…and decided to work on the site. It’s amazing what only having access to the internet on the weekends does to me. I forget about this place and concentrate on my Bebo or something because it’s easier to keep in touch with people.
To be quite honest I haven’t been up to much recently, working mostly. I feel that it’s dragging me down because I take my job too seriously and I’m stressed to my eyeballs at the moment. So much going on which I can’t really talk about - but my mum’s not talking to me and I’d give anything to move out again.
I’m doing some updates around this place today while the boy’s watching Tank Overhaul on UKTV History. He’s such a WWII geek! I hope he realises that I’ll be changing the channel at 7pm when Who’s on. One more week and Cptn. Jack’s back….
Oh and best news ever - StarBucks is coming to East Kilbride! No more having to go into town for a frappe, yas!

Today I attended my head office for an exam, which is required by all supervisors since our shops are off-sales. I was absolutely dreading it, for no reason other than I hate exams. Don’t get me wrong, I did great with my school exams but I hate the thought of being tested. The day started at 10am and we did a lot of writing, going over obvious things like trading hours that Scottish shops with a license are allowed to sell alcohol (8am-10pm Mon-Sat, 12.30-10pm Sunday if you’re interested) which we all knew anyway, but then it got into the more un-obvious stuff. Anyway, we sat the exam at 3.30pm and I was finished it for 3.40pm. I swear, it was only 25 questions like
‘What technique is not advised by the board to prevent crime in an off-sale?’
- Teach all staff martial arts
- Install CCTV
- Ensure all windows have shutters
- Install an alarm system
I mean, come on! I’d to get 19 out of 25 so I hope that I passed! I’ll find out next week, so here’s hoping.

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!
