Evening all.
6pm here and thought I'd spend the next hour writing to you. Sean is in the office / spare room doing spin on his road bike with trusty mac advising him what to do.
I went to spin class this morning at 6 am and got shouted at what to do. Which I have to say did get easy then I didn't go for a week because of being in Sydney with work and now I feel like I'm back to square one. Hey ho.

So my week last week was erm. ... OK. The first 2 days I did nothing but pillow fluff which actually after 8 hours of doing I was glad by the 3rd day to be in the wardrobe part. I've found the answer to all the questions asked by customers is simply say "just follow the path and you'll see/get it" works a treat. Sean was not impressed when I told him this. But what does he know.
The 4th day I was more prepared and took initiative and shut all the wardrobe doors that were open, even the ones customers had just opened and were looking in. This did actually catch me out, as one couple asked me if I could help them. They wanted a massive wardrobe with massive storage which cost not a massive lot hehe.
It was mainly for dresses, anyway I was so confused by the end of it I didn't know whether I was coming or going and when putting it through the computer system I some how added on extra delivery to an already pick and deliver service, which my colleague from the store told me that's something I shouldn't have been able to do and how did I do it? I have no idea, I have literally no idea how the computers work let alone adding additional services to it. So he had to start the whole thing off again from scratch. It wasn't like I'd spent 30 minutes in the first place trying to put the order through. Sigh.

This week I'm back in Canberra and have been building chest of drawers, I can actually hide in a wide 3 drawer one quiet well, (before the drawers are in of course) I know this because I have been doing it just now and again when the tiny screws keep jumping out of my hands and I'm resisting having a diva fit. I take a minute a sit in the chest of drawers. Try it, it's quite liberating.
Had an epic fail today, I managed to put all the right runners on the left side and the left ones on the right side and only realised when I came to put the drawers in. Massive sigh. My friend actually did exactly the same 2 hours later which I was VERY pleased about.

My first blunder of the week was miss over hearing a very lovely man who's old enough to be my dad say he'd lost a screw, or that's what I heard. Ever the helpful thing and any excuse to stop building chest of drawers call over, "are you looking for a screw" no reply just wide eyes staring back, un-deterred like I am and not realising what I'd just said, shout a little louder "I can give you a screw if you'd like" then the penny drops and I realise what I've just said so simply say "no screw needed today then" still no reply so I bow my head down to the table at the 5 million screws left over and make a mental note to self not to offer people screws.
I may have also asked my manager today if he'd like me to sort his drawers out, he didn't look impressed with my offer either. Sigh.
The good thing about work is that there's a really good looking guy there and it brightens my day seeing him now and again 😊
