I think I can squeeze a post in, to inform you that I am now employed, before I go to work. So here goes…
I am now employed!
…Finally. Although it’s not exactly a challenging occupation. I’m working at ‘The Sheep Shop’, for my mum. Yesterday was my first ‘proper’ day; I worked a whole 7 hours! On a lovely rate of ¬£5.50 an hour. So far my duties have included, selling a metre of ribbon to an OAP (our target market), and painting a third of an office with ‘crown period ‘petticoat’ matt emulsion. Which I didn’t expect to but managed to get all over my clothes, shoes, arms, legs, face and hair. I loved it!
However, before the painting, when I was a little less of a mess, I offered to go and collect my mum’s Ralph Lauren reading glasses from the opticians in the Square for her. I got there and walked through the door. I saw about 3 staff there and two customers, and it was pretty obvious that they all saw me, because they all proceeded to stare right at me until I got to the counter. Where the lady serving took what I believed was an unpleasant manner with me, interrupting me when I spoke and speaking to me in a very blunt tone. I wasn’t too happy. Walking back to ‘The Sheep Shop’, I became angry. That they had been so judgemental. I may have been wearing cut off combat pants, black scruffy trainers, and a baggy, black, Iron Maiden t-shirt with various beasts of the number 666 (or more fitting, the number 616 -as Qi informed me), as I walked into their blinding white, minimalist, empty store, but I’m almost certain that if I had walked in wearing the ‘norm’ of clothes, no one would have batted an eyelid. I am angered.
On a better note, I have learnt to knit. But I’m not exactly a pro yet. My forte at the moment is scarves. You now know what to expect for Christmas. 
I’m now late for work, so, best scoot.
Edit: To top it off the glasses I went to collect for my mum, after being repaired, were not even to an acceptable standard, and so need to be taken back! Oh, pictures from my sixth form prom (29/6/07) can be found here.
