COLD DARK ROOM

I love the brief pause before he knocks the cup off!

I have this very sweet fat white cat that is evil at breakfast time. She quickly learned that I have no problem ignoring her and rolling over to sleep some more, so the stinker always goes into my KIDS ROOM and tries to wake them up. She was the worst when I had a young toddler. If the toddler is awake...everyone is awake and she gets fed faster....EV-IL like the FRU-Its of the DEV-IL!

I worked in the women's clothes section of C & A one Christmas hols.
My job was to sit by the ladies changing rooms and count the number of items a lady took in, give them a matching number and collect the number and count the items on the way out. (people would try and nick stuff by wearing it under their clothes and jewellery stuffed 'accidentally' into pockets. )
Anyway it was quite entertaining at times, for though I wasn't allowed into the changing rooms on pain of death (or worse getting sacked and not paid), many women would come out to model their outfits for me and ask me what I thought. This was fine for dresses, coats, skirts and trousers, but variable for unmentionables, sometimes rather nice for me, sometimes a bit horrifying.
One day some girl ran out with a complaint and the police were called.
Another lady had gone in with a hand drill and had been silently drilling holes in the partition walls between the cubicles to watch the other women changing.
Takes all sorts.

EEEEEEWwwww...creepy!!!

I also think it's odd that they gave this job to a guy! Seriously-I would have felt weird handing a young guy the bras that I didn't want and I suspect he'd probably feel weird taking them to be shelved

View attachment 159438 I made these for Christmas presents! Handmade blackboards for the grandparents, a birdhouse for my grandfather, a picture frame for my sister and her boyfriend and a peppermint sugar scrub for several ladies in the family! I've been a busy broke college student

CUTE Michelle! My girls would love to have something like that in their rooms!

Didn't bother me at all.
it was forbidden for a guy to do that job, but I got given it one day when there were a shortage of available girls, or something, and i proved so popular, subtle and inconspicuous when needed, that they kept me on it.
As far as i'm aware, nobody complained and it was only two weeks.

This is a new world . Guys do girl work and girls do guys work . Hell some girls look like dudes and some dudes look like girls . No job is to big or to small when it comes to making a living .

Well that was thirty years ago and I rather hope I didn't look too much like a girl and yeah, i was grateful for the holiday job. I've swept streets, done washing up in kitchens and cleaned toilets, so not proud at all! And i enjoyed them.
Though I did have a job in a cake factory once that was awful, but only because the people were really horrid.
Night night!

Quite.
A job is a job.
Too many people are too fussy these days.
"ooh, i couldn't do that, it's beneath me!".
Even here in Morocco, where unemployment is 40%, most people will not do certain jobs, many will only work in a government job and others won't work except good money even if they have no qualifications and no experience.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

good mornooning all!

Good morning, John!!

Huurrahhhhh !!!!!

Miss Suki wanted to play all through the night. So I'm pretty tired.

Hi Ed, My sister's dog Fudge is coming to stay with me today for Xmas, she sleeps in my room and settles quickly but she snores very loudly, so I expect I'll be having a few disturbed nights too.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I feel for you. I'm a very light sleeper.
How are you?

Good thanks Ed. Just having a quick cuppa before I hit the shops again - mainly shop vouchers today for nephews and nieces so not too demanding. They have so much these days that I don't know what to get them anymore so they can choose for themselves. I don't see many of them very often now but I just can't bring myself to leave anyone out.
