Tuesday at work

Well work as usual is totally boring. Did a market on Saturday and it was ace. I reckon I have found what I am meant to do in life. Didnt make loads but did make a small profit. Ofcourse by the time fuel to get there and back is accounted for I probably still made a loss but we got a lot of interest so I think this is more than likely realy a viable option. It was our first week too. With me I have a look and if teh stall is there again I try it out and then if its good \i go back. Again and again! I have built a great website whilst on my evening course - last lesson was last night so either I post website now which cant do as yet since dont have a program that supports CSS. My dreamweaver program is MX and wont allow anything in CSS. When I decided I prefer to use CSS to the normal HTML templates I had no idea about that so now I really need to buy a newer copy of dreamweaver. Next part of the course begins on 20th January so its quite a few weeks away yet and that means my lovely website ( which actually works!) is stuck on a pen drive and I cant upload till I get it all sorted. Made bath bombs this morning and am packaging and labelling liquid soap tonight for this weekends markets. We are doing a big xmas market on Sunday in Towcester so hopefully that will go well ( it cost £60!!! so really hope we at least sell that much of stock!) and doing Wellingborough again on Saturday. We intend to do Wellingborough every Saturday now right thru to xmas and have actually signed up to do the week immediately before xmas too. Then we are taking the bit between new year and xmas off and then we will start again as regulars in Wellingborough i reckon on second week of Januray or maybe even on 3rd we will have to see. I dont want a Jnauary sale tho so not too sure about this really. Mind you my Mini bath bombs seem to be really popular which is great since I have a much bigger profit from them than from the large ones. maybe straight after xmas anyone who was given them will want some more and buy lots off us. Weird tho that people seem to prefer 3 small ones to one giant one. I personally go more for luxury rather than quantity. Tho I suppose 3 mini bombs for £1 is pretty good as a stocking filler. I will see how this week goes but really I think we may actually be on to a winner here. Work is boring me to death and starting to get eye problems with looking at a PC constantly. Never had such a PC oriented job. I mean I am literally chained to it it seems. They dont even like you to do the look away from the screen every so many hours which I have always been told to do in other jobs. I have been here a year on 18th December and never had a workstation assessment or an eye test and I am sure you are meant to have both of these by law! I have always had them in other jobs even when I was temping. I saw an optition anyway a couple of weeks ago now cos I am worried about this problem with my eye. I had an operation as a kid so I have to watch it cos dont want to have to have another. Anyway work is getting no better. Since I am bringing my own lunches now and no longer going to the cafe with everyone else they have got very weird with me. I really dont want to go tho. The food is the same every day and to be honest having eaten Hummous every day for a year I am sick to death of the stuff. I actually love hummous but variety really is the spice of life. I feel much better eating what I know is a healthy lunch tho rather than sarnies coated in marg!!! Also I know this cafe have poisoned me 3 times. I know when hummous is off ( I eat it lots and it goes sour after about 3 days). They have given me off food too many times. I reckon more than 3 day old food too! Once I would ignore cos it happens - tho no excuse really - but 3 times is just too much. Anyway I am once again self sufficient with lunches and it feels great. Eating daily in a cafe stops being a treat after awhile. It only takes 5 minutes to make a couple of nice healthy sarnies and I have different fillings every day now. Great! Sadly I simply do not belong here. Tho no it isnt sad at all. I dont want to belong here. I have alwasy got on with folk and usually been the person organising the Friday lunchtime pub visits in other jobs so no idea why I just do not fit in here. It must be them thats weird. I have never before worked anwhere where you have to socialise with the work team outside of work either. We have no contracts so theres nothjing to say i must go along but I am made to feel I have to. Not a nice feeling. They are all saddo apparently who have no life or even friends outside of work. well I do. Not hundreds of mates but I have them and they are nice people and I really do not want tyo spend every weekend and half my weekday evenings seeing people I see all day. Not that I hate em cos I dont but we are just work colleagues and really have nothing in common. Also they can never ever even of a minute it seems forgive or forget that I am veggie. What is their problem? veggies are the fastest growing food choice? Doesnt sound right but the numbers of vegans shot up to over a million last year and the numbers of veggies or meat avoiders are now huge. I am not unusual and I have no desire to try to convince any of em to change so why do they have to take exception to me all the time!
