An Eventful Shift
Okay, just a quick basic update because for some bizarre reason I agreed to do some extra overtime at work. I think being in major debt had something to do with my thoughts at the time?!? But right now all I can think about is slee... sleeeee... sleeeeeeeeeping.... 
You know when you get a cut but don't realise until you notice the blood? Yeah - I had that happen to me on my face. I was just working, minding my own business, having a conversation with myself complaining about why I always happen to get my hands trapped inbetween heavy stuff instead of light stuff (did it twice last night with large boxes of banannas). I walked back to the storage area and noticed my reflection and realised I had a cut on my left cheek. Have absolutely no idea how that happened. Normally there's a bang and some pain and some "you've done what to yourself again?!?" but for some reason not this time.
Anyways, we also had a spider at Tesco. Two people scared of Spiders asked me to come over and pick it up. I head on over and my supervisor is all like "Don't touch it - Don't touch it!" and goes and grabs a beaker to send it off to some lab to get analysed. Poor thing's probably suffocated by now. But apparently I haven't run the risk of dying from a poisonous disease. Pity. Could have had time off work and still gotten paid for it.
(Those who know me know how much I long for a job where I get paid to sleep - now THAT's a job to do overtime for).
A while later a girl called Katy nearly ran me over with a cage. In all fairness, I was walking backwards at the time...
Some of us also found out that our pay has been... odd. Some have either been paid just about the right amount - or more than they should have been paid. Some have been underpaid by about £150. Our paychecks mention all sorts of bits of data apart from the one useful thing we can use - how many hours we've worked. So after figuring out a lot of math and working out overtime etc... I got a headache and continued stacking oranges.
By about ¾ of the way through my shift, I'd managed to get myself locked inside a large fridge. Luckily they designed it just incase someone like me got employed - so there's a lever for you to open it from the inside. But when you're tired and surrounded by a hundred cartons of milk you can go a bit crazy....
But on the bright side... I bought myself more pizza and a muffin!
I've also been beta-testing a program called FlyakiteOSX. I've known the developer Chris Kite [flyakite] for a while now and talked in-depth with him during the course of its creation from start-to-finish, offering my both my insight and insanity. I'm too tired to go into details now, but I will do soon. In short, it makes your PC look as beautiful as an Apple Mac with just a few very simple clicks. Don't slack it off just yet you skeptics - because modding has just evolved to a whole new level!
