It's 20 Past 8...

in the am, the sun is shining, and I'm sat here at work.

So much for being able to have a Saturday off when the boss is not away.

Yes, I'll get Tuesday off, but as that's for my auntie's funeral, it doesn't really compensate.

I Wish...

I had at least some news to bring you, instead of just the jokes, music videos and cat / dog things, but the most exciting thing in my life (apart from my upcoming time off) is the fact that I dyed my hair "mystic violet" yesterday.

Apart from that, it's just work, eat, sleep... work, eat, sleep... etc, etc...

I guess there is the fact that Flunky & I are alone at the moment because the boss is away on a secret mission for 3 weeks (he's been a week away already). I've managed to resist beating up Flunky so far, but it's been a near thing once or twice... If he refers to me as "my secretary" once more, I will not be held responsible for my actions!

And that's really it... What a boring life I lead...

Something For The Weekend?

Yes, several things:

1. A pizza for tonight.
2. A bottle of cheap (and probably horrid) sangria.
3. "Casualty" on telly tonight.
4. "Takin' Over The Asylum" to watch on DVD, starring Ken Stott & David Tennant.
5. "The Colour Of Magic" (Part One) to watch tomorrow night on Sky One - starring the delectable Tim Curry.
6. Two cats to cuddle... and feed... and let out... and let in... and let out... and get followed to the loo by (does anyone else have cats that do that?). I can't go to the toilet by myself - doesn't matter how carefully I try to sneak away when they're not looking... I'll be sat on the loo, and I hear a sound like elephants stampeding, and there they are!
7. A box of Thorntons chocolates instead of an Easter Egg.
8. Cheese Doritos and Sour Cream Dip.
9. A hot water bottle.
10. "Hollyoaks" omnibus tomorrow morning.

That should keep me going, I think.

Oh, well... work's nearly over. God, it's been boring. I've really missed not being in the shop, down on the street where folk are coming in, and you can people watch all the folk going past the window when it's quiet...

Well, that's a couple of minutes to 5 - so I guess I'll go and lock up and then I can come in and finish this job I'm doing before going home.

It's 8:55am...

And I've been at work nearly an hour already.

I'm up at the office today, alone... and that means an 8am start.

I've only had one customer so far, and they didn't buy anything... I'm sleepy, and I'm bored, and I want to be at home with the cats... just chilling out.

There's A Lack Of "Personal" Posts At The Moment...

Because there's a lack of anything exciting to write about!

I'm really tired at the moment, but there's no chance of time off work, because I'm down in the shop again.

Bah!

God, I'm So Bored....

It's quarter past 3... I've been here since 8am - alone since 11am... and I'm fed up...

And I'm feeling desperate and deprived because I don't have any chocolate - and the more I think "Bugger, I've got no chocolate", the more I WANT chocolate!


I've had my sandwich for lunch... I've had a packet of crisps... I've had a cup-a-soup... I've had an orange... and a thing of melon chunks... but I'd rip off my own left arm for chocolate right now!

Sniffle... Sniffle... (gulp)... It's Okay... I'm Fine... Really...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! *Sniff*

Sorry... I've just watched episode one of the second series of "Ugly Betty" on Channel 4... and there was a bit near the end that was just so sad... and I blubbed! If you watched it too, you know the bit... *blush*

Anyway, today at work was shit. I'm up to date with things just now, and I'm really struggling to find things to do some of the time. To top that off, the boss was out quite a bit today, and I was there on my lonesome... either with no one to speak to, or with customers who needed technical advice that I just couldn't provide. The boss was even down at the shop over dinnertime, so I couldn't go out to get any food... and then he came back, and went out again... and then came back... and then buggered off early, leaving me alone again for the last hour, still foodless... and I had a serious chocolate urge!

Shopping tonight... and I'm about to venture into the (largely) unknown... Now, I'm not the world's most confident, or capable, cook... but on Sunday I'm going to make soup. I've only tried it a few times before, but my Mum could make great vegetable soup, and I'm hoping soup-making ability is genetic (a bit like child-bearing hips, I guess). I'll let you know how I get on. I'm going for lentil & bacon, with carrots, neeps (turnips to you foreigners), parsnips and spring onions). I guess that's all you need for soup... and some stock... but if anyone reading this has any tried and tested soup recipes, just let me know! Winter's coming, and I love soup on a cold evening.

Working in the shop tomorrow... Oh, fun(!).

Well, I guess that's about all my news for today.

Catch you around, Bloggers... x

Not Much Ado About Bugger All, Really...

Such is life today... boooooooooooooooooooooooooring in every way.

Work boring... life boring... and not even the fact it's pay day cheered me up.

Nothing's cheering me up today, so I'll bugger off and not depress everyone else as well!

If The Boss Reads This...

It's my dinner break - so there!

Well, yesterday was pretty crap... down in the shop in the morning, then the office in the afternoon.

Had a nice loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shower after doing the shopping, though, so I felt a bit better after that. Had something to eat, and then was settled down to go to sleep by about midnight, so that I could try and make sure I didn't sleep in today.

And on to today...

My alarm clock did (thank god) waken me up, and I managed to crawl out of bed in time... still absolutely shattered.

Work's been dead dull... I'm finishing off the spreadsheet for the shop stock-take, and serving the (almost literally) one or two customers that have been in today.

Hey, but tonight should be fun! I'm going to a (60th birthday party)... Why am I whispering? Coz the victim... sorry, birthday guest of honour... doesn't know anything about it. It's my brother-in-law's birthday today.

So, with a bit of luck, tonight will be a date with drinks, fun, drinks, food, and some more drinks! I'll try and let you know about it tomorrow (if I survive)...

Oops... that's 2o'clock... back to work...
