burntcopperTrying to get feeling back into everything below waist. Which is annoying, because that's the bit that does the exercise...
Spent a while after work taking down sale. *Joy*. Just glad I wasn't on window duty this time, as windows are a bugger.
Also getting even more irritated with Keith, t'boss. Has immense martyr complex. Tonight it was 'Oh, I work til at least 7:30 every night (we close at 5:30) and I'm not getting paid for it.' Us, including the assistant manager went 'File for time in lieu, mate.' Him : 'Oh, I'm a realist, I won't get paid for it, I never did at my last job.' Paul, Asst manager and general decent bloke with taste for punk music. 'They're normally pretty good about it here.' Keith whines some more. We looked unimpressed at said whining. We don't care about your sacrifice. Stop whinging or don't do it, the rest of us wouldn't if we weren't getting paid.
Also, going to start applying for earlier lunches, like everyone else, rather than taking my lunches last because my stomach doesn't mind getting food as late as 2:30. However, I fucking mind when Keith goes for lunch (eventually, as he always finds little tasks to do while I yell at him 'Keith! Bloody go to lunch!'), is seen to go for lunch, and then I see him working a while later. He's been there half an hour, so I tell Paul when it's calmed down a bit that I'm going for lunch. Get sweater on, start to head out, when Keith whines from behind me 'Oh, I only took ten minutes because I saw it was busy.' Me : 'Fine. I'll get my food then you can have the rest of yours.' Get back, he doesn't take it for another half hour, finding little tasks again, while I yell. Eventually when he comes back on the floor I enquire if I can take the rest of mine. Paul explains that this is why they apply for early lunches. Christ. It wasn't busy. We could handle it. You only come on the floor if you're asked. It's your lunchtime, not the store's, and this is why I stay out of the store for lunch, as that way you're not interrupted in any way shape or form by people wanting stuff from you. Stop with the fucking martyr act!
