Poor Manager Dariush

Poor Daruish. he started work at 12, and stayed to do an accessory move (basically to just shift the grid and the layout a little bit) and at midnight he left, only to find the car park was shut and locked and he couldn't go home, so he ended up asleep on a sofa in the managers area. i feel so sorry for him, hes a great bloke and he must have been shattered, not to mention uncomfortable on a tiny sofa. its one of those leather ones that literally swallow you up. not much to tell you today really, just that i brought some stuff on the way home, a new umbrella, a huge summer scarf thats blue for £3 and some cheap t shirts for my mum. i think i am starting to feel it now, but the good thing is im not in until 8 tonight, so i am gonna lounge around for a bit, then maybe get some zzz's i wonder who thought that three z's make it look like sleep. hmmm its a thought i think i shall ponder, while i fantasize about buying a new coat, one that flatters me and will match everythin...

Cheetos

Morning all, i am suffering from a serious craving of Cheetos, i had them in Spain, and they are seriously good, much better than Wotsits, and just genrally cooler, but ive never actually seen them here **sobs** Work was good, i cleared the stockroom of rails for hopefully the final time ever, and have now started on the pods. loads of accessories as usual. i quite like accessories, especially hanging out the scarves, which i find quite theraputic, if i ever get bored of Denim and Casual bottoms i might move to accessories. the only bit i dont like is the gloves, GAHH i have a hole pod of odd gloves, where do the other ones go? they are probably having a party under a counter as we speak. Richard my manager gave me a terminal log on, which sadly enough i was really excited about. its not managers authorization, which is the big one, but it means i can use the price lookup terminals which makes me queen bee :D they are so handy to use, especially when confronted with loads of sale...

Life is odd

Hi hi hi sorry this is a bit late, but one of the fir ops guys was sat on the sofa by the computer, and i felt it would be rude for me to go and leer at him while i type while he sleeps. i had a very productive night shift as it were, all of the rails have gone, and i started on the weird shelving hanging beam thing we call the bins. its full of really random stock, a bit of this, a few jumpers, some joggers, then a few blazers, it was very exciting. i was sat at the bus stop, and for some reason my mind is very overly active this morning. at the bus stop, most morning when i do night shifts, a lady sits nearby, she catches the same bus, the 6:25 number six, which stops in Woolston on route to Netley. She wears an Asda uniform, and usually has a few bags with her. i think she probably has kids, and she seems quite nice. sometimes she lets me get on the bus first, while other times she gets on first. i wonder if thats because of the way her shift went. if it went well then she is ...

There be a storm a-brewing

Morning all. my house is currently shaking in, out, all about and even a tiny bit up. Southampton is having the worst storm for 25 years, massive winds, lashings of rain and just a tiny bit of seismic activity, or so it feels like. usually Southampton has fairly average rain, drizzle most of the time with a few calm and clear days, so its quite exciting to have something quite wild for a change. this must be similar to what its like when a hurricane visits, although i imagine its a bit more on the edge of your seat drama whereas now it just feels like a busy extension of the tube runs under my house. whilst i found the sound of roaring winds a little creepy to start off with, ive gotten used to it, and it actually sounds quite exciting now. the only thing is, while we are quite safe here, i mean the worst that could happen is our garden floods and a few (more) tiles come off, there might be people in quite considerable danger in more rural areas. i hope my Nans are alright. My mum...

Evening, or is it Morning?

hello all, hope you are well its my last night this week :( but im back in on monday which is good, and hopefully Richard will phone tonight and let me know what 9 im doing. ive just noticed someone in the shopping centre is paiting the windows, just to let you know.i think my mum would love a duster on a big long pole like they use so she can clean the ceiling. but i digress. i really wish they would let me do five nights a week. i will ask but i think i know the answer will be no. the extra money would be good, but its so fustrating leaving here at six knowing there will be 3 nights before im back, and ive made a lot of progress with the stockroom today, loads of rails ive cleared away and the ones ive gone through that are staying ive made sure a labelled properly so people know what to do with them. imagine how clear and organised it would be if i did an extra night! amd i very much doubt i could ever run out of things to do, the fitting room is always full of repro (thats cl...

Night blogging is becoming a regular thing it seems

Helloooooo As the title suggests night blogging is becoming very frequent in the past few days. im doing another night, this time to pip and sizetidy all of ladieswear for the famous Mr Rabbit. ive used a fake name so if i ever get discoverd then hopefully i wont get fired.ive nearly finished the third section, and i am losing the will to live, particulalry as every time i look up thinking i have made progress, i realize i am now where finished yet. i do want to get it all done, and am contemplating staying another hour to finish it, but i dont think i would get paid becuase i have gone over my quota of hours this week. that may sound scary, but in reality, 45 hours is not enough. i could do 5 night shifts, but i dont think i would be allowed to. most people think doing four is extreme and quite frankly mad. but i dont mind, this extra money will hopefully get me a car and a new place to live, although the two are very mixed together. if i move out now, i wont be able to afford the c...

phew

Hello again, so much has happened in the past few days its crazy. our internet at home has stopped working, so im blogging on my break at work. Im back at work doing nights, and i am very very happy to be doing them again. i find them so peaceful, and usually i feel good because i manage to get a lot of stuff done, usually thing that you never get a chance to do in the day. tonight is cleaning, and while i hate cleaning at home and am very content to roll around in muck and my own filth (im joking) but i dont mind it at work. its very good for the arms, no bingo wings here! ive also managed to create a rough plan of what i want to achieve in 2014. some are big things, like getting a car and moving up where i work, wheras some are quite small, like to try to keep my bedroom tidy and getting my hair back into good condition,  to the slightly more odd ones, like too getting my first tattoo which will be a plain triangle, and to learning a new language, maybe Polish, or H...

Night shift :D

Hello all, a am currently slumped at the computer in my workplaces cafeteria, full of dohnuts and feeling very over active. and by that i mean my brain is racing at a hundred and fourty miles and hour while my body moves at about ten (thats me being generous!) we are in the process of clearing the stock room, and its getting there. its just hard because its stock i dont deal with very often. i usually work on the casual bottoms and denim departments, so putting out tops, knitwear and coats is a bit harder for me. its made harder by the fact that a lot of paperwork has to be used to see if we can send the stock back to the warehouse  if we dont stock it any more. but none the less, i am sure you are crying with boredom as i type. im craving all sorts of food, and i desperatly want to go on tumblr for a bit, but i dont think its entirely appropriate to be looking at food porn, hot guy porn and porn porn while on my break. i also want to get back to writing a story i...
