My Birthday:')


Date; 28th of November
Start; 9:30
Finish; 3:30

Heya!
    Its my birthday today! I was in such a good mood going to work. All the girls sang happy birthday to me at lunch, and I went all red.
    I went in at half nine, and was greeted by Bea. There was no jobs to be done straight away, but as soon as the computer/till was on she asked me to stock a few things that were left over from yesterdays order. This only took a few minutes but it was very frustrating and complicated due to the fact that the computer was acting up.
    After I had finally done what Bea had asked me, Shirley wanted to know would I fix up the make-up section. I agreed cheerfully and went to do my job. I stated off with the hardest on first as I knew this would take a long time. There is five stands, each with a different make-up company. There was MaxFactor, Loreal, No7, Revlon and Estee Lauder. 
    There was trays underneath each stall in which I could fill up the empty spaces in order to make the stall look nice and clean. I had to take out a good few items, but that wasn't any hassle  The only problem is that it took so long! I also had to clan the testers and with some of the testers I had to throw away and find a new one.
    Soon, I had finished this and returned to the till counter. My back was aching at this stage but that wasn't going to change my good mood! Shirley came off her break as soon as I was finished with the make-up section. She then asked me to tidy up the perfume section, which I did.
      I started off with cleaning the desk, in order to clean the floors after. I swiftly put everything on the desk in order in different drawers. So the wrapping paper was all in one, and the crep paper was in another and things like that. Then I wiped down the counter after I had cleared it from all the wrapping stuff, and then went to sweep the flooring area at the perfume counter. I also put thing away that were left for Carol to do, but I thought I might as well do it as she was really busy at the moment.
        As soon as I had finished this task, I went on my lunch. I met up with Ciara again and we went for lunch. When I came back a few of the other girls were gone for their lunch. I really didn't feel well at this stage, but I refused to go home.
        Richard got me to do a stock check on a few of the shelves. I also tidied them up while I was there, pushing all the products to the front of the shelves to make them look neat and tidy. This also took a while, but at this stage I really didn't mind. After this was finished, I stood at the counter waiting for Shirley to come back with the stock I had to put out. In the meantime Caroline gave out to me for standing at the till, as she doesn't 'trust me'. I can understand this in a sense, but she had no right to talk me down. Richard had a word with her and she apologised for her actions before I went home.
          All in all this was a good but busy day, but I couldn't wait until I went home!

Halloween..



Date; 31st of October
Start time; 9:30
Finish time; 3:30



Hello There:)

   Today was alright I guess, but when I got home i had aches and pains everywhere and anywhere. I think this due due to the way I slept last night and the was my posture wasn't up to full standard.
   When I got in to work at half nine, Carol was rushed off her feet so I decided this world be a good time to help her. She asked me to do numerous things, but I didn't mind at all. Firstly, I emptied a trolley load of priced and scanned items. This took me about an hour, nut that was okay, I guess, it was better than standing around and doing nothing.
     Then I filled the trolley again, and emptied that after it was all priced and put on to the till. This also took me a while, but I soon got to go for a quick sit down. I had a lovely chat with Bea and she was telling me about all the robbery's in Celbridge the past few weeks. I found this very shocking, but I carried on with work. 
      After my little break, Carol had received an order and she asked me to help her with it, so I did! She showed me how and where important prescription go in the back of the shop. The have a number of white shelves and everything is labelled and put in alphabetic order, so it's easier to find. I was putting away alot of things for a while, but it was grand.
     There was loads of little kids coming in, and they were all excited about Halloween. I thought this was really cute, and it cheered the whole shop up! I was told to give out lollies to the kids that came in, I loved this as most children were really friendly and full of chat.
      Time flew by, between pricing, labelling  stocking and putting away things, it was time to head home. To be honest, I was delighted, as I was brushed off my feet the whole day.
