    Okay lol. Hopefully I can stay sober tomorrow lmao.
    YOU DON'T SAY?
    Oh god! Lewandowski is a great striker. Another Dortmund player that will go to Bayern :(
    Nah, we don't get a seat. I think everyone who works on the checkout would kill for one. Personally, I don't think it'd be as bad, if we weren't scalded for leaning and got to move around a bit a little more. I really wish I could wear my normal running shoes, it's not like anyone would see them behind the checkout anyway.

    It wouldn't be too bad if I had to ask if people wanted to donate to charity or something, because that's a good cause, instead of for the company's gain.

    I think a good teacher can make a huge difference though. And that can be easily seen between the two physics classes. Everyone in my class got around 60-85% on their test, while the other class with a different teacher got around 75-95% on theirs. I mean I shouldn't really just blame the teacher, but really, anyone who lets the class go home 25 minutes early because 'it's too hot in this room' deserves some of it. I also shouldn't be able to show up to physics 10 minutes late and just sit down without missing anything. You get locked out if you do that in my maths class. (I actually will sprint to maths for 15 minutes to get there on time lol)

    That is actually something that I have thought about doing. Or working as a scientist flying in and out of some of Australia's big mines.
    I must say, working at a checkout is fine for the first hour or two. During that time, I'm really perky and time just flies by. Then my energy levels just drop and the rest of a shift is a drag. I think I should probably get some new work shoes. I guess when you're standing for a minimum of three hours, it really does matter. I have orthopedic soles in my work shoes, the problem is that it is thicker than the original ones, and my foot is too thick for the shoe. I remember over Christmas, I was working six hours or more every day and I'd come home every night and have to use RICE on my feet and ankles (Raise Ice Compress Elevate) because they were so swollen.

    It might be, they have so much of it in the store room, it's crazy. I feel like I'm insulting people by asking it. If there is a man and woman together, I'll direct the question at the woman, even if the man is the one buying the stuff.

    I know how much it sucks to fall ill and miss stuff. It's especially bad because when you're sick, you don't feel like doing any work. Physics is hard to catch up on for me. The teacher is useless, and he makes confusing notes and doesn't save them. Maths is good though, the teacher saves the notes every lesson, and is probably the one of the best teachers I've had.

    So what careers does that open up to then?
    Hi~ hint for the RP accept thread: maybe type out if it's the OOC or IC thread that's accepted (or both) like Skymin does. It'll make things less confusing :3
    I remember when I went for my first job interview, the guides on the internet were good, but yours was just as good, if not better. I'm actually glad I got to work at a checkout. I used to be so shy and have no skills when it came to talking to strangers whatsoever. I wouldn't say anything, even if it was just saying hello and asking how they were. Now I have confidence in talking to anyone for a little bit.

    I don't know why they want us to sell it so desperately. I guess the profit margin on it must be huge. They started giving us quotas as well. And they just keep growing each time we achieve them.

    That sucks that you missed some lectures, I know how hard it is to catch up on school work, even if you only miss one or two lessons. I'm pretty good, I'm on holidays for the rest of the week. I've got some homework to do, but I've just been relaxing mostly.

    So what were you studying then?
    Ahh i wish i could say that everything's awesome. My net's down since monday and i can only log on with my crappy phone. Cant even critique works in A&D because the speed on my phone sucks and i cant afford to enable the 'load images' option..

    Apart from that, i have this big exam coming up and i feel i'm not studying enough for it. Im trying...but yeah.

    What about things on your end?
    I really must thank you again for the advice you gave me for my interview. I hope you don't mind, but I let a friend read it to after I told them how helpful it was before they did their's, and they also send their thanks. Recording the interview was one of the components, and I thought I actually spoke a lot clearer then I normally do xD but I did say 'like' a lot. I got a little peak of what she wrote down, and I saw 'prepared', so I think that is a good sign lol.

    I think it'll also be helpful when I want to get a better job in the future. I really don't want to work out a checkout forever. They actually have recently started forcing everyone at the checkouts to ask every customer if they want to purchase lip balm. Even the old men lol. It feels like we're under pressure to sell it to. I just feel so rejected at the end of the shift. I think it annoys people as well when we ask.

    So how are things with you?
    Thanks :D I need really need to get to know more staff haha (I currently talk with like, 3)
    You missed a lot buddy. AVB's coaching was great tonight.
    I loved Defoe's goal too.
