That title just about sums up my day perfectly, It seems like its lasted a life time but it was exactly 24 hours ago since I was last sitting in front of this computer screen waiting for a phone call and checking my mail!

I am so tired I’m not sure how I’m keeping my eyes open!! Last night was a nightmare I spent the night giving away an excersize bike and vigoursly sorting out BAGS of clothes, shoes and handbags (all of which I have excess of) to take to the charity shop! I finally collapsed into bed a little after 11 and settled down to watch some BAD late night telly and try to sleep.

About 12 my phone rang and as I answered, in a really bizarre case of bad timing, everything went off…it took me a minute to figure out what had happened it was dark…and I mean dark I couldn’t understand how my tv swithing it self off could effectivly send me blind, luckily for me it hadn’t, All the street lights had gone out too…we were in the middle of yet another power cut!

It lasted about hour…funnily enough just about the length of my phone call…and then the telly switched itself back on at a stupidly loud volume and scared me witless! Unfortunatly the return in power meant that all the burgular alarms up and down my street reset themselves and sounded similtaniously…including those in all the shops 100 yards from my bedroom window.

I reset my alarm clock..set my alarm on my mobile should we have anothr outage while I was sleeping and settled down to sleep…2 hours later I was STILL trying to sleep eventually about 3 I dozed off, only to wake up convinced my phone alarm has gone off and I’d switched it off and fallen to sleep again at 5:30 and my alarm wasn’t even set to sound till 7!!!

Dragged my ass out of bed (and I mean dragged it was so hard leaving my pillow behind) and sent the blonde kid to breakfast club and set off to work!

Was a pretty uninteresting day untill about 2 o’clock when a little old lady collapsed outside the shop, I helped as best I could and spent the best part of 45 mins phoning for/waiting for ambulances/supporting ambulance responder unit and holding hands with a very scared old lady untill a “proper” ambulance arrived to take her to hospital…finally got back into store 10 minutes before the end of my shift with a cracking headache and a wise cracking assistant manager who called me a “busy body” for wanting to help!

I’m glad I helped but what scared me was the number of totally uninterested individuals who walked straight past without a second glance before I arrived to help…

…People suck at helping strangers!!

Tonight I am a sleepy tired stressed out girl…

…45 minutes ago I returned home from my aerobics class after yet another stressful day at work and a weekend of little sleep after celebrating my birthday..mark 1…tea and toast in bed, meals with my sister and our respective partners. Mark 2 is this weekend Friday night curry with some brilliant people and then a night of ghost hunting at Dudley castle Saturday…

…but thats then, and untill I can let my hair down then I hav eto get through another stressful week in the “office”….anyone want to give me a job??… so right now I’m going to bed to sleep!!

After just speaking to somebody I haven’t spoken to all summer I have been informed that apparently i haven’t blogged enough about what I’ve been up to so they can keep up to date with with me even if we dont speak…

So heres a recap for John (and anyone else who cares…) in the last 2 months I have been to both V and Reading festivals and a couple of gigs. I’ve been out with friends and stayed home alone. The blonde kid has been away and returned again on 3 seperate occasions with different people each time. I’ve slept, cooked, played and worked, I’ve sat and passed my exams, I’ve been to friends weddings and no funerals I’ve been happy and angry but never sad and I think thats about it!!

I should blog more then when people ask me what I’ve been up to can point tham in the direction of this site instead of trying to remember!!

….haven’t got fucking clue!!

I have just returned to work after a 2 week break and now remember why I’m so much happier at home than when at work. The points of view of some of my work colleagues leaves a lot to be desired….

One girl thinks carrying a gun/knife is acceptable if your job puts you in danger, like a drug dealer for example…My reponse…If you deal drugs then you deserve EVERYTHING you got coming to you, AND since when is drug dealing considered work??? She then stood and argued (worryingly with some conviction) that they (the drug dealers) work long hours and it isn’t really the dealers that are at fault but the users???

GET A FUCKING CLUE SWEETHEART….Drug dealing is not only a past time for some of the lowest scum on the planet BUT also illegal.

Quick money it may be but at what price?? And as for it being long hours….MY HEART BLEEDS FOR EVERYLIFE THEY HELP DESTROY WHILE “WORKING” THE HOURS THEY DO!!

I seriously think management training or no management training…Its time I found a new job!!!
