6 Days...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Manny you gotta work the next 6 days, well thats not exactly how it went but its damn sure how it felt. So the store was closed on Christmas day as expected it, however i normally work on Sundays so in order to make up the time, i had to work on one of my days off, and i was scheduled to be in last Tuesday which i had no idea about as im normally off on a Tuesday so didnt check the Tuesday work Schedule that was on the notice board. So while i was meant to be at work i was at the cinema watching The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo pretty awesome mystery film did make me think about reading the next two books.

Anyway i go to work on Wednesday and find out that i was meant to be in on Tuesday, which instantly made me panic "oh shit i fucked up" anyway this wasnt such a big issue as i wasnt the only one that did this. So one of the managers suggested i just make up the hours on my next day off which would be Friday, which in turn would mean working 6 days in a row, which included New Years Eve and New Years Day. By the 6th Day i was just exhausted, also a little fed up, but i got through it and that's all that matters. The annoying thing about this was that it wasnt just a ordinary fuck up, it was a double fuck up i suppose on my part, as the Tuesday i was meant to be in was a Bank holiday, so by not being in i forfeited Time and a Half pay.

The Store was also closed on Boxing day but my store had already agreed with one of the big central London stores that some of us working their will have to work in that store on Boxing day, which was fine, despite the fact that it wasnt my store so didnt know where things went or where things are or anything about the sale that was going on cause my store is strictly food whereas that store is clothing aswell. i was made to assist with packing on a till for 4 hours so it wasnt too bad well it kinda was as in my store packing is easy as its pretty much just boxes of stuff to put in a bag its like playing tetris pretty much but in that store i learnt about myself that day, i cant fold clothes as i would attempt to fold the clothes and then shove it in the bag.

The remaining 2 hours were spent doing put backs however as i didnt know where things were it was basically walking around the menswear department trying to find where things went lol not bad for time and half pay. Also went for a drink afterwards which i clearly needed the drink it seems as i managed to down 2 pints like they were nothing in like 40 minutes, i only know this cause i walked into the pub during a football match and had a timer lol.
