Saturday?" yeah I'm pretty much probably going to end up there anyways. And I'm going in at 1 on Monday instead of 2 and being out in kiosk. But that's cool.

By the end of the night we were absolutly dead. I was stood dancing around in my socks. My mum came in and tells Sue that my feet smell then Sue asks me to go get something and I was there tring to find my shoes and starts being mean about the fact that I have no shoes on and my feet smell. :( Meanie.

I could have had the pick of the overtime for the week after next because Lou came up with the new rotas at the end of the night, Anita was there going "have some time off" "erm I'm having next Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off" "What? That's too much, do some more work" Erm no, I am actually thinking that I might be left pretty much alone next week, so maybe I won't need to turn my phone off. Anyhoo I didn't get any, I'll get some tomorrow.

Erm work tomorrow, suprises, hopefully Rachel will be running and she'll let me do stuff after about 9ish, hopefully, she normally does. It goes dead then anyways, that's if I'm not in kiosk.

Wednesday, November 02, 2005

Erm

Went to work, got bored, felt ill.

Was going to go to the cinema with Maria and all that, but we didn't go. Went round Maria's instead and pretended to watch a film while talking and eating general crap.

James gave me a lift home becuase he hadn't drank.

Yep that's about all, yam tired.

Tuesday, November 01, 2005

Day off

So yeah I couldn't sleep last night. Then I got woke up at 9:30 you know after I finally got to sleep, "Do you want to go shopping?" "Not really, I want to sleep" "Come one" So yeah guess what? I ended up in ASDA. Great.

Erm went in there and Lorraine goes to me "are you 18 yet?" "yeah" "Have you got ID?" "yeah" "Oh good" "why?" "Just asking" Okkkkkkkkkk, that was odd.

Apparently the Christmas party isn't going to be in the Snooker Club anymore but in Chicago Rock, you know after they booked it and put on the newsletter where it is and stuff. That was good.

I have some overtime for next week, yes I know what I said but it's only an ickle bit so yeah:
  • Monday- 2-8
  • Wednesday- 2-8

Yep that's it. Plus I'm going in at 12 on Saturday. I'm not in kiosk (yet) but you never know Roxanne might steal it again.

So yeah I have Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Omg. *turns phone off*

Yeah so came home and did nothing.

Yep that's about it.
