AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Oh, god - today's been one of those days!

Down the shop (and I was early enough that I could go and get a takeaway coffee before opening up), and then up to the office to do the wages about dinnertime, and then back down to the shop just before 3pm for the rest of the day.

Took my lunch down with me (soup and a sandwich... and managed to get soup on my jumper before I got it as far as the shop), and then every time I tried to have my soup, someone would come in, walk around for 10 minutes (now, we're not THAT big a shop) - during which time I have to be on "Can I help you?"/"We're watching you, so don't try and nick anything" watch at the counter.... so my bloody soup was damn near cold by the time I got it. The red mist really had descended today, and every time the shop bell went, I had to fight the urge to punch something, and smile sweetly.

Then, to add to my annoyance, I forgot to charge my phone last night, and it snuffed it mid-afternoon... meaning I was totally alone in the shop (as I alluded to, it was dead today... people came in, but they weren't buying). I'd got a text from a friend, and I was desperate to reply, just to let them know that I'd got it, and I wasn't ignoring them.

Counsellor tonight... and I really wasn't in the mood for it.

Well, that's about all - college tomorrow morning, and then the shop for the rest of the day... Oh, joy(!)
