Monday to Friday

I feel more sore than a rentboys mancunt on his first night on the job.   My God did I flog myself at the gym this morning or what?  Pretty sure I’m heading into this new routine too fast – my back is hurting me from trying to lift so much weight.  Damn being tall!  My back has hurt sometimes in the past, but it’s been good lately, and I think doing this i’m putting it under stress again.  However, part of me has to put it down to my back muscles being as sore as the rest of me is, so I did my second arm workout this morning.  Tomorrow will be legs again.  For some reason though I feel like I wanna do more arms than legs.  Like maybe just skip a leg day for another arm day, but if I do that, then I’m not letting the muscles rest.  Either way, I feel amazing.  I have five shifts to get through this week, Monday through to Friday, finishing on Saturday morning.  I don’t even have any plans for the weekend yet, which is unusual.  At the moment I’m thinking a dance at Fluffy on Sunday night is in order.  I love that club more than any of the others and I always seem to be working Sunday nights so I can never go to it!  But this Sunday I have off, so I can.  And Rhys pretty much lives there and it’s awesome running into him.  We’d probably hang out more if it wasn’t for the fact that his ex-boyfriend is my housemate lol.  I think there may still be a little bit of awkward tension there, even though they say hi to each other all the time, but from what it once was, it just seems a little bit forced.  I dunno, I do not know their story, but it sucks how relationships can go from being in each other’s arms and arses to just…. nothing.  It kind of feels like that with Luke.  He barely even makes the effort to contact me anymore, and when he does, I’m that shocked that I’ve actually received a text from him.

Speaking of texting, I did something I’ve been putting off for a LONG time yesterday before I went to sleep.  I bought a new phone!

I am finally leaving behind the realms of the dark-ages.  I am trading in my shitty little Nokia for a Nexus S.  Yes, even though I’ve been going on about HTC Desire HD’s and Desire Z’s for ages now, I opt with a phone that’s completely neither of those lol.  I won’t get it for a little while yet as I’ve ordered it online and it’s being posted out to me, but yay I’m excited about it 🙂  I’ve been doing a bit of research on what sorta phone I wanna get over the last month or so (watching numerous Youtube video reviews and such) and this one just seemed to appeal to me the most.  Just sucks it’s exclusive to Vodaphone, who’s service has been absolutely appauling the last six months or so, although I did get a letter from them apologising and explaining why they were up shit creek for so long.  They still are as far as I’m concerned.  I have my internet with them and it fucks up SO often.  It’s working at the moment though so I guess I should be thankful.
I’m excited just to get my new phone and start playing with it.  It’ll be good just to have my old phone as a backup.  I’m actually looking forward to being able to take my phone with me and use the front facing camera to do video entries for on here!  =)  Yay!

Something WEIRD happened at work last night.  The forecourt was full of cars all fuelling up and two of them came in to pay (including a coppa) and the screen just went all red.  It’s like someone had hit an emergency stop button outside or something, but I didn’t see anyone do it.  The whole thing just went.  So after going, ‘What the fuck!?’ a few times, I reset all the pumps and the LPG and thanfully all the sales came back up and the people outside were able to get fuel again.  What the weird thing was, was that the cop had gotten $78 worth of unleaded (fuel is ridiculous prices atm), which was only like 40 litres, but when I reset it, it came up as $78 LPG.  What the!?  The computer had automatically REPLACED the unleaded amount with an LPG amount of the same price amount.  So, of course, the cops card wouldn’t work on LPG, only fuel.  In the year and a half or so I’ve been there, that has not happened to me once!  So luckily I know how to do a manual sale, so I just typed it in, apologised for holding him up and he was on his way.  He was cool about it though, saying ‘these things happen.’  Which is true.  i can only put it down to someone hitting the Emergency Stop button which will automatically shut down all the pumps as a safety precaution.  But I did not expect it to CHANGE the fuel type on pump 5 and also add an extra $10 LPG amount on pump 6, when there was actually NO CAR EVEN THERE at the time.  So after typing it in munually, I still had to account for why there was $88 worth of unpaid for LPG on pumps 5 and 6.  Fucking weird!  i was racking my brains trying to figure out how there could be such a glitch in the system.  The weird thing was, on the receipt when I printed it out, it said 48.79 litres at 0.69 cents per litre and the amount was $78.86.

I then looked at the receipt for the coppa I’d just served.  It also said 48.79 litres at 1.149 cents per litre = $78.86.  What the fuck?  So CLEARLY the LPG amount of wrong because at 0.69 cents it does not add up to $70!  The receipt just PROVED that the fuel type had been changed on me.  I didn’t want to get in trouble for something that clearly wasn’t my fault, so I printed out receipts left right and centre lol.  I also RANG my boss.  I hardly ever ring my boss when I’ve got a problem unless I have to because you know, she has to be in in the morning, and I’m the graveyarder, so who wants to receive a call at 1am when they’re trying to sleep?  I know I don’t! lol.  But for me it’s like at 3pm.  So I figured, ‘No fuck this, I’m covering my arse’ and I rang her.  Luckily she answered, because half the time she doesn’t and I’m left to fend on my own.  I already had fixed everything up, that wasn’t the problem.  The problem was letting her know that I had to put $88 of LPG to drive off, that wasn’t actually driven-off.  I explained everything that had happened to her and she said she hadn’t heard of it happening either, but to keep my receipts and stuff for her to look at in the morning.  Already did that!  I ain’t getting in trouble for your system fucking up.  Surely it can’t be that hard to remove two amounts from the drive off account.  But I had to put them there because I needed to clear the forecourt.  Talk about unnecessary stress, but I think I handled it well =) 

Then after work, as I said, I slammed myself again at gym lol.  I’m actually feeling quite proud of myself, despite feeling in the war zone lol.  Knowing that my muscles are sore is telling me that it’s working and I actually look pretty hot when I’m working out in front of the gym mirror.  I’m not vain, but yeah, I’d do me.  Apparently there are twins of me out there so my friend’s keep telling me – why can’t my twin come and fuck me?  =)

I met up with Lindsay yesterday.  My God that guy can make me laugh.  We went to ‘The Shingle Inn’, the new one in the Myer Centre.  I didn’t even know one had opened there haha, but yeah.  I usually avoid the place because it’s overpriced food for little value in my experience, but he said they did all-day breakfasts, so we both got those.  I was still hungry afterwards and yeah it was a rip off but hey, why not?  I leaned over the table and said to Lindsay, ‘You do realise we are the only two people here under 60 right?’  it was true, there were elderly every side of us haha.  All having their coffee and cake.  It’s such a stereotype, but that’s exactly what it was.  And there’s me and Lindsay, talking in our usual banter, cracking each other laughing, usually always me laughing more than him because he’s just a funny bastard.  He said to me, "Someone has to keep your ego in line, and I’m glad to be that person.’ (meaning that he likes to put me down at any given change he can).  Like every guy i tell him I’ve hooked up with, he’s right back at me with something like ‘They felt sorry for you’ or ‘Did they need a microscope to find your penis?’ lol and i said to him, ‘Honey I’ve got more than enough reference to prove you wrong!’ and i said, ‘Why don’t you just ask Luke?’ (mutual friend of ours and my ex whom I actually met through Lindsay years ago) and Lindsay goes, ‘yeah he told me he needed a miner’s helmet with a light on it.’ lol, funny bloke.
The thing that had me laughing though was we were talking about airlines and how he never ever flies with either Jetstar or Virgin and he will only ever fly with Qantas, and he said with Qantas a lot of the time they will upgrade your seat for free so you aren’t flying with your head around your ankles because of the lack of seat space.  Anyway I must’ve said something and he goes, "But you’d be used to having your ankles wrapped around your head, that’d be comfy for you wouldn’t it?"
Even though that is NOT true lol, I couldn’t stop laughing and applauded him.  He goes, thank you thank you, I’m here all week.’
We usually manage to clear a room with some of our conversations, but the oldies stayed there this time =)  Unfortunately I had to leave lunch early to go home and sleep.  Thinking of 5 shifts ahead of me after I’ve already completed 12 just seems like the light at the end of the horizon is still miles away.
