Mood: Bored, I tell you.. BOOOOORED!!!!
Listening to: Some woman talking about some serial killer. I’ve been watching loads of documentaries on Youtube today. I don’t know what got me into it, but yesterday I started finding these 45 min. documentaries and I just added them to my “watch later” thingie.
To be honest it wasn’t all serial killers. There was this one docu. about a dude who molested his kids and step-kids. Very disturbing story. Even worse when he denied everything. I’m not shocked at the fact that he did deny it, but just the gruesomeness of it.
So, I was planning on talking a little about what’s been happening here for the last 4 month or so.
In May we decided that it was time to make a new patio on the front of the house, so we broke ground around the 10th of May and finished about 10 days later. I am really happy about how it turned out. I can finally use my hanging lanterns and other things I’ve been hanging on to for ages. Just in the hope that one day I’ll be able to use it. Yeah, I know. “Why, Lene, would you buy stuff if you’re not going to use it right away?”. Well, I could have used it on the veranda, but I just never bothered to. I have the same problems with all the t-light holders I have. I buy them because they are cute, but never use them. I’m terrible at using candles. Some people can’t stop using them… I just can’t seem to start. Which sucks since I have so much of it laying around.
Then Jan started helping a friend of his from work building a garage…AND starting to ruin a garden for another work mate… He finished the garage, but they are struggling with the garden. The owner wants the moon, but Jan is a realist and he knows he can’t deliver what the owner wants. And it doesn’t help that the owner doesn’t want to spend a lot of money. Which I understand, but come on. You can’t expect them to not spend any money. Even more so when they discover sewer lines and water mains and all that where they aren’t supposed to be. Ooops.
So yeah. Land slides, broken pipes, disappearing diggers, none existing trucks and disappearing people who said they would help (and who tell the owner that Jan won’t turn up as often and won’t help as much so that he (disappeared person) will get more money)… it’s starting to pile up, the problems. But the money grabbing s.o.b is really starting to piss me off. What’s worse is that he’s already gotten some money for doing the job… and he didn’t tell his wife about it. I’m glad I’m not her. Makes you wonder what she wants him to spend money on/save money for to make him keep it a secret. It’s a good thing I’m not a heavy drinker, or that little gem of a secret might have slipped in my drunkenness.
Oh, and I’ve been working. Two weeks we were without boss lady and next in command. I wouldn’t say they were hellish… at least not the first week. The second week, however… All of a sudden I had a storage room filled to the brim with candles and other stuff… and on the Tuesday I got more of everything. Boss Lady told me that, the week before, if we got a lot of pallets to put them behind Princess. And we really tried. On the Thursday we got more pallets and they were spread around the store because there was no more room in storage. And the guy delivering the pallets said he didn’t have the time to try and get them into storage because he had other stuff to deliver other stores. I almost cried, I was so pissed off at him. So we started to empty the pallets… and when 4pm came around I was out of there. Couldn’t sleep that night.. not very well. Kept going over stuff in my head. When I got to work on the Friday all the pallets were gone and a note left for me told me what to do that day. And then boss lady called me. And she was really sweet, not mad at all. She said she had told me to put the pallets in the empty Lindex lot (no, you said Princess… which is why this happened), so I said I had misunderstood and she said it was fine and all that. We did almost finish the new candle wall, so I must say I’m impressed with us.
So I had a weeks vacation. Well deserved, I might add. So now I have three weeks of work and then another weeks vacation.
I guess that makes you updated.
I can’t think of anything I’ve forgotten. It’s all the same old, really.
I still hate kids, especially in summer when school is out and they are in the store bugging the shit out of me, screaming their heads off and all that. There was actually an accident at the hardware store wall-to-wall with us. A girl and her brother was playing with a small pallet lifter and she got her finger cut off. Let that be a lesson to the rest of you kids. Don’t pick stuff up, don’t run around with it, my store is not a playground! AND PARENTS!!!! Mind your fucking kids! It’s not my job to teach your kids manners or to discipline them. My store is not a daycare center.
