(I’m going to start adding random things I find funny occasionally to entries, like I used to do with music videos).

Heart-shaped tail-light for bicycle…

Ergh, a bad shift at work. Not so much the customers, just too much work and not enough time to do it in, even on my almost 10-hour day. Frustrating. I’d pretty much been playing catch-up since Thursday. As I was leaving today, the store manager said ‘Cya Matt’ and I must’ve looked like shit lol. I just said, “I tried. There’s three cages left.”
He understood. My manager will just have to deal with it. I ain’t superman.

I walked back to the stockroom from the store and overheard my manager tell another staff member, “Look at Matt go!” (because I was flat off my feet as usual), and that they should just get rid of my manager and get me to do it. Yeah, sure. I’ll just book my insane asylum appointment now, shall I?
And of course the Area Group Manager was on his way to our store. Sheesh, you’d think if you’re on a 200k+ salary that you could at least take your weekends off, right? Guess not in the retail game!

Speaking of superm(e)n before, there were a couple of REALLY attractive customers today, so that was a nice breath of fresh air. One of them I was perving on and I went and told my female workmate to go check him out before he left haha. She only gave him a 7 out of 10, wheras I gave him a solid 8.5.

Then later on, this other really muscular guy asked me a question about washing powder. Turns out he’d just moved out of home and was completely clueless as to how to do his washing. I found that amusing. Given his size, I would’ve thought he was maybe 25 or so, but I guess he could have been younger. People are staying at home longer these days.
So I found it amusing that he’d never done his own washing before.
I basically told him, “Just buy the cheap stuff, it all does the same shit”, but then suggested he take the half-price stuff of a good brand. I then asked him if his machine was a top or front loader (yes I did think of the innuendo, thank-you very much) and he said it was a top. Of course it is :P
I showed him to take note of which powder he got for his machine, even though I think it’s all marketing crap.
He was really thankful anyway.

I’m home now and looking forward to doing a whole bunch-o-sweet-FA. I made the mistake of turning on my light when I got up this morning at 4am (generally what most people would do) but then the damn light short-circuited again. I’m looking forward to having a god-damn light again next week!
How did the cavemen do it? Without their electricity and internet connections.
They must’ve had a real life back in those days.
