sigh…

I’ve just finished an other shift and I’m starting to feel like I am never away from the shop. I only work 39hrs a week but I’m always either there early or stay back to talk or finish what I’m doing. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job but I could do with a break (again, I took a week off in January). I suppose it’s a good thing that I have a weeks worth of holidays to take before the end of March then, huh?

My wages seem to be so little this month for all the work that I’ve done though. I keep forgetting that I put by £100 per month into a company savings account automatically and I can’t touch it until June/July. I love this scheme because there’s no way in hell that I would put money aside off my own back. It means I should be able to buy a little second hand car in the summer when I pass my driving test.

I’m applying to do a Trainee Manager’s Course with the company - out of 50 stores from anything from 7 to 30odd staff (at a guess) they only pick 4 candidates a year but I’m praying that I am one of them this year, I would love to do it and 3 of the 4 who did it last year are now managers of their own shops. That, sadly enough, is my absolute dream - a shop of my own to run (even if I don’t actually ‘own’ it). I know I probably won’t get to do it this year because I’ve only been a supervisor a few months but here’s hoping!

Anyway, to bed I must go - even though I’m off tomorrow I’ll still end up waking at 6am.
