Oh hello. I thought I would give an update on my week.
On Monday, I met up with Emma after work, as a) I hadn’t seen her in ages and b) we wanted to do something to post-celebrate my birthday. Because I don’t finish work till 8 and I usually miss dinner as a result, I suggested going for a meal and then a drink or too, so we went to Wagamamas. I’d been craving ramen for a while and Emma had never been so it was a win-win situation. Plus! They do gyoza and coconut ice cream that is so amazing that it pales all others in comparison. D: Whilst we were waiting for the food to arrive, Emma gave me my presents!
She bought me some beautiful earrings (as seen to the left.. except you can see more of the box/posts rather than the actual earrings but you get the picture hopefully D:) and also some Harajuku Lovers ‘Baby’ perfume, which I tried when I got home that evening and it smells gorgeous. I’m looking forward to my usual perfume, “Absinthe” to run out so I can start using this one regularly, haha. We then wait to Henry’s for a Tokyo Iced Tea, and the gorgeous barman was there again. UGHHHH. He’s so beautiful it makes my heart sing. We didn’t get served by him, but that’s probably for the best. Emma and I have concluded that theres probably a point in life where if I did get served by him again, ordering a drink wouldn’t be enough. I would simply have to touch his face.
In my last entry, I mentioned that my tickets for Pure Reason Revolution hadn’t arrived yet. They did finally arrive, 4 days before the gig. Considered I ordered them over 2 weeks before they arrived, I think that’s a pretty terrible service. I’m going to avoid TicketWeb in future, I think. So, although my tickets arrived.. I didn’t get to go anyway! I’ve pinched a nerve just under my shoulder blade, and at that point nothing I took could help with the pain. As it happens, I’m glad I didn’t go, because they started their set late, and I would have missed over half of it to get the train back. :/ My back is slowly getting better now, or at least more comfortable after finding the winning combination of pain killers, but I know it takes a while to recover.
At work on friday, I had to close up the pharmacy, and before I can leave, I have to get the duty manager to sign for the controlled drugs safe key, and to set the alarm for the counter. Usually I get them to come to me by calling them on their line, but every time I’ve tried of late, it’s been engaged and I haven’t been able to find them. This happened to me on Monday as well, but luckily I was able to find the duty manager on the shop floor, but it still made me late to meet Emma. I wasn’t so lucky on Friday, and despite asking several people what to do, they just kept sending me back to wait, and to keep on calling. It was only 45 minutes after I was due to leave, somebody told me the duty manager’s line has been down since Monday(!) and that’s why I’m not able to get through. After getting a message through on the tannoy, it was almost an hour later before I left, and I think that’s really unfair on me, that I was just fobbed off leaving me to stand there, well after my shift had finished. I’m going to talk to my boss about this next week and see if I can get paid for this hour, because it’s just not right. 10 or 15 minutes is fine… but an hour. :/
There probably will be no updates next week as I am working every day but Sunday. D: But I have 5 days off after that, happy days! So expect lots of spam then.
