I just popped out of the dispensary for a short break ... thought I'd take the opportunity to powder my nose as I've been stuck here for the last 6.5 hours ... and have another 2.5 hours still to go. On my way to the 'powdering my nose' department I walked past some tempting veggies and fruit and picked up some grapes, spring onions and big chunky flat mushrooms. Suddenly the Personnel Manager stopped me ... and spoke to me!!! WOW ... I've been here for about 9 months and I think that's the first time that she has actually initiated a conversation. For a split second my heart jumped, the excitement cannot be described ... until ... PLOO ... I got told off for shopping during work hours. I say, PLOO, I mean, MAJOR PLOO!!! They expect us to work 13 hour shifts (well 9 today due to the bank holiday) with no breaks, not even half an hour for lunch, and I get told off for picking up some essential *ahem* goodies! Retail Ploos. Can't wait until July inshaAllah! I think.
