I’m not ‘boring’. I’m English.
Training
Today I was being trained. Well, I was supposed to be. The manager showed me what to do in a really fast ‘you do this then this then this and then finish up with this ok?’ two minute flash and then told me to go and sit with someone else while she took me through ti all a little slower.
Well… Slower was what it was. During the two hours I sat with her she went for two cigarette breaks, disappeared to the vending machine twice, ate two bowls of cereal, a bag of crisps and a chocolate bar. At 9 in the morning people!
I learned more by just doing it myself.
Sigh. It was a day for petty annoyances… compounded by working late. There is a kind of frantic need in me to earn as much money as possible before this job ends – who knows when that will be. The mornings are becoming easier though. Feel less like the dead in the morning and more like the living dead. Stumbling around as opposed to completely lifeless.
I got my winter blanket out last night as the cold is really starting to race in. The sun is so beautiful during the day but the nights are becoming coat weather. Proper coat weather. So I really must spend money on some clothes… ugh. Feels pointless if it’s not a cool t-shirt!

I wish it would get cold here. Florida is just a humid, humid state to live in.

It’s suddenly turned really chilly here. The leaves went from green to yellow in about 24 hours – so bloody depressing. Heating is on and PJs are out in force by bed time – urgh!

TMF – You blinked?! Yes, then, you missed it. You must now wait until May for another glimpse!
Penelope – Today – so very very chilly… and then the wall of water fell out of the sky. And, me? Take a brolly? Of course not!

I sympathise re. the training. It is never fun. You seem to be settling in OK though. It’s getting warmer here. Soon we’ll be packing away all the winter blankets. I dread the return of the humidity. And the mosquitoes…..
