This morning it was cold. Damn cold.
Then the bus didn't turn up, so I had to walk to the bus stop outside the high school. Luckily it was too early in the morning for anyone to be at school, because I'd hate to have had to kill someone.
So anyway, to cut a long story short, I was 15 mins late for work. Was no big deal, as I'd phoned to tell them I would be late. Mark however, had missed his alarm or something, and arrived two hours late, so he got a right telling off... hehe.
Later, at about 3.15pm, the lights flickered, then all the power went off. Fun! At first. Because there was no power we had to shut, which is good! But: It also meant, no extractors, no lights, no air conditioning. It was dark (save for the emergency lighting), and the kitchen was filling with the smoke that the extractors had stopped... extracting.
We had to chuck all the food away... Although some of it didn't make it to the bin ;) And we used the time to clean everything down ready for when it came back on. Eventually it did return at 3.55, and I was off at 4.
Also today I completed Jedi Academy, on both Dark and Light endings, and had a little bit of multiplayering.
Then I got to grips with some more PHP, and found out that what I had planned for part of GBnet5 isn't going to work so simple after all. So it's back to the drawing board for that particular bit of behind-the-scenes code.
Now, I got an early again tomorrow, so I best be going to bed. 'night.
Trainees

Argh... We had a new girl starting today and I had to train her on grill-side. She was just doing dressings, I was on buns (and in charge of the grill team), and there was another person who started a month or so ago working the grill.
It's bad enough trying to explain something to someone who has never done it before... But I had to keep my eye on the guy who was supposed to know what he was doing aswell, because he kept messing up. I've been in worse situations though, before I was on the training team...
The new girl had to go home early because she was sick anyway, lol.
So I get home to have a nice cup of coffee to keep me awake, and the milk had gone off, so I had to wait until my mum got back with some shopping... Grrr...
Oh, Just an afterthought, 'twas 101 F down in Kent yesterday. And that is the hottest it has ever got in Britain since records began in 1875. Coolness.
Or hotness, anyway...

Well what a day... was on an open, that's 6am 'til 2pm.
Got to work at 5.50, and the opening manager wasn't there yet, but I expected that. What I didn't expect was for the delivery lorry to be there already, as it usually doesn't arrive until 6.30... So I just had a little chat with the window cleaner while we waited...
Fortunatly it was fairly good managers on the open, otherwise I might have had to shoot myself... But anyway, Me and Andy N. were doing delivery (half the staff are called Andy, so there's bound to be at least one more on the same shift as me) It wasn't a particularly huge delivery, but the 30 crates of shake and sundae mix plus the 20 boxes of fries almost killed us, lol.
Anyways, after delivery I was helping train a new staff member on the front counter, thankfully it hasn't been as hot today as yesterday, because I'd have just been hiding in the walk-in chiller all day.
When I got home my sister was watching Grease, so I had to suffer that for a few minutes, before I started watching something on TV... I can't remember what it was now, so it couldn't have been very interesting...

Damn, it was so hot last night that I could hardly sleep, but when I did I had this crazy dream about a spider in our bathroom, that could communicate telepathically... It also said it was a robot, but not all spiders where robots, but there were others. And every time we shut the bathroom door, it opened it again, saying it was too hot with the door closed... lol
Crazy Afternoon

My alarm went of at 9am, but I ignored it, and was woke up at 2pm by the phone - it was my driving instructor wanting to know where I was - Oops.
So I pretended I couldn't find the key to the front door, and quickly got dressed and rush outside. Luckily he didn't seem to mind. So we drove done to Kidderminster and out towards Bewdley. The topic of todays lesson was roundabouts and three-point turns. I'm pleased to say that I successfully did my first 3-point turn without hitting the kerb, yay!
Then when I eventually got home, I noticed it is around 92 degrees Farenheit, so my wishes for air conditioning in the car were not unjustified....

Well, it was raining this morning, and I was just thinking that Summer had finished already, when the sun reappeared and melted us all again.
I finally booked driving lessons! My first one is tomorrow... So when I told my grandad he said that both he and my mum were doorhandle/wing-mirror collectors when they were learning... Let's hope I take after my dad.
Also, someone I know is selling their Mini... I might buy it, but I dunno wheteher I can afford to take out the loan :/
And more good news! I'll be going up to £4.35 per hour at McD's, not brilliant, but could be worse :p

Gah... 'tis too hot... It's gotta be about 70-75 degrees. I'm melting here!
And it's supposed to be hotter tomorrow, and hotter still on Friday, when it should all end in a nice big thunderstorm :)
But until then... Goodbye...
*drips down onto GBnet*
