Hideousss..

Wow. Just tried on my Waitrose uniform. The trousers are fitted terribly! They're made to be high waisted, so they're up past my belly button (The top ball of my belly bar pokes out of the top :S :P) so at least the crotch is where it's supposed to be, but it makes them really short. But I don't really have any other choice because they aren't made to go down by your waist .. and even if they could fit there (Which they can't, even though they're a size 12 .. as my size 10's haven't come in yet (Don't think i'll need them though -- serious ankle swingers!!)) the crotch would be extremely low and i'd look like a plank. So basically, i'm stuck with them. They look terrible, and made me feel extremely fat. Nice one! I hate when I get in one of these moods! Been feeling like this for a while though, so i'm going to stop it before my clothes don't fit anymore. I could be exaggerating, but if I don't feel good about myself then things obviously have to change.

Had my induction today at half 9. Adam said it would only take half hour, whereas Iain said when he has his at Tesco's it took him 9 hours! They basically gave us loads of paperwork to fill out about pay and tax and stuff, then we were sat at computers (there was only two of us though thankfully, otherwise the paperwork side would have taken AGES!) and had to go through 10 different training programmes. Fire safety, how to pick up a box, till training, good customer service .. too many to name. I think i've actually blacked out and forgotten it all because it was so boring. But I did learn what fire extinguisher goes with what type of fire though! I think i'll pick it up pretty easily :) Then we had a tour round the whole building, and I was given my locker and key fob (Which you top up on a machine and use to buy lunch?! It's well cool! You can even order dinner and have a cooked breakfast and lunch and stuff!) and theres machines where you can buy microwavable dinners to cook on the counters at the back of the dining room. It took me four hours! But luckily I got paid for it, meaning I earnt £25! I was actually really shocked! They look after their employee's so well in comparison to WHSmith! It's so much more professional and everyones needs are catered for! I can't wait to start working there and earn some real money :) Sad to leave WHSmith though .. but some things have got to be done.

Not looking forward to working this weekend though.
Friday: 9-2.30am (Get home at half 3 probably!) The Square
Saturday: 8.30-1.30 - Waitrose
2-6 - WHSmith
10-2.30am (Get home at half 3!) The Square.

So basically .. i'm going to be knackered! But i'll be earning about £100 this weekend, that's without the £30 EMA i'll be getting on sunday, and the £30 pay from 2 weeks ago from the Square going in tomorrow :D But now I need to start being serious with money, and start saving! I'm actually looking forward to seeing the money in my incentive saver keep going up, and having 3% interest going in. Wow i'm sad!

Because the induction went on for longer than I expected, I didn't end up going into college. Missed media and ICT. But i'm ahead in media, and we're only doing a practise task in ICT. I know I should be there for the practise but when we do the real thing for the coursework on monday, you basically get walked through it anyway .. and i'd already lost my EMA for the week (Lucky I got paid! That makes up for it :D) Wow, i've wrote a lot today!
Just waiting for Lauren and her friend Fleur to come round, 'Britains Got Talent' audition came through the post when I got in, so I texted her and they're all excited to come home and see if they got through. If they did, they get to meet Simon Cowell! Hahaaaa! Funny. I hope they do, they're seriously talented. But to get on that show you need to either be like Mariah Carey or be hideously bad! It makes good television I suppose. I just hate seeing people disappointed! I remember when I didn't get through last year, I was a little bit upset but what was more annoyed was everyone coming up to me trying to find possible reasons for why I didn't get in. They seemed more upset than I was!! That was annoying, so I just didn't mention it :P

Right .. i'm done for now. Essayyyy! Bye :)
