Countdown

Would you believe it, but I'm on another night shift. It seems I am rather addicted to doing them, although right now there is no place I would rather more be than in bed. Snuggling under the duvet, surrounded by pillows and throws and cushions and the like. But I'm not. Instead I am sat at a computer with a rather sticky keyboard, writing about my day. I guess it's a good compromise. Work has been strangely quiet the last couple of days. I mean so quiet, that I even started changing the size pips on the coathangers, so they were actually right. That's how quiet it was. The only time we ever do that is in the lay months of january and february after the sales have gone. It was stressing me out, because once I started, that was it. Trousers was a mess, except for the straight leg and the tapered crops/ 7/8ths. Only because I had already sized those at an earlier interval in the day. Also, Thursday I spent the day relaying Indigo, making it look as beautiful as it co...

Bad News

I cannot fathom what on earth people were thinking, except for those voting with an immigration head on. I can honestly say, that I worry about the future of our children now. We are going to be missing out on both a massive opportunity, and a large community of shared wealth, politics, economics, and perhaps most important of all, a shared culture. There's not much more I can say about this really. I feel absolutly gutted, and am worried about what tomorrow will bring. We could thrive, but at the moment, it is much more about survival. And that is going to be a very difficult road to follow.

From the Night to Nocturn

Hello. Well it's been a rough week. Bloody hell am I glad I am off tomorrow. The weekend at work was just horrendous, bloody customers having a go about anything they could possibly have a go at. It got to the point, that I was ready to start throwing them down the escalators. Fortunately for them, they stopped complaining. The week was just busy in general, and I actually got very little done all week, something I'm a bit annoyed about. My book is really coming along, it's starting to wrap itself up, although other parts of it need a lot of work, the light is at the end of the tunnel. I've started to treat one of the characters with some contempt. She went from being a rather sassy but interesting individual, to being a down right rude and nasty person. It's not a change I intended, but I guess it shows character development, although just not in the way I intended. The other thing I wanted to share was a conversation I overheard at the til at work in the wee...
