So, I came into work tonight and found The Hero was in charge.  Hurrah.  Not.  However, he did get his staff to face up the store, which is always a bonus.  Anyway, then he told me that The Bombshell was working for 7 days in a row in 2 weeks time and that I wasn't supposed to be in.  Turns out, even as a supervisor, he can't read the new rotas.  It was actually me and The Bombshell working.  I mean, seriously, if supervisors can't read the rotas, which neither The Hero nor The Bombshell can, what hope do the rest of us have?

Plus there was already a funny incident.  The Bombshell took his fleece off, and I heard it crackling like a tiny thunderstorm with static electricity.  I knew what was about to happen, you know what was about to happen, but, unfortunately, it would appear they don't have static electricity in Poland.  He grabbed the metal gate of the tills and yelped "Ouch!  That is hurt!"  I laughed and said "I knew that was going to happen.  Didn't you wonder why I kept away from you when I got my coffee?"

We just had a girl come in who was wearing just her pyjamas.  Now, the thing is, this was at 1:45am.  And she was accompanied by her mother.  Seriously...I mean, who thinks "Going to the shops with mum, at night, I'll wear my PJs".  And she acted like it was the most natural thing in the world, like everyone does it.  Ok then... 

And, as always, The Bombshell's continued fight against the English language is hilarious.  Today he treated me to "I am in warehouse!"  "I am outside!"  Both time whilst standing a few feet away from me on the shop floor.  The last comment prompted me to say "No, you are INSIDE!" 

And I cannot wait for Shoe to come in this morning.  She always does a canteen security check, to discover what belongs to whom.  So, this morning she will discover a bag with six large bars of chocolate in.  I have been mass buying chocolate for my girlfriend, who sadly, due to living in a dire, dire country, does not have easy access to Cadbury's chocolate.  And certainly not access in any way to the different flavours.  I have stepped in to remedy this for her, and her family.  Because I am nice like that.  And I also have to buy fudge, and mint humbugs!
