Destination JAPAN

I don't like to go on. Actually no, I love to go on. Especially when it's about me. But my hands are too fat to type, like Michelle McManus has been stung by several bees, so I'll just bullet point my previous months

• Decided "actually ney, I don't want a 2nd chance at education, I'm just going to stay here and sell shoes for another year"


• Frankie bore a child, Hendrix, he's right adorable


• The Graphics Crew came to a timely demise, for good.


• Natalie and Jess resumed post in FRANCAIS


• Lost ended! BOO!


• Maude Flanders appeared in another Simpsons flashback. AWESOME.


• I turned 20, and spent the morning of my birthday drunk, dressed as Meg Griffin with a Mime, a clown, a gangster, a cow, Freddy Mercury, and David and Josh, dressed as daywalkers, at the Brockett waiting for it to open. Enjoyable.


• I had to bid farewell to Ayler, Nami and Brendan and Akiyo, as they went home to Japan. Sad days, but I like to dwell on the positive. And Skype exists, so its getting better


• I then decided, hang on, Japan is nicer than England, I'm gonna move there in January 2011 me!
  
• Continue to work at JD. New people joined. Mostly good. MOSTLY.

Caught up. Good? I'm sure you'll be able to find me on someones photos in the background looking like a milked cow.

It's bad that 2 years on, I still don't have much to talk about. Everyone else appears to have done something with their lives, but saying that, I'm relatively happy and I'm clearly the Chandler of this little game. So whatever, it'll all work out when I win the lottery. At least 2 years ago we didn't have Jedward: Let Loose. Tuesday at 9 on ITV2.

Currently in life, I'm having a reasonably fun time! I have lovely friends, most of which are laid back and I'm a high maintainence burden. But my charm makes up for it. I lost a few good people this year, but I firmly believe if all is meant to work out, then it will. And as long as everyone's happy doing what they're doing, then so be it :). I basically have a routine set up; Quiz on Monday, Free play (usually work) Tuesday-Thursday; Wigan Friday; Work Saturday-Sunday. That's about as busy as it gets, and as you can see, it doesn't get very busy. I also worked out there's not much point attempting a love life when you're hanging around waiting for something that's never gonna happen, no matter how much it seems like it is at the time. But, look at me, I won't be on the shelf much longer.

Do you know what I don't like? The following situations when selling shoes:

• "Can I have this in an 8 AND a 9."
  No- Learn your size. Or get off your stupid face and do some parenting and discover your child's shoe size, or keep your womb emptier next time


• "When you were in the back getting my shoe, taking time out of your day, I saw this other shoe I like better, can I have this one?"
  No- You don't go into a resteraunt, order chicken and then go "ACTUALLY NEY LAD IM GUNT FURT HAVE STEAK INSTEAD." Nobody will put up with your shit, why should I? Granted, I don't slow roast a shoe, but still, have a fucking look around first!


• "Can you feel his toe?"
  No- Refer back to the closage of your womb. Bend the fuck down and do it yourself


• "Do you have this in a size 6 and 2.354? No? Why not?" *Sulks*
  No- What the HELL do you think we have back there? A factory? Am I supposed to make shoes for your ridiculously fussy feet? LEARN TO FIT IN THESE ONES. Or get out.


• "Can I have discount off, these shoes are on display"
  No- They've been on display in a shoe shop. Not a zoo. What's really the worst thing that could have happened to/in this shoe.


• "Do you work here?"
  No- I just tend to walk around JD in a top saying "JD Crew", relacing shoes. I'm the Mother Teresa of the footwear community.


• "You know these shoes on the rack, are they the last ones or do you have more?"
  If you took a second of your time to look upwards, there's a sign saying "Last Few". I'm not your mother, do some investigating.


• "Can you get that shoe there for me" *Nods towards wall*
  It's a big wall pal, wanna narrow that one down?
  
• "Have you got them PTs wiv black"
  Black, is a reasonably popular colour. Come on.

Seriously, I'm a nice person. I'm never going to say ANY of these things to a customer, because I don't want to be punched. But yeah, COME ON.
NIGHT xx

Ps. Welldone Myke for getting out of the country, and doing something.

Also apply this to Natalie, Jess, Rachael, Emma and various other bastards who abandoned me.
