Well now. Yes, it has been a while and i have missed so much..........Ollie walking, Charisse travelling and chanting.....
I have started the new job and am having a cool time adjusting to life in retail.
The store is great and all the produce is fantastic and there are 2 large(sacred) white cows outside. :)
There are two camps at work, the Supermarket Mafia and the Foodies.
The latter is made up of staff who have worked in Delis and or just love their food. They are all slightly round people as a result. The Mafia all used to work for large supermarket chains over here and so have that corporate mentality and the whole quantity instead of quality attitude. Having infiltrated both camps, i have taken up go-between duties and as a result get told everything by everyone. Just the way my Jewish soul likes it.
My love of the public has not increased, but my skill has. I had the most awful nit-picking bag/hag in a crappy mood come in the other day and by the time she left, she was smiling and had told the store manager how wonderful i was. Unfortunately, it means she will be back.
There is a lot to be said for being indoors for winter.
Today is my day off, and it snowed most of the morning. I have been watching the pristine beauty of it turn to black mulch under the groaning skidding wheels of cars and boots of cold sniffling pedestrians. All this, from the snug centrally heated luxury of Adrian's flat.
I did venture out once this morning, to get my hair cut. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.......
'Because we're worth it!'
