Where's Sergeant Pepper when you need him to lead your army?
I went to work again today, and it was so boring! There were hardly any customers around at all. I hate it when it's dull- I get all edgy and antsy, and I just want to DO something.
The useful things that I did today were:
> Dust the Book department
> Dust the Photo Frames department
> Dust the bookshelves in the cafe
> Serve customers
> Get change for the registers
> Help Vivien move the table of sale stock
> Close the registers at the end of the day
The cool things that I did at work today that weren't useful but were very interesting were:
> Talk to the new girl, Annie, who is from Armenia and is soooo good at speaking English
> Talk to Gaye, who is like my second mother
> Read half of the first page of "Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination", by Helen Fielding (she wrote "Bridget Jones' Diary")
> Copy a recipe for ricotta hotcakes out of Nigella Lawson's "Forever Summer" book, which is currently reduced from $69.95 down to $24.95
> Practice my five-minutes-of-positive-thinking exercise, which is really awesome and helpful
> Read the blurbs of a lot of books
But, dear readers! The Valentine's Day cards are here! Oh, woe is me! Gina (the lady who looks after the Stationery and Photo Frames department), was a bit angry today, because they want her to move a lot of her photo frames to accomodate those big stupid racks of Valentine's Day cards. I was planning to leave Grace Bros before February, just to avoid staring at all of the stupid cards and photo frames and chocolates for a whole month, but oh, it is too late! And, when I was in the stationery reserve looking for something for a customer, I saw the racks of cards! I was so cross at them, that I shook my fist at them. Valentine's Day really bugs me, because the whole of Macquarie Centre goes all ga-ga over it, and they make you feel like a loser and weirdo if you are single. Which is totally and completely stupid! Macquarie Centre just becomes this huge red-and-white love bubble, sucking the energy out of all the defiant and brave single people that dwell within. I'm going to fight it this year, dammit! | | 11:57p |
