Bloody Bank Holidays

It was my mum's birthday yesterday. And a bank holiday to boot. I had to work. Bank holidays are a waste of time when you work in a shop. I did ask the boss if I could leave early because it was my mum's birthday. He said no because 'I haven't got enough staff to cover it if you go early and there is lots of stock to put out'. I had to stay til 5pm. The boss left at 1.30 after doing very little except sit on his arse in the office talking to his manager friends in other stores. I was really pissed off. Anyway, today he was really nice to me, he went on about being sorry for not letting me go early and that he realised that it was always me that did the extra time and put in the extra hours and never let him down. He said that he would try and sort something out for me later in the year and make sure I got Boxing day off. Woopee doo. If I'm lucky I won't be there that long!
My mum's birthday went well tho. I got her a beanie baby dragon, cos she collects beanie babies, and dragons, and a couple of shrubs for the garden. Our Chris and Caroline (my bro and his fiance) came round for some food, and they had also got her a cuddly dragon, but a different type so that was ok, and a David Essex CD. We had a laugh and mum enjoyed herself, so that was good.
I have applied for a job as a trainee accountant at a local firm of accountants (makes sense really). The advert asked for school leavers or graduates with a good academic background, so I thought I'd give it a go. They will pay for me to do all the qualifications and exams and stuff, and at the end of it I'll be an accountant. I hope I get an interview. I am quite interested in accountancy (boring as that sounds) I started doing a book keeping course, and found it quite mentally stimulating until My life went to pot last year and everything got tipped upside down and I kinda lost the motivation to carry on with it. I think Pete has all my course stuff in storage at his work from when he emptied mine and his stuff from the flat, I just haven't got around to getting it back yet. I will have to do that soon, because if I don't get an interview or I don't get the job, then I need to finish the course to improve my employment prospects. I'm tempted to do a course in office management too. You can actually do GNVQ's in office Junioring! I see myself more as admin, but to be quite honest anything has got to be better than the Co-op. It's driving me potty!
