Day 6 - Monday the 1st of December

First day of december at last and finally you can buy and start your advent calenders.Always wondered just who buys them in late August when TESCO started selling them.Sad sad people in todays society.

First of all an apology for the lack of update,it should keep going daily now.Just been bombarded with work and a hefty schedule of drinking which i reluctantly accepted.Also I know I double posted I just cant think of how to get rid of it to be honest.

Sunday at work always really gets on my nerves.I swear there has to be more to my weekends then scanning barcodes.Being paid £8.38 an hour helps...a lot but still.Then I was given my freedom on Sunday afternoon.Pushing sodding trollies in the pissing rain for three hours.And do people thank you,do they hell,thank god I gave it up and went on tills.

Is it really that bad ? Not usually,you get a break from tills,you can text and in general do what you want.But when it's coming up to Christmas,people become stressed..

The following story actually happened

As I'm meant to I asked a bloke who was strapping his kid in the seat if he wanted me to take his empty trolley and shut his boot so he didnt have to get himself or the inside of the car wet.How did this kindly old man respond ?

"NO,JUST LEAVE IT"

He actually yelled at me,what a tosser

ME>Woah ok then

And i took his trolley and added to the train I had collected of about 30-40.This bloke then shuts the boot and looks for his trolley,when he realises I've took it he went nuts and ran over and pushed all thirty of the trollies down the hill

Thats right a grown man of 30-40.Im just as shocked and disgusted as you are.He then got in his car after watching his own destruction and drove off as fast as possible nearly hitting three cars on the way and an innocent lampost.

Thats what Christmas does to adults this time of year,turns them into trolley pushing yelling assholes.And who's to blame.... Supermarkets who put advent calenders out in Sept,putting unwanted pressure on them ! Shame on you !

So as soon as my ears had stopped ringing from Fri I was off out again.One my latest mission,to find a disposable camera at 8 o clock on a Sunday night.Dressed to impress I turned up at my local garage to be confronted by a kindly old man behind the counter.I held my breath..(he did stink) and engagedi n conversation

ME>Hi,do you have any disposable cameras at all ?
HIM>No sorry
ME>Oh...ok then
Gutted and upset I opened the door and began to step outside
HIM>Oh hang on we do a minute

A ray of light shone upon him,my hero of the hour.I ran to the counter

ME>How much ?
HIM>Um..£8.99

Yeah that ray of light went pretty damn quickly.£8.99 for a camera.Monkey making gits at Kodak Grrr !

ME>Um...I'll take it

At this point he doesnt seem to understand that im going to buy the camera,he's insistend on selling it to me,despite the fact im a busy man

HIM>Look see its got a flash there
ME>Yeah ok great,so thats £8.99
HIM>And 39 shots altogether
ME>Ok..superb,here's a tenner
HIM>And the battery lasts till 2005.
ME>Well hopefully I'll get it before then,theres a ten thanks.

So onwards to the party,for personal reasons Ive choose to drink hardly anything tonight.I dont want to become a binge drinker and someone has to keep an eye on the rest of the group.Plus im going thru cash like noones buissness.So two smirnoff was my limit.

Also at this point my extended thanks for lifts to
Mr Andrew Lacey
Mr Nigel Bachelor

So onto the party and...well it was ok,raffle was hardly fun.Highlight of the night for me was a bloke finding out that he'd missed out on a DVD player in the raffle by being in the toilet by the guy who got it when his ticket was drawn next.I mean talk about kicking you when your down...

So onto monday and after waking up feeling like crap on my sofa,i decide to do my psy c/w all day in the FLC.So for 5 hours,I slave away with only my Jackson CD for company.The result is a beautiful document which is about 500 words too long.I sometimes despair,I really do.
Top marks to J C Whiley for producing a classic psy lesson,'The Weakest Link'. I got all my questions correct which I was pathetically proud of.See how many you can get



1.Who is Fulham football clubs manager ?
2.What is Proxy Munchausen Syndrome ?
