Baaah to Work
So I turn up at work today to be told that I wasn't expected to be in; I'd gone home ill the Saturday before with some nasty back pains, and my boss didn't expect me in for about a week. So my usual job has already been assigned to someone else, and I ask if they still want me in, or if I should head back home (which I wouldn't mind, I only live a mile away).

"Nah, I'll find a job for you to do!"

says my manageress, and she does; sticking promotional stickers on every stationary product in the store. This is two aisles and several ends of aisles for your 'Back to School' 3 for 2 promotion. Four hours of painstakingly stickering several hundred items on shelves. Simple, but so damned boring; I was falling asleep halfways through it, but that could have been the late night I had before catching up with me. In any case, I was obscenely bored, and wish I'd never have gone in.

Fuckers.

On the other hand, I'm sorting out seeing a friend from Ibiza soon, who's visiting the UK. The bad thing is that she's still at the other end of the country, so I'm going to have to make a big trip out of it, but it should be worth it.

I'm also considering buying a HD-based MP3 player soon; I'm either getting a Creative Zen Xtra, Creative Touch (depending on reports when it's finally released), both with an FM radio wired remote, or get an iRiver H120, which has worse support, but is better in terms of features and file format support, but I'm unsure of which. No-one say anything about the iPod either, it's overpriced for what it is.

Glad to be going on holiday soon, no work for just over a week ;)
