where were you.

03/05/2009

The Bury St Edmunds stock-in was really great, not nearly as traumatic as some of the others I've done. Being the team leader wasn't as scary as I first thought although the first few hours were touch and go where I had everyone helping sort the shoe delivery - it was much better once we split into our proper teams and I knew exactly who I had working with me. I have to say that the whole store looks amazing, but I'm particularly proud of the shoe department. Pictures? Yes, okay, but only if you read the rest of the entry afterwards! ♥

I stayed in a hotel for one night for the stock-in and shared a room with one of the girls I work with. The room and the hotel was lovely, quite posh really! lol. But the room we had was freezing cold all night and I barely slept at all, I kept waking up every few hours. I was so cold, the bed wasn't that comfy after all and I had so much on my mind - a lot to do with the shop and the layout, but also other things as well.

I was texting Grant quite a lot on Tuesday evening after we'd finished on site. I suppose my workmates thought it was James I was texting, but no - I didn't text James at all on Tuesday, well, only once at night after he'd texted me first. That's bad. I told Grant I was staying in a hotel with people I barely knew and needed him to keep me entertained - it worked and he text me all evening right up until we both went to sleep.

Me and Grant had a rather interesting conversation while I was at dinner with my workmates. I asked him if he'd been staying at home licking his war wounds from his beatdown on Sunday. The conversation went like this:

G "I have a very long tongue but it won't quite reach the wound on my eye lol. x"

C "A long tongue...that's a valuable piece of information! lol. xx"

G "I've been told my tongue and my hands are my best physical features - not sure how happy I am about that though. lol. x

C "Hands & tongue, sounds promising...when are you free lol. x"

G "What would you say yours is? I'm free right now but I'm afraid to leave the house as someone might see me. lol. x"

C "Had people say that I have great eyes and smile, but that's so cliche! x"

G "Nice eyes, from your pics I'd definitely agree! It tends to be the first thing you notice on someone and that's where you leave your impression - a very good asset! x"

C "Aw thanks! lol. It's the stuff not in the pictures which is best...eyes are good though. You don't have too many pictures up on FB so I can't see yours but I imagine great things! xx"

G "I've only got one eye at the moment, so don't think too many great things. lol. I'm not very photogenic so I tend to stay away from the camera. lol! x"

C "I'm sure your one eye is very lovely! I'd still look. Send me a pic? lol. xx"

G "You got no chance of a pic! lol. x"

After that we spoke about his beatdown and if he was in pain, he's got some hefty painkillers and can't go to work because he's a project manager of a construction site. So, yeah, it was a nice way to spend an evening. I missed chatting with him like that, it's been such a long time. And I hadn't noticed until now while I was writing them out that he actually put an 'x' on the end of all his messages, he doesn't do that often so I try not to sometimes. I just thought that was a nice thing to pick up on! lol. I'm a geek!

It's only midday and I've text Grant twice already! lol. Last night he was invited out the house to his uncles on the premise that he had something new he wanted to show Grant, but it turns out his uncle had invited a lot of the boys from the construction site around just to laugh at Grant's beat up face! How rude! lol. So I asked Grant how that went in the first message, and then about some breaking news of my own in the second.

Well, that breaking news is this: I got a call this morning about that job I went for an interview for last week, the one at the same place where James works. Turns out they're offering me this job! It's a bit more money than I'm on with fewer working hours and weekends off. There's a bonus scheme which I'm in after 6 months service and that could add 10% on to my salary! It's all so overwhelming! I'm going to accept the job later on today and hand in my notice to Sue on Saturday as I know she'll be in our shop. James, Grant and Bloop are the only ones who know so far, I don't know how to go about telling anyone else! lol.

I want Grant to text me back! I know James kind of got me in there for the position, but without Grant I don't think I'd have had the guts to actually go for it and accept it. I just really want the chance to tell him that, although I did say I was 'way out of my comfort zone' and that Grant should be proud. So, we'll have to wait and see! lol.

EDIT
Grant text me back a few minutes ago. His reply:
G: "Hey check you out Miss - congratulations!! So, are you gonna take the job? Or maybe, play your current employer off against the newbie?! More money, hols etc! Well done, I am very proud. lol. x"

I'm giddy again. ♥
