*gagged*

Just in case anybody is wondering I’ve edited a fair part of the site to remove the name of my employers as apparently they don’t like it. In fact some guys from high up thought my site was some sort of threat, so as I’m a good little worker the information is gone. Why they [...]

Reflections, snow and automagic doors…

Evening all.
Today has been a real mixed bag of emotions. I’ve just finished reading through my diary files back from 1998 and it’s thrown up a few feelings:
a) Why the hell! Did I use so many exclamation marks and I sounded so childish and gah, they make no real sense.
b) I was so stupid in [...]

By the beard of Zeus! You are the devil!

Saw Anchorman: The legend of.. the other week and as a devoted Will Ferrell (right) fan I found it good. Not his best work, mind. But it was a good two hours of laughs and the like and that’s what counts.
Anyways, I’m really tired at the minute, for once (!) But then again that’s not [...]

I can’t remember what was said..

..and what you threw at me. Please tell me.
Quite a lot to put into this post, or at least I have a lot to tell you about, whether they’ll all make it in here is another thing. Today’s lyrics come from Lit and from the Soundtrack to my life.
Firstly, today. What a day, [...]

My Success

I’ve finally now transferred from Leicester to Nottingham , only two weeks late. I was due to leave Leicester on 10th April and start at Nottingham on the 13th April, only my manager, Mr. S, was held at knife point and £xxx was taken from the till. Thankfully it seemed a dash job as he [...]

An Expert? Me? Apparently so…

I appologise for the lack of updates over the past month, in fact since before Christmas but I really have been a very active bunny since then. I am now employed full-time by my place of work. I work 5 - 12.30 Tuesday to Saturday, although I’m usually there before and staying late too.
Basically as [...]

Wal*Mart no longer have a hold over me..

As of the 12th of September 2003 I will no longer be working for Wal*Mart ASDA. I was given an ultimatum by my rather inept manager, Zoe, of new work or ASDA. As you can probably guess, I chose the former. I handed my notice in on friday evening and as of this coming [...]

“Brett, you’re stupid!”

I was told that earlier today when I told one of my colleagues at work what I was working tommorow, well today now.
Firstly. Working my usual at my employers’s 12.00 > 19.00
Then, ’cause I’m a skint bitch I’m doing overtime at ASDA on the H&L department to help move around 60 bays. Anyways, I’m [...]

100th Entry…

This is my 100th Entry woo!
I think I’m going to use it to rant about work. Basically it’s the bitchiest place in the world. That said there are a few really nice people. But on a whole the place is full of people who will back stab you at any given oppurtunity. It starts with [...]

Just a quick note..

Basically just wanted to update you on what happened last weekend for my first day at the new job and how the training went etc.
Well, all is good so that’s a relief. I’m kinda getting used to the fact that they don’t have any EPoS which is a tad on the annoying side, remembering [...]

ASDA’s Ad-Match - Stupid!!!

Okay, I’m going to rant about work tonight, it’s been bugging me since I finished earlier this evening.
We have an “Admatch” policy, which basically means we’ll match anyone’s prices. Inlcuding now, any special offers. STUPID idea. Okay, I agree it does make sense in the minds of a exec who’s sitting in his office.
“Let’s get [...]
