Koff, Koff... Sniff, Sniff...
I swear to God that, by the time this month is over, I am going to have a full-blown cold, and that'll be me for the rest of the winter... I'll be coughing and gasping for breath and generally dying noisily until February or March!
Today I've been soaked to the skin not once, but twice... first time when I went just about 50 yards up the road at dinner time to get something for lunch, and timed it just as the rain came on... and the second time was because I broke a bit on my glasses, and had to leave work early (on foot, as I hadn't been to the bank, and didn't have enough money for a taxi) to go to the optician to get it mended - and I wasn't 50 yards DOWN the road, when the heavens opened, and dumped a small reservoir's worth of water down upon my head as I walked barely a couple of hundred yards!
Did the shopping tonight, so that's one less thing to do tomorrow.
Tomorrow will, of course, be spent in the shop coz - despite the boss telling me I could "have every Saturday off" - he's done nothing at all to arrange cover for Saturdays now that the student who was home on placement over the summer has gone back to studying!
And I'm in the shop on Monday, coz shopgirl's got a wedding that she's going to tomorrow, and she's "got some things to sort" on Monday (ie, she's going to be hungover still), so she needs the day off... and Flunky's going to the wedding too, except he's coming in on Monday... so the boss will have him in some stage between still half-pissed, and half-dead because he's hungover, on Monday... Lucky boss(!)
But again, out of a staff of 4 full-time, and one part-time, do you really give 2 folk the same day off? And why can't I get a day off!? Especially since it wouldn't be to be hungover, that's for sure!
Anyway, rant over... It's about time I buggered off to bed...
