Again i would like to apoligise for the lack of blogging that has been going on with me in the past few weeks. As you can imagine one can be very busy over the xmas period.
Anywho i just thought i would give an update on what has been happening in the past few weeks.
Basically from the end of November to the 3oth of December my life has been consumed by job in River Island. They basically threw hours at me and there were very few days in that time period that i had off work.
Its difficult to sum up my job there as it had its good days and its bad days. I ended up working behind the tills in the womens section (busier than Mens you could imagine) and for all that time it was pretty stressful. Im glad i was working there though as i was constantly kept busy and the time in there really did fly compared to previous jobs i have had. Anyway the people in there were pretty hit and miss. Some people were sound and some people were absolute wank stains.
Nearly all the guys who work there are gay and they are all really sound bar one who happens to be the biggest bitch on the planet and we are talking queen B material.
Now we had a staff party the saturday before xmas. I wasnt even going to go due to my inevitable shyness and the fact that i knew people there but i didnt really know them well . Eventually i said fuck it. im going to go, what did i have to lose anyway? Took me 2 buses and alot of avoiding eye contact with scumbags and junkies to get there. I walked in to the party to see people all enjoying themselves in there own little groups and immediately i felt shy and awkward. So what did i do in this situation? Went straight to the bar and i probably had 3 pints in the space of 30 minutes to ease the nerves. Eventually two guys i work with who are also christmas temps like me arrived and we ended up hanging out for the night and having a great time. It was turning out to be a great night! Anyway from what i can remember, there was this girl giving me some serious attention on the dancefloor which didnt bother me at all! So i ended up chatting her up and giving her a kiss and basically looking like i was with her. Now at this point i didnt realise that nearly everyone who works in RI loves a bit of gossip and its basically like a mini soap opera in there. Unfortunately this wasnt going through my mind at the time.
I went home anyway, paid a substantial amount of money for a taxi and hit the hay. I had work at 10am the next morning and i ended up being late and driving there whilst still intoxicated, seriously bad move but hey i was hungover and had no way to work. Got there and had the longest day of work in my life thus far, it was just horrible. Through that day i had colleagues filling me in of my actions the night before and always pointing out that i was with this girl which they thought was hilarious. Unfortunately for me i couldnt remember what this girl looked like so i for all i know she could of been in the room where everyone else was slagging me off!
Ah just another good night out for Sean!
Basically the following week this one guy who works in RI who like i said is a total little bitch ended up telling everyone about it, even the managers! Id actually love to deck the little pansy fuck but it would probably just cause more trouble than it would be worth.
Overall it was a decent enough job, got on well with most people but the only thing about it is that nearly everyone who works there are still in secondary school and are all nearly 17 years of age. This actually makes the place difficult to endure as it just constant gossip and bitching and hassle!
Anyway i didnt get kept on, apparently one of the managers had me on her list of the people she wanted to keep on but unfortunately the way things panned out they couldnt give me enough hours. Ah well.
So my xmas basically consisted of working in that place, with the odd spell of drinking and eating.
Back in Limerick now for the first time since late October/early November. I must say its good to be home but unfortunately i had alot of news coming my way which has actually turned my little world upside down.
All will be explained in the next post!
Till Next Time.
