gratz on the job, sounds like you're whipping them into shape :P

a few of my mates worked nightshift in asda for years, was always cracking banter (expecially when we rolled in wrecked at 4AM for a pizza)

Glad to hear it went better

Much the same happened with my latest job, first two shifts were utter crap, but then the right/nice people came in and it was much better.
Still a direly boring job but the people do make it better

Excelent news there big fella.

Any chance of some knocked off gin, some tonic water and some limes ?

Brilliant news! Am really chuffed for you...

Hope it picks up a bit more.

My bro had a brilliant time working at Tescos... have the existing peeps been transferred in from other stores or noobs like yourself?

I have finished my First full week

I have to admit to really struggling through the last couple of hours of the shift but I made it & it will only get easier.
Today we had our xmas dinner, Our manager took the floor whilst the whole night shift went up to the canteen for dinner & partay games

I donned my hat Immedietly & forced everybody else to do the same putting myself on everybody & creating a jolly for all

I'm getting on great with the folk there & there isn't anybody there that is a complete arse. There's even a few women there to flirt & mess about with which makes the whole evening fly by most of the time. As far as my job goes it is Stacking shelves so how much of a description does that take, open box stack shelf

I have got quite Anal about my section though & am quite sad about facing off & rotating properly, Everything has to be Perfect & a full on Brick wall of stock is created

I kind of drift off whilst I work or have a bit of banter if somebody is close enough. I am the instigator of sociability there already though & I like that a Lot

I've pulled the shy ones out there shells & we all sit & chat together now, None of that billy no mates solo table sitting BS whilst I am around

I am on my weekend now & feel inside myself a new relaxed feeling, I can now do whatever the **** I like as I have well & truly earnt this time off

You're the kind of person we needed at Tesco when I worked there a few years back!

Really stoked that you're enjoying it mate, you're gonna come to realise what living for the weekend really is hehe

BBx · 10-12-2008, 10:17

You sound like the best person to work with

I always hate being new around places and would be the one sitting alone at a table because I'd be too nervous to join the etablished people

Garp · 10-12-2008, 16:01

Sounds awesome.. you sound like the kind of guy everyone wants in their department. Kicking about and having a laugh, but also putting your head down and getting the job done to the best of your ability. The world needs a hell of a lot more like you.
