It's been a while I know. Due to working FULL TIME (have I mentioned that before?) I now have no time to shop, no time for coffee with the lovelies and worse no time to blog. Sob and sigh.
Any how...During my working weeks I have been been building A LOT. ...I am now a master and am pretty very awesome. I still hide in the wardrobes (see attached picture) this was taken this morning while I fitted the trouser pull out hanger to it. After taking said photo I realised I was being watch by another co-worker so in true Maddi style I just shrugged and said "I'm British" he looked as confused as me trying to find my way around the store. (Getting lost is a daily thing for me). Sigh 😕😣 As you know this is my favourite phrase and excuses me for pretty much every thing (well in my head it does)
A few blunders I either said or done over the last few weeks are...During the weekly store huddle (yes we have a weekly huddle, we also have a daily huddle... please feel free to message me further on this and I'll let explain in great detail) The store manager during the weekly huddle asked "hands up who's had a good week" What I heard him say was "hands up if you haven't had a good week" I was amazed by people's honesty, one of the team leaders sat near me was gobsmacked and bowled over at mine.... 😣 sigh.
This is also the store manager who quite rightly has been going around taking photos of the stores progression and when he walked past me last Friday, making bed slats I say "Oh come on, I'm always on the floor when you take my picture"
I didn't realise how it sounded until a few days ago when I told Sean that I made our manager chuckle for the first time. Sean thought it was hilarious and so did our friends when I repeated it to them. Double sigh.
Remember the old guy I offered a screw to.... well I may have accidentally asked him to bed..... 😣😣😨😨. I was up the ladder of the loft bed I built (see I am a master builder) and this bed to say it's wobbly is an understatement. So there I am up this ladder of said wobbly loft bed, struggling to unroll a double mattress and get it out of the packaging............ he walks past and says "You know what they say about the bed you make is the bed you lie in". I reply "No, didn't know that, I wouldn't want to in this one it's so wobbly but do you want to try it anyway though?" He didn't reply, just sort of scurried away. Our eyes met over the restaurant the other day.... he quickly looked away. Another case of "I'm British" 😣😄.
The first week of building I'm asked "So you're Scottish right" when I explained to this person that no I'm actually English he told me "all sounds the same to me" so that afternoon I called him Eric. ... (a lot) he was getting so confused and a little cranky, I was getting a little amused. Hehehe.
Yesterday I'm stopped by some one at the coffee machine as I'm getting a double espresso and dash of milk (which I don't drink know because it tastes disgusting yet am hopeful one day it may be nice, I live in hope) He turns to me and smiles and says "Hi", I beam back and say Hi... the conversation follows like this.
Cd (Coffee dude) "Hey you're Spanish"
Me "Erm no"
Cd "Yes, you're Spanish, you look Spanish and you sound Spanish"
Me "😨😨😨😨😲😲😲😲 I do?"
Cd "Yes"
Me "I'm English, can't you tell, I am English (I shriek) can you hear my accent"
Cd "No because you're Spanish"
Me "No ... I'm really English"
With that coffee dude walked off in stitches.
Now seriously have I ever sounded or looked Spanish.
Double sigh. I have nothing against sounding Spanish or even looking Spanish but really..... do I???
