Tomorrow is going to be a crazy one in work. We are stocktaking, which means me, the boss and our area manager stay in the stop after we close (10pm) to download the guns to the computer and then check any discrepencies. We’ve done this 3 times before and been lucky to leave by 2am!

Stocktaking isn’t actually too bad in its self, it’s just that there is so much stock in our shop that everybody needs to work at least a couple of hours tomorrow and do nothing but count. At least it’s all done by computers and scanners. I would not like to stocktake manually. That sounds horrendous.

Obviously I want this stocktake to go well, if we can account for nearly all of the stock that we’ve bought into the store the manager & supervisors get an additional bonus which is always nice. Saying that, we have been hit by a lot of shoplifters recently despite my heroic antics trying to stop them.

I got my first payment from PayPerPost yesterday. Granted it was only £2.40 or something but it’s nice to see some cash in my PayPal account. I have an other payment from them today for $12 but I can’t accept it, I keep getting a 404 which is rather annoying. I just want my money. I’ve emailled their support team so I’m just waiting for them to sort it out for me.

I’m also looking to sell a few clothes and books on eBay, or even just via message boards, just to raise some extra cash for my driving lessons. One thing I’ve realised about having to go to H.O every month is that I’m going to loose hours. They cannot pick me up at the shop so I either have to make my own way there or meet somebody from an other shop and get a lift with them, so it ends up that there’s no point me going to work first thing in the morning since I’ll need to leave as soon as I get there to go all the way back to the office. Not that I’m complaining about a lie in every fourth Wednesday, in fact today I took a half day since I’m owed hours.

It was such a great day to take a half day aswell! The sun is still shining and I have caught the sun quite nicely on my face and chest area. Makes a change from me being milk bottle white, I’m now slightly burned. I’m thinking about going up to the shops to buy cigarettes and jumping into the sunbeds for a quick 3 minute session just to intensify any colouring I got today. Although knowing my luck I’ll end up looking like a lobster.
