MLB Winter

A mixed bag really

Starting with the Christmas box which was great, especially the Tadaaaa! sticker :)
AAaaaand the slated caramel spread! Which reminds me, Must. Get. More!!! It was yummi with pancakes :)




Other items included:

  • Forest scented candle (my glass jar was broken... so not lit yet)
  • A bracelet (cuff bangle), quite nice
  • Hyperbole mini perfume which smells divine
  • smoky eyes eye shadow
  • Kusmi tea box
  • last magazine
  • Amande shower oil




January was totally different and came in a bag instead of a box


Best part must be the snood... I was on the lookout for another scarf

  • Fresh start means no magazine any more
  • A timeless planner notebook, which would be awesome if I'd actually use them... I looooove the idea of it but can't just bring myself to commit to filling in a notebook...
  • Body cream
  • A hair mask shot by Garnier
  • Toothpaste (perfect size for our trip to Iceland)
  • Helpful notes about creating vision boards and planning (must say I totally forgot about them...), not into any of that at all...
  • A hand cream



February seems a bit niche... and not mine (school skiing horrors possibly), I was expecting something red, Valentine, love related but got mountains... Well the lip balm is red..


Best part: Mountain shaped post-it notes

Others:
  • Get cosy book to replace the magazine
  • Sparkly socks
  • Brooche (that I'm never going to wear ever)
  • Lip balm (that makes your lips red)
  • Pore corrector
  • Roll on eye energiser
  • A needle hook and pattern to knit my own snood... no thanks, already got one-ish from school..



Teeny tiny samples

Overall verdict: last year finished with a bang but this year hasn't really been up to scrap..

Counterproductive

Is apparently who I am :D

And this comes from two guys in their thirties... I admit I was upset at first but dude come on... the more I thought about it I realised the whole situation was like playground bullying not a professional environment. Especially when I asked for an explanation from one of them (the other not important at all anyway), he couldn't give me any. Apparently everything I did was right but the staff just don't like me so they complained... :S 

Lazy (ok so maybe I wasn't too sure what to do exactly in a new place but when I asked the other guy the answer was: "Fridays are quiet anyway", thanks for the informative answer) 
Bossy (can't really argue with that one :D but that means that they themselves didn't want to do anything extra either)
And finally Counterproductive :) I know exactly where that came from but they'll never ever admit it. Because when it comes down to it I didn't do anything wrong :) I just did things slightly differently than they are used to...

This all happened 3 days in :) THREE DAYS! :D

––––––––––––––––––

Now I'll take you back a couple of months when I finally got rid of that awful polish woman... She smelt of weed one day when coming to work... At first I panicked, what to I do omg, thought I'd leave it (obvs made a stern comment that never is this ok under any circumstances) but the smell just wouldn't go away. Even after 2h... means she had something in her bag... Lord help me... I didn't do a bag search but should've and that's why it dragged for about 2 weeks (paid suspension for her) and her faith was uncertain. I think I actually prayed for her to get fired.

Luckily for me she came in one day and told all the staff why she couldn't come to work at the moment and one of them piped up and said she had come to the shop completely high one day and even made a comment about it... We have microphones in the ceiling :) and that was a couple of hours before her  shift that day... so a pattern... Not so innocent anymore. 

And yes all ended well (for me) and she quit... a couple of months later heard that she basically disappeared and left behind a pile of debt (rent, council tax) that her former flatmates now have to pay for... What a lovely lovely person :)
