You will be fine Sundae. After a few weeks you'll think nothing of it.

Got moar overtime, yay!

Means I haven't had a day off since 8 August but this week for example I am only working three hours on Mon, Tues, Weds. No-one can even pretend that is a proper job.
Four hours Thurs then overtime Fri (4.5 hours) and Sat (9 hours)

Tomorrow I think I'll hang about a while whether paid or not, as it's the first day for one of our team members. She did all the training with us but had to go in for an operationon opening day - all scheduled but still. Adding on recovery time she feels like a babe in the wood starting tomorrow. I finish 15 minutes after she starts, nowhere near long enough to pass on my vast knowledge acquired over the last ten days...

I'd do the same for any of the team, but she's extra special anyway.
I've already warned her that as I set-up four days a week I am responsible for stock ordering, general appearance of the counter and discounting, so I have turned into a right tyrant. I've had a sniff of power and it's corrupted me. Or is that just goats' cheese?

Today eva nearly drowned. Long story short, mav was supposed to be watching her and he had a big fail. Shes fine. He will be too.

The reason for my post is that i had my cards read a week and a half ago and she said that a dark haired young man was going to have some trouble around water and that itd be something to do with young children. Anyway, i hope the other part about receiving a large sum of money might be true also.

Blimey Ali, that's not a story for the Post Whore thread! That's teh serious.
Thank FSM she's okay.
I doubt Mav will forget this easily...

But here's to a windfall, certainly.
Even though I don't believe in that stuff.

Thoughtless woman this morning reset the timer to the maximum on the whirlpool spa (without asking/mentioning it to those already in (namely me)), then got out before the original timer would have expired AND LEFT THE DAMN THING RUNNING with no-one in. Grrr. Yes, I turned it off.
