I Knew It Wouldn't Last...
I got a day and a half up at the office, before the boss came in before dinner time today and said "Shopgirl's only gonna manage to do half days for the next while"... So I spent this afternoon in the bloody shop again... I'm there tomorrow afternoon after college (my last lesson before the exam on Monday - eeek!)... I'm there sometime on Thursday... and I'm there Friday morning... and then god knows... So I'm back amongst the Tippex and "Can I have 15 sheets of that colour paper, and 8 sheets of that colour, and 17 of that one, and 2 of that pink... no wait... that pink's too light... and can I have 2 sheets of the first colour instead of 15 and 13 of that other colour there? And how much is it per sheet? 5p? Oh, no... I can't afford that... I'll have to put some back..."
Tell me, shopworker blog-readers... how the hell do you put up with it? Customers who don't know what the hell they're looking for really drive me up the wall... "Can I get a cartridge for a printer? It's an Epson, I think... or maybe an HP... Number? It's an 860... or a 680... there was definitely a 6 in it..." IT - JUST - REALLY - DRIVES - ME - CRAZY!!!!!!!!
Counsellor tonight... discussing my sleep problems and money situation... I've been to the C.A.B. again about debt management and how to pay it off, coz now I've got to find £50+ rent per week, never mind Council Tax, phone bills, electricity and the like, as well as try to pay off my debts. And they really cheered me up...(!) "Well, under this debt repayment program, you could be clear of debt in 4.5 years. Fucking hell - I don't even imagine myself 4.5 MONTHS ahead, never mind knowing that I'm going to be flat, stoney broke for the next 54 months...
Spent tonight sending voice messages teaching English to Viki in Hungary... not my fault she demanded I teach her all the swearwords!
Oh, well... I'll bugger off now...

good luck on Monday Ally..
i know what you mean about customers.. not that i've worked in a shop though..just standing behind another customer that is a TOOL annoys the hell out of me..
Good luck on Monday, I've got all that to look forward too!
Oh and the money thing, all of a sudden usually a couple of reviews in you'll start noticing the difference in balances!
