A Tuesday Pick-Me-Up...

Tuesday was the pick-me-up of the week so far. And I'm only working for three days! (I know right, insane)...

Early in the day I was guiding a gentleman to the appropriate section when we started to discuss our education, and our writing. Dafuq? He said he had just finished his first novel and was getting it edited by some random for £1000 (stfu!). PhD and you're spending a Grand on getting the manuscript editted by a stranger? I don't think so. It was nice to discuss literal therory and story structure and everything again. It feels like it's been such a long time, and he was very supportive of my work, adding, before he left, 'don't stop writing.' It made me smile. 

Soon after I had a Lady come in who I had seen before. She'd been in before, but that wasn't it. So as I was showing her our selection of finely stuffed Money Boxes I asked, 'do I know you from somewhere?'. She looked at me oddly and denied it, like anyone would if you were asked said question by said man in the quietest section of a shop. I persisted: 'are you an actress?' she started to twig, and smiled replying 'yes.' 'Were you in Misfits?' I continued, and she finally caved, saying that she had been spotted. I knew it was her the first time she had come in, but I hadn't asked, and now I had, the Hot Parole Officer Sally from Series One was in my shop!


The day was getting on, and I had one final customer who either made my day, or called me fat. We were talking about facemasks. And I had said something along the lines of 'my face is too big to fit in that one.' I don't know how she took that, I have a big head, it's entirely in proportion to the rest of me I should add (ladies *creepy wink*), but a big head nonetheless. Her reply was simply 'like Mr. Incredible.' O-kay, I wouldn't have thought of it like that, but sure. She asked me to take it as a compliment, but whatevs. Two-out-of-three good things aren't bad like.

I'm getting more and more concerned that I'm going to be wasting my holiday most of next week, and I don't know what to do about it. It looks like in might be raining. Everyone else is in work. I might try and meet some new people, but I can't be bothered at the moment, I know loads of people. I might go walking around in the rain or catch-up on some movies and stuff. I don't want to go holidaying by myself somewhere, because let's face it, that's sad, no matter the holiday. I guess I might just stay in and play xbox or write or something. 

Balls...

Carpe diem...
