I'm Currently Feeling: | I work in Morrisons in the Administration department, however my job is to walk around litterally all day and check all prices that are shown in front of the product are correct (and there :P) which means scanning in excess of 1000 products and running up and down stairs to get new labels etc. They say I can sit down when I need to but being one person short already on my job it just isn't possible  Well as I say... it can only get worse, but then I have a 9 month break in the mid of april <3 |

I love it 
I well don't want to leave but I think with college + exams + baby it's gona be a bit much!
Yeh I usually go and have a little sit down mid-morning and mid-afternoon
Not sure what it's gona be like when I get further on
Plus there's quite a few older customers who come to my department and I'm kinda expecting some not-so-nice remarks and a few nasty looks.
But ah well!!
Which HoF do you work at?
And how are u doing on account cards?! lol
Grrrr account cards!! hehe

I'm Currently Feeling: | Aqua I work all day on my feet and sometimes I barely will get a lunch break. So I talked to my doc last time cause my back hips and feet were starting to bother and she gave me a doc note to give to work to allow me to work a 32hr week instead and it has been much easier! Maybe that could be an option for you...? |
