hmmm – what will i do today after work? should i go straight home? go to Galaxy bookshop and have a look? should i stand in the street singing songs from Grease 2 and scare people walking past me? should i be bad and fall asleep at my desk and not go home…no wait that would be bad.
i am wondering again if i could download mirc and ICQ onto these computers. I would really like to have them just so I can keep in contact with folks at work but i seriously doubt that it’s allowed. poop.
i also feel an urge to quit my other job. i am just getting pissed off with one of the people there and that can be a bad bad thing – when i don’t like someone i am working with my attitude to the job can just go down the tubes and i start calling in sick heaps till one day i am just not going anymore…….well thats what happened when i worked at Coles 🙂
have i mentioned that working in a supermarket is evil and you should avoid it like the plague? trust me on this. actually really – i think any service industry is gonna be bad just because you have to deal with humanity and that can be bad. hehehehe
the worst thing about working at Coles was on our second day it was Pensioner Bonus Day – anyone with a pensioner card got a big discount on all their purchases. There were about 10 of us that they had hired at the same time and we hadn’t had our training yet so all we did the whole day – 7 hours with breaks – was pack bags. Now packing bags isnt such an awful task in itself but combined with Pensioner Bonus Day is was GODDAMN UGLY!!!!!
People would come from between Linden and Lithgow to shop there and what the pensioners would do was come in and do a months worth of shopping. thats a LOT of food people. and most of them had pets – thats a LOT of pet food! heavy stuff. and you’d be surprised how dirty your hands get working at a supermarket. i guess there is a lot of dust build up on some products – but damn i hope people wash there vergetables and fruit before they eat it.
i may have gotten grubby hands from the canned stuff – but you’re also handling fresh fruit and veg, stuff from the frozen section which get your hands wet, and if there is leaking from the meat – its not pretty. oh yes – wash your fruit and veg people……
I think it’s important to mention that I happened to make myself unavailable on that day of the month the entire time I worked there after that.
