The customer is always right

Apparently working in retail during sales also increases the stabby feeling inside. People treat the place like a jumble sale and whilst i dont actually care about the job i do care about working a whole rack of close to turn around and have it look like It's been got at by refugees. People will pick up a top, look at it then cram it into anywhere thats closest...like with the jeans, or the coats, the back of doors, on the floor, in amoungst the scarves. It's frustrating as hell. Also people bringing stuff back. You were told that a gift recepit means EXCHANGE ONLY you were also told it means you can onloy exchange it for WHAT IT COSTS NOW. Do not tell me i have an attitude problem because you bought me a recpeit which clearly says on it that it is not a recepit you can use for a refund. You're the one with the problem, and as i said to you the girl at cabots couldnt have been that helpful as she gave you the WRONG RECEIPT.

Sigh.

In other news, rents paid, Credit card is on its way (i can buy food and nice things but not too many)horray! Have a couple of interviews coming up for jobs too, its taking every ounce of being not to quit the dentists, ive not been in for 3 weeks now and im wondering if there is any point me going back, im going to have to try and get next wednesday off and i know she will say no...il have to make up a hospital appt i think.

Must dash as i need a wee and its chuffing freeeeeezing in here.

Night all.

For some reason i cant edit...

Anyway the clip below is pretty much exactly what happened to me this am apart from the bat. Damn cat comes into my room, paddles me untill i roll over to go to sleep again, she then jumps up on the side, knocks everything off the surface and i wake up to powders, creams and TCP all over the floor. Damn cat.

Wake up cat...bastard

Christmas

All very quiet, christmas eve i went for a few drinks with Kev, Sue and Damo. Christmas day was with Maz and Rich, and very nice it was too (i read her presents before she had even had a chance lol) I recieved a laptop, sailor jerry rum (i love you ben) and some smellys from grandomother. Afterwards i went to Rob the knobs (yes i know he's dicked me around but i still like him...i'l talk more about him in a minute) and was dropped off this am about 6.30am. I went to bed for a few hours and woke up with a sore throat and a cold. Booooo.

I made some more soup...added chopped toms and it was horrible so i haven't really eaten anything yet. I don't get to have left over food today which makes me sad. Sister and long suffering Liam came over and dropped off some prezzies, sauscpans, a recipe book, socks and a book, and now i'm waiting for Kev to come over.

Now Rob...i feel he may have had a bit of an unfair trial as everything everyone hears about him is bad. He's a nice guy...he just has some issues with relationships. He has dicked me around but not as bad as some poeple i could mention. I dunno. I shall see what happens.

Oh and Dan is moving out...maybe. I hope he does the right thing.

Peace out crimbo lovers.

Epic Fail

Thanks Maz, saw this and thought it was hilarious.


This…Is…Spyware!

Electronics Store | Texas, USA

Customer: “Hi, my son says that I have spartans on my laptop and I should bring it to you guys.”

Me: “…Ma’am? Spartans?”

Customer: “Yes, I called my son at school and told him that screens keep popping up all the time, and he said that I have spartans.”

Me: “Oh! You mean trojans! That’s a possibility; let me run this analyzer on your laptop real quick and we’ll see what’s going on.”

Customer: “Young man, my son is in college and he says it has spartans. You just stand here in a little uniform and make minimum wage. I think my son knows what he is talking about.”

Me: “You’re right ma’am. I was hoping to run a diagnostic and find out that it wasn’t spartans, but just by looking at the login screen, I can tell that you probably have about 300 of the little guys running around.”

Customer: “300?! Is that bad?”

Me: “It’s horrible. They cram themselves into a bottleneck and kill wave after wave of data, until there is a wall of dead programs blocking any more traffic through your computer.”

Customer: “Oh, that just figures. I’m going to go buy a new computer.”

Me: “Ok, ma’am, I think that would be best.”

Ah the worst day

Argh il make this post a list because has GOT to be better;

  • Date boy tells me he's "too into his ex and it wouldn't be fair". Just tell me you're not into me, don't use shit excuses.
  • Fat face money doesn't cover the rent. Now i am applying for a loan so i can pay said rent.
  • I'm still owed £50 and i think i'm being lied to about it.
  • Have been ill all week so i've earnt no money.
  • Still haven't found a new job, i just cannot survive on less then £10,000 a year.
  • Sent home yesterday from work and had to walk past Joe and Simon
  • The drum kit has gone from upstairs, it does belong to Joe but i was going to sell it to try and pay some of my rent that he owes me and to fix the oven door he broke.
  • Forgot i was supposed to be working last night and turned up an hour late.
What a poor day.

In my 40's

I faught the law and the date won

Charlie has a date on Monday. Oh yes you read that correctly! I can't really disclose how i managed to secure this date but it was borderline illegal. Very much looking forward to it though :D

Charlie cooks up a storm

So this evening i decided that instead of doing anything i said i would do (go to Graces to borrow a dress, hoover and tidy the living room, clean the kitchen, tidy my room, have a shower) i baked my heart out. I made pumpkin pie, treacle sponge and a sweet and spicy chicken pasta...thing. My god it tasted all so good.

In bad news i washed my dentist uniform (white top and grey trousers) and now i own a grey top and grey trousers.

Washing machine fail.

A general update...or something

These funny titles i was hoping for are dying a death aren't they.

So the crac so far is that i have applied for a job at a recruitment agency as an administrator. Not the ambulance job i know but it turns out the stupid recruitment woman got it wrong and she didn't send an application for the job i wanted and now they are all gone leaving the one job i didn't want to do as it's dispatching ambulances and i don't know Bristol well enough to do that. So good luck to me on Monday. Still slogging it at the dentists, i've signed up most people i know to get thier asses down there (books are only open till xmas so call quick!!) I did two shifts at the Cat and Wheel, realised i still fucking hate bar work and being on the wrong side of the bar when everyone else is having fun so i quit. I hate letting people down but now my new years eve and xmas eve nights are freed up to do something else. So horray for me.

Visited the family at the weekend, mother and step father both said i was looking slim, sister has turned into a Whale! Yes harsh i know but as the one that always paled in comaprison to the skinny blonde one i am rejoicing in my new found "hotest harding sibling" victory. Shallow? Yes but who gives a fuck, my children will be hot. If i have children...anyway. Sister was trying to convince me that i wanted to move back to Banners (Banbury) and for a while i was sorely tempted untill i speant a few days with my good friend (with benefits) Tom. At first i was well up for the idea, then i realised i would just be running away from the shit i've got myself into here and probably just making the same mistakes again. I'm 22 now and i need to start acting like a fucking adult. So new job, new house with beautiful Ben in May, and new image. Well we shall see anyway.

Mike the "intersting" housemate is off to Ireland as of Sunday and will be back apparently some time in Jan. Hmmmm. I hope it sorts his head out because i just can't deal with the shit anymore. My life is hard enough as it is without babysitting and throwing dissaproving glances.

Fatface is however going well and i have the xmas party on Sunday. I am going to Graces (we shall discuss her later) tomorrow to try on pretty frocks so i dont have to try and rationalise spending my last £30 on dresses or bills.

Talking of bills i paid my credit card (£100) The electric as Dans card didn't work (£52, i expect that back on Friday!!) and the internet/Virgin (£120) so i am now broke. I only bloody got paid on Thursday! Thank fuck i get paid agian on the 19th, that will (hopefully!!) pay the rent. Christ how did i get into this mess!

Anyway im freezing my ass off in the living room and my clothes are still outside "drying" after 2 days (thanks for getting it all in guys.) So adios.
