When I'm not at work - today Monday -  is public holiday I can't get rid of the 'images'

they are constantly there - that's the problem I think I have been doing this too long...

On public holidays do you look at the time and think 'now it's time for lunch break'

or you think of what you would normally be doing at that time if you are at work....

Maybe part if it is because my life is very 'limited' - i don't have any 'friends'

do you have 'friends'?

My neck ache is very bad - it hurts a lot

I don't like customers asking me 'how are you?' it doesn't mean anything

I feel like telling them 'shift number one thousand four hundred and ....or is that one thousand three hundred and ....'

I wonder if I should try that next time .....

Then you get the customers who have been going for years and they can't remember the basics - it's really annoying - you reckon after all this time they should have learnt something but they never remember

The problem is because of my current problems I can't apply for another job as it would be too hard to find something that is not too far from home

Where you work is it far from your place?

In the morning I had one regular customer tell me that it was very busy in the shop...

but she said it to me when I was a few shops away - I was on the way there

So annoying...I don't care how busy she shouldn't mention it

She seems to be always talking about how busy it is - she can't control herself

I had one 'regular' customer - this was very annoying -

call out to me from another counter - I work in retail in a mixed business -

then after I 'called out' to reply to her 'greeting' - she went and told the other staff

that I was 'shy' .....

I have spoken to her before - does she have a memory problem recently I helped her

by explaining where to do early voting - it's not as if I never talk to her

I wasn't even facing her I was at my own counter so wy should I 'greet' her

And she shouldn't make any comments to other staff very very annoying

Must be something in the water around there
