…the men in my mom’s house are incapable of looking after themselves.

My mom has gone away and the way my stepdad and brother have reacted you’d think she was NEVER coming back! I went to pick her up this morning to dispatch her to the train station in Birmingham and there they were looking all forlorn asking questions at a ridiculous rate… Wheres my socks?, What time are the fish fed?, Who’ll make my sandwiches?, Where’s the bread kept?, What day do the binmen come? etc etc etc… I promised to call back this evening, as they only live round the corner from me, and cook them some dinner, so I did, Rogan Josh, It was fantastic (even if I do say so myself) and I think my stepdad have just consumed enough to sink the Titanic twice over, I’m stuffed!

So anyway I took my mom into the city centre and safely deposited her onto her connecting train and then meandered into town to peruse the shelves of random computer stores trying to find this damn Nintendo THING Jordan wants for christmas,

Now, It is the middle of November, Christmas is less than 6 weeks away SO please tell me why shops have yet to employ extra christmas staff??? And give the staff they have some god damn customer service training!!! 45 minutes I stood in a queue in Game, FORTY FIVE MINUTES to explain to an assistant that I’d been sent over from the Wolverhampton branch to find out if and whan they would be likely to be stocking the new Nintendo DS as wolverhampton had explained to me that you (birmingham) would be getting some in first, Just to be told, “erm…*sniff*…I dont know…*sniff*… have you tried another branch maybe erm yeah”, Do you think its one of the criterea you have to meet to work in one of these shops?? I can picture the ad….
