work experience!!! and no more school!!

so yeh as u have probs found out form my title i have no more school this week and i start work experience.

so yeh yesterday was my first day and it was awsome. i'm doin mine at essentials supermarket although the boss like to call it a 'convienience store'. i did pratically nothing and watched cricket the whole day. it was pretty good cuz i started off pricing bags of chips and putting them up then i didn't do nething for a while and watched the cricket and made fun of the kiwi's for getting tonked. even though we didn't make that many runs (like a few hundred i think..) and we got 'em all out today for 200 and a bit. even tho we lost today right. we still (overall) won by 213 runs. so yhe.. in other words the kiwi's suk. and on sunday we got an ODI (one day international) game against them which means another boring day for the ozzies as we flog them...

neway enuf abt the cricket (hehehe) for work exp right for most of the afternoon i was helping this guy that came from the coke company to re-arrange the fridges. that was kinda bporing so i decided to take my lunch break. and yeh then i did some sweeping and i got to leave abt 30min early coz there was no1 in the store lol but all the bloody como and sth prth kida come after school and buy all sorts of lollies and shit to eat so they get fat... : neway yeh..

today i did mainly the same thing sept i only got to watch the cicekt in the morning coz we got the kiwi's out fairly wuick. so the only dissappointing side to it was that i didn't get to watch the cricket :( mind u today i got taught how to use the cash register which was cool. but i found it hard to see the buttons through the rubbery thing on top so sometimes i charge ppl way more than i should've but they didn't complain so neither did i. the only tricky part to it is when ppl are lazy and pay with a key card, credit card or eftpos card coz then i goda rem how to use the rfreakin card mahine thing and it kept rejecting cards so i had to swipe the bloody thing likea million times. it kept showing up " Failure to recognise card. Please try again " after a while i got pissed and wacked the thing and the cuztomer was like 'hey watch my card!!' theni got embarrassed and my bozz came over and showed me how to do it and aparently i was holding the thing the rong way round. (stupid peice of crap machine) neway in the end i got through it all.

all in all today seriously beat school anyday..
