I meant to blog after work yesterday, but got sidetracked.
Yesterday was a strange day as far as work went. I was on the late supervising shift, which is 11:30-8:30, so when I arrived, I relieved Julie, the early supervisor, for lunch. By 12:15, as well as dealing with the usual staff queries, customer refunds, putting back abandoned products, getting barcodes and prices for cashiers, keeping the paperwork up to date, getting lunch and tea breaks off, making sure there were enough tills open, taking empty trollies outside, and collecting hand baskets from the tills to return to the stands by the doors, we'd had two shoplifters, one who got away and one we caught, and a jar of Salsa Verde smashed all over the floor, which I had to clean up alone, while running the section at the same time. Phew!
Later in the day it quietened down, and I had enough staff on for the evening, but I had the "pleasure" of having to clear up after a toddler who'd wet herself in the bakery aisle (note to parents: If your 2 year old is crying hysterically when you *enter* the store, because she needs to go to the toilet, yelling at her to wait, while you do a full week's shopping isn't going to stop nature taking it's course, and will just get you a child who's now embarrassed and even more upset.)
On the plus side, we got a lot of training that we were way behind on, done last night, and today I got to stay out of the way and sit on a till for most of the day.
Maryke and Justin had the first scan today - she's ten weeks along - and showed me the photo when they came through my till in the afternoon. I'm normally not broody at all, but it was cute. Maryke's due date in the 16th of December, so that'll be another person with a birthday around the same silly time as mine. I wonder if she'll be 9 days overdue, and have the baby on my birthday? Strangely, she looks daggers at me when I dare suggest it ....
I have tomorrow off, so might even write that concert report for the Bryan Adams concert from last Friday. Can't believe that was almost a week ago!

Phew! What a hectic shift! Still, at least you now have a well deserved day off to rest and recuperate ;-)
Looking forward to reading more about the Bryan Adams concert...
Hugs,

Thanks Lins,
I'll try and get the review posted by tomorrow evening, hough it won't be an in-depth one like the Bon Jovi one was, as I can't remember the setlist!

(haven't forgotten I owe you an email!)
Well, I shall look forward to reading the review whether it's in-depth or not ;-)
And for the record, I shall apologise here (for all to see) for being my usual sarky-self the other day with regard to my post about your IQ statement, lol.
Part of it's probably sour grapes on my part, but also, I think this is something that I tend to do with all my friends sooner or later. It's like I continually *test* people and push them etc. THEN, when *they* (you) finally tell me to "bugger off" I can then say to myself; "See, nobody likes me!".
Did any of that make any sense whatsoever?
Anyway, I apologise once again as it was just unnecessary of me....
For future reference, please feel free to tell me to "Sod off" from now on!
Mucho Hugs,
Lins xx
PS: I shall look forward to the e-mail whenever you have the time and/or inclination ;-)
Hi Lins,
It's 2am, but I'll have both the time and the inclination to catch up on email later today (ie, before midnight!)
As for your apology, it really *wasn't* necessary! Partly because I wasn't offended anyway, and partly because I know you do that, because I do exactly the same thing. It enables me to prove myself right about things sometimes, even though I may actually be wrong! Yes, I have issues ....
Anyway, my bed is calling, but I'll email you later :-)
Hugs,
Kirstie
