wow, didn't realise it's been nearly a year since i posted on here!

So lets see, since i last posted i got sacked from work for comments i made on Facebook (thanks to a backstabbing little shit!). Now i'm working nights in a Morrisons supermarket not far from where i live. And i'm a lot happier now. I have no responsibility, i just go into...

Well work is utter shite at the moment. Since a supermarket opened last year, my little conveinience stores sales have dropped about 2000 a week. I thought eventually things would start to pick up for us again, as the novelty of the supermarket wore off, but no i was wrong. Now my store isn't actually making any money and i can see the company i...

I'm feeling a lot happier than i was in my last post. Things are going pretty well at work now, and i no longer feel like leaving. A lot of that is due to my new deputy manager. She actually has a passion for the job which is rubbing off on me. We've done quite a bit to improve things in store already and we've...

Yesterday my boss came into my store and questioned my ability to manage my store, which is always a good way to start the weekend. Then he asked if i felt it would be better if i stepped down to assistant manager. I've been thinking the same thing myself recently. Well, i've actually been thinking i want to get out of food retail. I've decided...

So tomorrow i'm going to be 31 and i'm going to spend the day helping my two best friends move. It should be a fun day though, and it looks like the weather is going to be good.

Also, as it's my birthday, i've booked some time off work and i've decided it's the perfect time to re-read all of Strangers in Paradise. Though i'll...

Wow, over half a year gone and this is only my second post of the year...

To be fair, not a lot has happened thats worth writing about. I've gone on a few dates that didn't lead to anything (which was my own fault, so i can't moan about it.). I've recently been awarded for being with the company i work for for 10 years....

I really don't want this to be a whiny post, but i apologize in advance if that how it ends up.

At our companies Christmas party i got friendly with a girl who works at one of the other stores on my district. We chatted a bit but mostly just danced (rather intimately). It was nice, as it had been a while since any girl...

Well the last time on posted on here i was feeling very down. I feel a lot better now, thanks mostly to my district manager telling me that he didn't think i needed to step down. Still not 100% happy in my job though. Think i just need a change from food retail.

in fact i think i just need a change in pretty much...

I think it may be time for me to update this.

So, lets see what's happened recently. I basically received a vote of no confidence from the majority of the staff at the store i was at in Cinderford (they though i was too soft on them among other things!) so i was moved to a smaller (at least in sales terms) store in Cheltenham....

I've decided that i don't really like snow.

For about the last week the Forest of Dean (and the rest of the UK) has been covered in snow. It looks very pretty and i enjoy walking in it when i'm on my day off from work, but it's a pain in the arse when i'm at work. I have to take a longer route to...
