The Catch-Up
Otherwise known as "What I Got Up To Over The Weekend", otherwise known as "Bugger All, Really"...
Was working Saturday - Now, I may have mentioned in passing that Saturday was our "County Show" - the culmination of a week of agricultural shows. Well, it's usually a Saturday off for us, because we don't open that day. However, the boss decided this year that maybe it would be a good money-making day if we opened the stationery shop... and, since he knew I didn't bother going to the show (if you've seen one tractor or cow's erse, you've seen them all, I find), would I "like to work in the shop"? (In other words, "I know you'll be doing bugger all else, so you might as well work... and I won't have to pay you extra").
At least it was steady... I sold a desk and a chair, which would have made it worth opening, and a lot of other small things too.
And you know what I did Saturday night - watched a DVD with a glass of wine (most of which was still on the table in the morning, coz I fell asleep just after the film finished).
Sunday I just had a lazy day... most of it spent being cuddled by a snoring cat.
And today? Today was a really shitty day... Without going into too much detail, the boss is wasting no time in telling us how much he doesn't want to be there, and how pissed off he is... and it's hard to be enthusiastic and take a pride in your work when your boss is constantly moaning and doesn't seem to be that bothered about small matters like customers and orders!
So the boss forecast for tomorrow? Wet, windy and not much sign of a change!
