Blah blah blah

So here I am, still in Aber. No reason to go but not really wanting to stay :D You see my predicament? What I do have is my job. And currently I am applying to become an official member of the management yay right? The huge BUT that doesn't really let me get excited about it is that I'll tie myself down here, in the middle of nowhere for another year or two... Oh god how much I want to get out of here. Talking to Mr. Special, he proposed moving to Chester and while I look for work he can manage his pub, I would absolutely love that because I love Chester... And now this... This is a real shot in advancing my career (lol) and to turning it down would be stupid, right? Is there any point in moving now and basically having to start all over again from the bottom? After a year or two I can add an official management course to my cv and experience and move on to bigger things, right? That's my logic anyway...

For this management course I had to write a letter to the big boss. Umm... what kind of letter? Panicking now... So I just wrote a little letter saying I'm interested, worked here for a couple of years, would like to progress and my managers have given me the green light. Simple, short, straight to the point. After I sent the letter my manager said the big boss is on holiday next week... I could've had more time to think about what to write etc etc. What letter does he want anyway????? I don't know, my manager doesn't know either :D Oh god... now I have to sit here thinking it isn't enough or has freaking grammar mistakes in it bc my manager talked to me so I couldn't check it over and kind of sent it in a rush... yes I can take the pressure lol. 

You know what my manager said then? That there is an assistant manager position going in another shop (the current assistant manager does not know yet) and I was considered for that role. What if my stupid short letter ruined my chances?????? But I'm not technically applying for that job, am I? And I have to wait a whole week to even getting my hopes up to hear anything back...  This week will go really slowly...

You know those people who just look like complete idiots? 99% of the time they are... and we got one of them now. At first I was like looks don't matter, he'll be fine and not a complete waste of time... I was wrong... Unless a miracle happens and he'll find his brain and starts pulling his weight in the next few months, unlikely... One shop in town is full of those people. I mean people who look like they have no idea what common sense is and I've always wondered how to they get the job? Are the shopkeepers really that desperate? I realise being a cashier is not particularly hard but believe it or not but not everyone can do it...  

Ooooh remember Peggy? Well she got fired... and if I understood correctly she didn't even blink an eye, said bye and went... What? I understand it isn't your dream job but getting fired should provoke some emotion, or not? She still comes to the store regularly and is friendly to us... I would be mortified and avoid that whole street in the fear of seeing some of my ex coworkers :D Maybe it's only me...

My favorite part of the job is the moment when this man comes with his adorable adorable little collie pup. Omg he is so cute and cuddly!!!!!! The dog I mean ;) It is almost making rethink having a cat and wanting that dog instead...

Police came in one day and said if we smelt any cannabis on anyone we should call them immediately... Can you imagine that in reality though? Let's say there's a queue and he's the first person. By the time someone calls the police and they come to us that guy is long gone. Or are they going to get photos from CCTV and track him down? All because some cashier said he stinks?

Ttyl ;)
