hathycolI was enjoying a really vivid dream last night. Well, more accurately this morning. It was about this point my phone rang, with a desperate sounding Kayley on the other end, begging me to come in. I sighed. I rolled out of bed. I showered. I ate. I puttered into work and then proceeded to work for four hours.
PEOPLE - we can't help that we have no chip and pin device. We are working remarkably smoothly and quickly right now, and we're sorry we can't take your gift cards or tackle refunds. Yes, we do need to phone through large orders. No, really, we do. And it's not declined because 'of our messing about' and you will need to phone through your bank by yourself. Yes, it would have happened if we'd used the machine. Which we can't. We wish it had been fixed too, but there is probably something massively wrong with the entire system given all of the countries Fat Faces are basically fucked right now so therefore WE ARE SORRY. We're not doing this for the good of our health, honestly.
Four hours later, I staggered to Tesco and bought half a bottle of wine for Top Gear tonight, and some Maltesers, which I passed to the remaining two girls in work who were responsible for closing up. Having done that last night, I know they will need the chocolate.
I have an insanely bad headache right now. I am aware wine will not help it, which is irritating, so I hope the headache eases off tonight. There is some ridiculously loud music somewhere outside, I think, which isn't helping matters.
Tomorrow I am going to the physio and therefore cannot work, and then I'm on holiday and according to company policy they can't phone me. Worst part is I actually fel guilty about that, as I feel I should be helping out!
