I'm back!

Hello again. Remember me???????
One of the mentally lazy student f***wits I work with went to visit his grandfather in hospital and came out with the vomiting bug. I spent three days last week singing down the toilet while watching my stomach lining disappear round the U-bend, and feeling like my arsehole was being pulled up inside me to my chest. It is NOT a nice bug…. If you haven’t had it yet my advice is don’t bother – get yourself a nice jumper or a DVD instead..

As part of the ‘store winter infections quarantine policy’ I wasn’t allowed back to work until I’d been free of vomit for three days, so I’ve just done my first shift for nearly two weeks. The Christmas rush thing is starting to bite – we had a midnight fight last night when two middle-aged women both reached for the last Special Offer kettle on the Bargains shelf.. Talk about Xmas spirit, this was more like all-out warfare. Den the Security Scouser ended up with a nose bleed, while Duty Manager Dave (who looks about 14) was called a ‘Bum-kissing ****ing ****-dangler’ which is a new one on me, I must be honest.

Welsh cousin Gethin has sent us a Christmas card from Thailand. It turns out his Internet Girlfriend wasn’t quite what he expected her to be. I’d like to say I didn’t see that one coming, but I refer you to my earlier blogs this year and quietly say ‘I told you so….’
