Thrill-a-minute

Another exciting day in the world of Supermarket Management Induction Week.

The most interesting thing I learnt today is that the managers meeting room has a cupboard with eighteen different types of tea in it. So today I have sampled Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong and something bland and sickly called ‘Energising White Tea’ which is a misnomer. The only part of me that it energised was my bladder.
Tomorrow I get introduced to all the store computer systems and learn my log-in ID and password. Lucky me. Thursday is a supermarket-specific first aid course., teaching me how to deal with medical emergencies that could arise in my job. Apart from trolley rage, drunkenness and pensioners slipping over because they’re shopping in their slippers, I’m not sure what those emergencies could be. Unless they’ll be teaching me how to deal with my own suicidal boredom…
