I am going to have so much overtime in my wage sheet next month! Today I did a 11.5 hour shift (granted it was 7am-12noon then 7pm-1.30am) even although it’s my day off and I start again at 7am tomorrow morning. We were stock taking and I had to be in this morning to do my departments (wines, spirits, beers, ciders and cigarettes) as they need to be done first thing in the morning then I was in again tonight to do the discrepancy check and re-count with my manageress and store controller (a fancy name for an area manager). Tonight was good though as I didn’t actually start working until about 10pm as the count was done quicker than I imagined throughout the day.

I am, however, absolutely dead on my feet. The only reason I’m opening the shop tomorrow morning is because a rep from our fruit & veg supplier is coming over to do marketing techniques with me to try and boost our already increasing sales from fruit, veg and flowers. I’ve sort of taken over the f&v part of the shop as I’m so OCD-ish about the orders being done right and the stock being put on the shop floor correctly. I’ve lost count of the amount of times that I’ve gone to get something and the apples are next to the potatoes (in the chiller no less - potatoes shouldn’t be in the fridge!) and carrots are in the same tray as bananas. Does my head in because I work had keeping it clean and tidy and writing up wastage every day that I’m in.

I’m interested in earning some extra cash from the internet, does anybody have any ways that they make money online, like referrals or something? I know there’s google ads but I don’t like the thought of adverts on a site that gets ~50 hits a day. I’ve seen people using PPP, but what are the paybacks like. Does it even allow UK sign ups? If you have any money making ideas please let me know and if I sign up I’ll use you as my referral (obviously!).

A quick favour to ask firstly. Does anybody have either a link or download of the WP plugin that allows you to display commenter’s links at the end of the entry? The links I keep finding are down or a 404 :(

I don’t know why I’m sitting on here. I need to leave for work at 3.05pm and I still have to tidy up a little (or my mum will kill me when I get in from work!), do my hair and grab a bite to eat. But yet I’m still sitting on my laptop browsing lavish.nu.

I had such a good weekend even though I was working Saturday dayshift and Sunday backshift. The boy and I slept for most of the weekend as we’re both so tired - he started his new job last Monday and he’s not used to 7.30am starts! We watched a lot of Battlestar Galactica as he got season two on DVD for £9.99 in Virgin Megastores. I’m sure it’s about £49.99 in HMV. I don’t even like BSG that much but I enjoyed just sitting and watching them while snuggling up and drinking Bacardi Breezer since there was no juice in the house!

I’ve started doing my exercise DVDs again - I finally found them. You see half my stuff is in my mums house and half of it is in my grans - I was only supposed to be staying in my mother’s for 2 weeks until I got my keys to my new flat but that fell through and I’ve been here a year now!

So anyway, I’ve been doing Carmen Elektra’s Aerobic Striptease and I absolutely love it. It’s not exhausting and keeps me on my toes. There’s also the small fact that I think Carmen Elektra is one of the most beautiful women on the planet so that’s keeping me paying attention. Also been trying the Coleen McLaughlin one but that’s a bit too fast-paced for me at the moment as I get out to breath far too easily and when that happens I just want to give up. Between them and the fact I’m trying to cut out bread from my diet and grabbing myself a pedometer when I get paid on Friday to keep account of how far I’m walking each day and adding to it every week I’m on plan to loose the extra half stone I want to and tone up my thighs and arms.

Anyway, I need to get my skates on and get to work!

I have moved into my new home at misstuned.com. First I’d like to thank my host, Deanna Marie, for hosting my website and I think you should all go visit her!

Along with the new site address (now melissa.misstuned.com) I’ve updated a few things around the site, mainly being a brand new install of WordPress 2.1. So far I’m loving it, the small changes like saving a draft copy of your post and nicer admin menu are making me a happy girlie! God, I am such a geek that a new menu gets me smiling.

Also included in the upgrade of emerge is the LightBox feature - you can see it in action on the photographs page - it’s funky as anything.

I have the worst tooth ache, ever. My mouth is constantly throbbing and I can actually feel my teeth pressing against each other. I have two crowns (my front two teeth) which I’ve had since I was about 13. The tooth next to one of the crowns is slightly ‘twisted’ to the side and is twisting more and more as I get older. So the side of the tooth is pushing up against my crown and my god IT HURTS. Oh and on top of all that? I have an abscess on the same side of my mouth!

I’ve just gotten my mother to lend me £4 and take me to the SPAR near my house to get painkillers as there are none in the house. £3.70 for Nurofen! I should know that - the SPAR’s owned by the same company mine is! Since she ran me up she got me to get her a bottle of wine. Which is no problem except I didn’t have my ID with me. The woman asked me for it (our company’s policy is ID under 21 even though the legal limit is 18) and I said ‘Oh god no, I should have it - I work for *****, I know I need it.’ And she put it through!!. That’s shocking beyond belief since she was wearing a manager’s blouse and not a shop assistant’s one. I’m absolutely shocked.

Uh, anyway I am going to die quietly in the corner now.

Finally I have gotten around to actually setting up a web site again. As usual it was due to surfing the net and getting needy for a pretty website to write my thoughts too again (which, of course, isn’t my livejournal).A proper introduction is in need. My name is Melissa and I’m 20. I live in the (at the moment very snowy) wonderful city of Glasgow, Scotland and am a web designer working as a supervisor in SPAR 5 days a week to pay off my debts and keep my mind from rotting.

The soundtrack of my life includes Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and Franz Ferdinand as well as a thousand other artists. Music=♥=life. I can’t play an instrument to safe my life but I make up for it with listening. My laptop is a huge MP3 player, backed up with my trusty iPod and o2 Ice phone for when the battery runs dead!I have a gorgeous boyfriend, whom will be referred to simply as C, of 4 years who is my rock. Most weekends are spent lying in his bed watching TV shows like Torchwood, Doctor Who, CSI and NCIS and smoking far too many roll-ups and drinking way too much coffee.

At the moment I’m using a pre-made theme for WordPress until I get my copy of PS CS2 back from my friend! But don’t knock it, I’ve messed about with it a little a lot!
