Laziness


Current Mood: Lethargic

Lately, I've been so lazy. Sure, I've been working almost everyday...but on the days which I don't work, I'm off sleeping until 12 or 1pm, get up to have a brunch and then go to my room and sit in front of the computer all day. I need something more meaningful to do, right? Last holidays, at least I attempted to knit...I mean, I couldn't even be bothered blogging!

*sigh*

Then, when I do go out, for example bike riding to the beach, I just felt so drained, like I could barely muster the energy to stay awake, let alone pedal.

Retail is draining! But I love my department. I mean, for me, it's right next to the perfume section, a dream come true! I've got quite a range of perfumes that I like and a lot of reps that I know, so if I do buy a perfume, I'd get plenty of samples! I've painted my nails in Chanel, done makeup by YSL, used skincare by Shisheido. Wow! But it can also get very boring. I'm mean I was in Manchester today, and I was never bored. I was only folding towels, but that gives me something to do and I can do it while I'm half dead. I'd probably get sick of it after 2 or 3 shifts, but the point is that there's always something to do, whereas in my department, there's only so much makeup that you can tidy, there's only so many perfumes that you can smell. Also, another thing is that it's very satisfying to find a full set of towels for someone, or trying to find a towel or a bath mat that will match their bathroom. It's almost like an interior decorator, which I wanted to be for maybe 2-3 months.

Anyway, back to my point of retail is draining, I swear, people need to grow eyes!! If you do have a pair, GROW ANOTHER! Samples...it is LABELLED! Labelled, I tell you! Clearly says 'tester', don't go bloodly opening another one! And if it's sealed, it means something: DON'T OPEN! Some people just don't have common sense. There's a tester IN the box with ALL THE SAME lipsticks in it. Don't go opening and USING new ones! We then have to go tidying up after everyone's mess. Even in manchester, people go and unfold the towels and just dump them in the table right next door! For goodness sake, all you need to do is to twist your body around, or reach just that bit further and it'll be in the original place. People!

Well, now that I've vented....
Go buy something!

wow, buddy, you blogged!!

hehe...sounds like you're having the time of ur life at myer. I think you need to just be grateful for having so many shifts, getting such high paid job and being given something to do these hols. I'm struggling to find stuff to do, but some time alone is good also. I spent two hours churning through magazines and articles yesterday after my student bailed on me,
