Well, haven’t I been a busy girl recently? Along with working over 45 hours a week I’ve managed to find time to work on my management training program quite a bit (currently sitting at 25,000 words!), arrange all my Christmas shopping before I even get paid and go and buy it all and set up two websites for clients! Granted the clients in question are family friends but still - it’s great to have something to add to my folio again. You’d never think that I could actually code a website from scratch considering both my website and livejournal are themes that I’ve tinkered with a lot!

As of next week I’ll have finished my Christmas shopping, paid off the remainder of my debt and finally had a night out with my old boss - it’s the shop’s Christmas night out on the 8th December and I can’t wait! It might just be a pub dinner and then heading into Glasgow city center afterwards but it’s going to be a blast since I haven’t seen boss-lady in a while and a few of the other guys that are going no longer cover my shop so I’ve not seen them in ages either!

It’s a shame that I won’t have my new camera by then, since I’m getting it for my Christmas from the boyfriend, but hey - I’ll take lots of camera phone pictures!

So, ladies and gents, what is Santa bringing you this year?

Yes, I am one lucky girl. I worked 6hours Sunday and Monday, had Tuesday off, did 8 hours yesterday and I’m off again today. Only to work 8 hours tomorrow and have Saturday & Sunday off.

It was quite amusing how I ended up with today off actually. The AM worked a 15 hour shift on Tuesday as the BS supervisor called in sick. So instead of calling me he just called our manageress and said he’d quite happily stay and do the rest of the shift. Which is fair enough, we’ve all done it. Then I found out that he was taking today off to make up for it. Uhh, right. I already planned to have today off to make up for the extra hours I’ve pulled over the last month. I didn’t have anything planned but I knew that my period was due today and I’d rather sit online drinking coffee and hot chocolate all day than be working in pain. Anyways, I got today off since the AM isn’t working his Sunday shift and failed to mention that to our area manager. I never take time off, even if I’m due back hours. I just needed to have today off. I’m sure that he hates me, really. He’s applied for the Trainee Manager’s Programme too, possibly because I did and I’m 12 years younger than him, only a supervisor and have less experience. Fuck it, I really want on that course.

Anyways, that looks like an other rant about work. I know I make it hard to see that I love that place & my job - but I do really.

Since I’m off today I have so much that I want to do to this site, especially adding a Flickr plugin to show all my pictures and updating my reading list and maybe even writing a review or too. I also, seriously, need to fix the issue with MSIE and my themes. I have no idea how they broke, but I need to fix them.

So, I’ve been a bit busy between work and designing. God I forgot how much I adore coding. I’ve added a few things here and there. most noticeably the Get Reviewed section since I have such an obsession with reviewing websites.

I also realised that IE hates my themes. Uh, dude how did that happen? I’m gonna sort it all out over the course of the next few hours,as well as reply to all the comments made here.

Oh, and am I the only one diggin’ Britney’s shaved head?? I think it looks sort of cool. Okay it was a cry for help (apparently) but she has proved time and time again that she doesn’t care what people say or think about her and to be honest it looks better than that scraggly trailer trash extension thing she had going on!
