Tuesday, Wednesday...
Tuesday was one of those days again... mainly due to the fact our shop girl was still off with a gammy foot. So I was down at the shop to open up... then when the boss' wife came in, I was up at the office for a couple of hours to do the banking and the wages... then I had to be back down at the shop again for 3pm to let her go and pick up the kids. Finished my day down at the shop, feeling my nerves getting a little more frayed every time the shop bell rang...
6pm I had an appointment with my counsellor... which went fine.
Came from there just after 7pm and went to get chips for tea. Phoned a taxi when I was in the chip shop, and told them to come in 5 minutes (by which time my onion rings would be ready). Got my chips, and went outside to stand for a minute in the rain... which stretched to 15 minutes at least. Phoned the taxi company again (after watching their cars drive by at least 6 times) and said "Where's the taxi I asked for?"... Their reply? "Oh, we drove past, but there was nobody there." (Damned invisibility cloak... I forgot I had it on).
So I waited another 10 minutes before they finally came, and I got home with my chips. By this time it was nearly 8pm and I was soaked to the skin, and well pissed off. Stuck my chips in the oven for a while to warm them up again... but it was a while too long, or else too hot, because my chips were pretty hard and my onion rings were burnt.
Cuddled down under my blanket and fell asleep... only to waken up about 3am, with the cats out in the rain (and I'm ashamed to say I didn't get up and let them in... I just went back to sleep again)... So I suppose I had no one to blame but myself when a couple of very pissed off cats came in this morning and both tried to dry themselves all over my ankles!
Today started off on a similar crap footing... got up just after 8am and went to wash my hair before college (because it had gone like straw after being rained on last night). In my hurry, I managed to fill one ear full of water, so I spent half the day deaf in one lughole!
College was just the usual... It's something like 3 weeks to my exam now, and I am seriously bricking it - everyone else knows everything, and I'm still utterly clueless...
While at college, I got a text from the boss - "Shopgirl's not in today yet, can you do the shop after college?" - So just after 12o'clock, I grabbed something for dinner, and the rest of the day was spent in that fucking shop again. And, get this, shopgirl's now not going to be back until Monday at least, because the doctor she saw on Monday didn't bandage her foot, and it's not getting better. So she's on crutches for the next couple of days, and we're having to fill in for her (I get a day off from the shop tomorrow though, because it's the end of the month, and there's suppliers to pay and things like that)... but I suspect I'll have a day of it again on Friday.
And boss remembered today that our Saturday girl's last day was last Saturday, and that we didn't actually have anyone sorted to do this Saturday coming up! So muggins is in the shop Saturday as well - oh joy, oh bliss, oh rapture(!)
Watched the launch of Big Brother tonight - and it'll be the last I watch of it. All women (what a fucking stupid idea), and what a bunch of wannabes, bimbos and twats! Do us a favour, Channel 4, and drop a bomb on that house right now.
Sorry... can you tell I've had a bad day?

I'm sorry I've just got to say if...if that shopgirl worked for anyone down here..she would have been SACKED by now...and if your boss was anywhere down here he would have been in serious trouble about the hours you are working by now as well.
