20th January 2009: Dull Nights, Kiwis, Cats, Lottery Machines, Days Off and Meetings
Streaming Song Of The Day:
Loser by Beck (feeling somewhat down today)

Free MP3 Of The Day: On The Beat by Electrocute
Tonight is yet another dull night.  Few customers, little work to do because dayshift have been scarily efficient, and Miss C is not being her talkative self.  Strange things are afoot at the Circle S. 

However, there was one highlight.  We had a policeman we call Kiwi come in.  We call him this because he has an Aussie accent but it's odd, so I think he is from New Zealand.  Anyway, his normal patrol territory is Lymington and the area, and the New Forest Car Parks.  Tonight he has been assigned the same, plus Ringwood and the edge of Salisbury.  Those who know the area will know this is a vast area.  And his car?  A panda.  He's not what you would call a happy bunny about the situation.

As for the cat yesterday, well, it is still up to it's tricks.  Not here, but Miss C took it home, fed and watered it, then let it go.  And took her kid to playgroup.  When she ccame back, it was sitting on her doorstep.  Eventually she took it to the vets.  I told her that she should have brought it to SF and let them deal with the issues we had.

This said, tonight we have got  great thing happening.  The lottery machine keeps rebooting.  Not really an issue for us as we're not allowed to use it.  But it's going to be fun for the dayshift in the morning.

Also, I cannot wait to come back from my holiday.  Because apparently I am going to be getting a four day week.  Well, as long as I still get paid the same amount, I am not fussed.  And as long as it isn't a permanent arrangement either.  Screw having three days a week off.  I may complain about my job, but my days off do become somewhat boring.  Being a recluse isn't as much fun as you may believe!

Sigh...so, I had yet ANOTHER meeting with Queen Chav and Shoe.  This time about Miss C and The Bombshell.  I told them my side of the story (sorry, all hush hush for now) and then discovered that Queen Chav is as stupid as she appears.  She tried reasoning that I needed to work tonight because otherwise I would have a 4 day week.  I argued that having tonight and Thursday off made it a 5 day week.  She couldn't see how that worked, and therefore had to be argued with.  Hey ho, means I just need to get through tonight and tomorrow (easy) and then have almost a long weekend.  Methinks I shall go shopping in Southampton Friday.  Am taking myself to Southampton for a nice day out on Monday (my birthday!)
