I am working in a supermarket during the holidays, extra cash, don’t have to spend so much time at home, don’t spend as much… you get the idea. I don’t enjoy it, I am given a month’s holiday from my term time job and it is just too long. Nothing really changes much in the shop, same faces, and same awkward customers/managers. Imagine my surprise when I came back to a new… totally fit manager? It was more than awkward.
She is young, slim, amazing welsh accent, and I totally have a thing for accents (my girlfriend is French). She said ‘hello darling, heard a lot about you’ thick welsh drawl followed by a wink and a smile. I am not out at work. What on earth has she heard? Instead of laughing, or reacting at all, I just stared… full on stared. Luckily she had her hand out… so all I had to do was shake it. I could not speak. I recovered just in time to smile. I hope she doesn’t think I am a total freak.
The girlfriend has spent 3 months in Australia, seeing her after Christmas. She has only just got her internet back online, so the nights are getting longer staying up to talk to her. Feels a lot better now we are talking regularly.. it was a bit hit and miss a couple of weeks ago. Good job really as I am visiting the whole of her family (all French and no my French is not that good) who by the way.. don’t know we are together.. did I not mention that?
Got a fourteen hour shift next week, let’s hope I don’t freeze, and not because of the cold!
