Another Night Shift

Hi all It seems i only ever blog while on a nightshift. Im not sure if its because being alone on my break is quite nice, and i can sit in peace and think for a bit, or just because my brain likes to go crazy in the night. Well whatever it is, here i am. Im not sure where to start really. I guess the biggest thing is my current standing. Im still single, but recently ive been meeting up more and more with a guy named James. Hes completly different to the type of guy i go for usually, but i think there is something there. Ive slept in the same bed twice with him, and its so odd, im so used to being cooped up in my single bed, its so crazy to have all thus extra space, although i do tend to roll around a lot which i think annoys him a little bit. Weve been to a few places together, im waiting for him to ask the question of making it formal and official, but right now i enjoy it. If im honest i dont think he is my soul mate, but i do like him a lot. Ive not done any writing for a lo...

Night Shift

Well hello everyone. I must apologize for being away so long, ive just been going through a real tough patch at the moment, and ive lost all appetite for pretty much anything and everything. I guess i should start with saying that yes i am on a night shift (otherwise why else would i be awake and on the computer at this time of night) We are literally ripping hoisery out, shifting shoes up, moving handbags round to the corner, stretching accesories out while forcing Hoisery into a much smaller gap. Its definatly an ambitious idea, and considering we are half way through the shift and we have only just started laying footwear out is rather ominous. Sarah and Simon are halfway though handbags, and are then moving onto accesories and tidying everything else. Me and Roz are tackling the beast that is footwear. with 5 brands of footwear, as well as wider fit styles and leather products, its fair to say its been hard work so far. even getting slippers into layout and moving walls turned ...

Back for Good?

Well hello to you all. I must start the blog of with a moan, as the title suggests, today's soundtrack has wholly consisted of cheesey crap. My morning was fine, i had my ipod in (of which i will tell you more about in a moment) I had Getter Jaani, Chennai express and Sister Sledge caressing my eardrums only the way to work, but by god was it painful today. It seems work have dug up the most out dated, most cheesey and most singable along songs in the history of mankind. And i have had enough. My most hated song is flying without wings, it kills me everytime. Not only is it an awful song, but i cant help but sing along with it, all the while resisting the urge to be dramatic as possible while serving customers. Work really know how to test your abilities of keeping drama to a minimum. But there we go. While i am on the subject of music, it is worth mentioning that i have finally dragged myself into the 21st century. I finally worked out how to set up and use the ipod i won in a...

Mindless sad ramblings

Human contact is a very odd thing, on the one hand, i desperatly crave and desire it, yet on the other hand, it terrifies me. I want to talk and to learn everything about whatever is around me, people,  items even things like weather patterns. Yet i feel so nervous at talking to people that i kind of freeze up and end up blabbing away about something that i dont even care about. I feel like i almost cant even express myself properly, either in a way that i understand, or in a way that everyone else understands. I feel as if i need to say things in a way that the person listning to me will understand, but it means everything sounds so boring and uninspired, i wonder why anyone even listens to me. This is especially true today. One of my best friends Ramona, is leaving to work in London. There is so much i want to tell her, but the words just wont come out. I cant even find the words to wish her good luck. I feel like such a bad friend. Everyone else surrounds her, wishing her luck...

Hi All

Hi all, I am way not tired enough for this. I was up fairly late, but then again ive spent all day cleaning, and i mean on my hands a knees, my bedroom. I will admit, it was in the worst state i have ever seen it, but even so... I dunno. Its weird not having to jump off my bed to try and land past all the dirty washing and board games. But there we go, it will take some getting used to. Im not tired either. I need to be, as i for some reason agreed to start at 6 tomorrow morning. I enjoy them every now and again, but for some reason im just not feeling it. Ah well. Its nearly midnight, so if i was to miraculously fall asleep now, i might just be able to catch 4 hours of sleep. But i doubt very much thats going to happen. My cough seems to have gotten worse, it seems hoarser, and i feel my whole chest moving, not just to top bit. Im semi hoping that a clean bedroom might help, but i know that until the ceiling, the leak and all the mould is sorted out, that it probably wont. Ive j...

Tough with a capital T...

Hey all, and a good morning to you all. Ive just finished my night shift, and i feel surprsingly okay with the fact i have been awake since 10 am yesterday and have managed to move the whole of Per Una. And when i say the whole i mean the whole of it. Every last morsel. All the glass walls, every counter, every arm every garment, every handbag, the full works. I must say, it does look really good, the best bit is the back wall of collection three, the orange and the black mirror each other and it looks AMAZING! Drop in and let me know what you think ahaha. Im putting off going home, purely because it means i will sit in bed, and i will think to myself, oh a ten minute power nap wont hurt, then i'll wake it up it will be four in the afternoon and i will have a manic rush to get ready for the cinema tonight. So instead i thought i would stay awake, blog for a bit, then go home, get changed and go off to Ikea to get those draws and hopefully be treated to some breakfast. With any ...

Everything has gone downhill

Hi everyone, Wow what a week, and its only just Wednesday. Sunday was just a normal day at work, until a sale sign hit me in the forehead, causing yet another trip to the first aider. Somebody had used the wrong decor holder, so when i held onto the counter to steady myself while i picked up a bar that was on the floor, it swung round and hit me, right between the eyes. It was only when i looked in the mirror a couple of minutes later did i realize i was bleeding. I ran over to jewelry where everyone was putting delivery out, and caused a bit of a scene. I ended up walking round all day with a large cut on my forehead, of which several quite racist comments concerning the Indian culture were made. i have however, mastered the new ordering system, which has been online for just over a week now, Oddly enough, its easier to use on the computer, rather than the ipads, which does complicate things somewhat. Monday was my day off, aside from having a headache from the sign smashing in...

Hot and Sticky

Morning all, hope you are well. Ive started off today feeling very hot and sticky, and for once it isn't my fault. Im wearing the new uniform at work, its a stripy shirt and it is very warm, i mean i am sweating and i am just sat down, lord knows what i will be like after my 10 hour shift. It didn't help that i didn't get much sleep either, but ah well. Im excited because we are all going on a night out tonight together, and we always have a great time. Im feeling more creative today, but i still have no dicrection with anything to go with The doorknob trembled, almost as if the entity on the other side was decided wether or not to open it. Julia's breath caught in her throat, as the knob twisted gently left, then right, then left again, as if the creature behind the door was trying to work out which way to open it. Its breath was ragged, rasping and rough, the inhuman shadow peeped from under the door. She tried to be as silent as she could, in a futile attempt t...

Life as we know it...

Morning all, I am very sorry for not coming back sooner, ive just sort of lost all motivation for any form of writing. Ive just spent a lot of time on Wikipedia recently, just trying to desperatly find something that will give me the spark to write something. I think where it is so quiet at work, im getting agitated from the boredom, and its not helping my mind at all. Well today is Thursday (i think) and so the busy days are starting. Hopefully it will be horendously busy for the rest of my working week, otherwise i might ending up going even more stir crazy then i am already! Its so fustrating having writers block. I hate it, i really do. The only thing worse than block is when you have so many ideas and plotlines and charectors, that you have to scribble everything down frantically before it all goes, and then you are left with a huge agglomeration of stuff, and then i lose all hope of salvaging anything remotely readable. But thats just the way it goes. Ive asked to change my...

2014 Is here!

Hello, and i shall start off by wishing you all a happy new year. I find wishing people Happy new year is a much nicer and more inclusive than wishing a merry christmas, im not sure why i feel that way, but to me happy new year you can say to anyone without too much fear of offending them, whereas with christmas i feel like i am making the assumption they are a bigoted christian. But thats besides the point. 2014 For me, started off just like most other people, i went out to the pub to see Steph and her band play, got a bit drunk and went home to bed after dancing all night long, what more could you want? Considering we are only the second day in, its been surprisingly eventful. I have the most horrendous cold, i finally took the plunge and splashed out on some exciting new "toys" i have had my eye on for a while. Now all i need is someone to use them on. The worst thing of all through, has been the death of Havana. She is my aunt Shak's rabbit, and we agreed t...
