The Horrors of Work

The Horrors of Work
No; Really.

Well, times are hard, right?  Unemployment is at it's peak in the last 20 years or so, but i've never been too bad ... I was in part-time work, and have been for the last two years for Sportsdirect.com, granted it was rather unpredictable, but it was work and money coming in, right?  Well, i decided to leave that place, because let's face it, the basic hiring requirements for that place are the ability to string a sentence together and an ounce of common sense - and let me tell you, the latter was not a requirement, at least, judging by the people that were taken on.


There was an advert in my local paper for a job or 77, with a new store opening in the local shopping centre, for a company, predominantly English, who were expanding into Scotland - Which was awesome, a completely new company - at least as far as i was concerned - with a completely new name to promote and sell.  I think i did pretty well in the interview i mean, i got the job didn't i?  Although, i remember sitting in the kinda waiting area, waiting on this interview, and i saw one of the guys doing the interviews and i thought to myself, he's got to be gay ... Little did i know that this guy would turn out to be my assistant manager!  And that a few weeks later i would randomly tell him this on our first night out together. 

So, it's not been too bad, this place has been a lot of laughs, the people, the floor - odd story, people kept falling as it was incredibly slippy ....

So yeah ... I thought i'd at least introduce the topic of work because, no doubt, i'll be err ... 'commenting' on it a lot ...

Peace.
