So let me tell you the sad tale of work recently for me.
We have had this work placement in, lets call her the Purple Haired Twit or PHT for short.
Now the PHT has been with us for 8 weeks, it doesn't sound like much but it has felt like a lifetime for us.
We get a lot of characters in our shop but she was something else. It wasn't that she lied, we've had plenty of liars. It wasn't that she was rude, we've had worse. It wasn't even because she was young! There was just something so... So fundamentally stupid about her attitude that we couldn't help but be astonished with the things that she would blurt out, not only in front of us but in front of customers as well!
She has some very weird views on everything, she always has to have done something bigger and better (or have it happen worse) then you.
Thing is she is only 18, I might only be 23 but I don't talk to Jean (in 60s) or Jenny or Jeannette (40s) like I know better than them about things that I know I know nothing about! She might THINK she knows everything about everything but to be honest even I know she's spread a load of crap around.
The first annoying thing was basically I know her brother. I never met her, I knew her brother at school and bump into him from time to time now we've left. I didn't know he had a sister until she showed up at work. But now apparently I've known her the whole of her life... Well no I haven't.
Then it was that her dad works on the buses so she knew everything about buses that could possibly be known. Just David's friend works on the buses as well and when he made a comment that his friend likes a certain model of bus then he had to be wrong because her dad hated it. When I got angry at some news from PCB because I KNOW they are making a profit (they published their profits in the Herald FFS!) then I was wrong because she's talked to the people in charge and they aren't making a profit at all. Now why the manager of a big corporation, or indeed just of PCB would talk to the daughter of a bus driver FOR ANOTHER COMPANY about their profits I don't know. But apparently they did.
She lets you know at every turning that the Conservatives are evil and that she thinks anyone voting for them are stupid and must have more money then sense. Well no love I vote for them and I'm a part time shop assistant. I just don't like seeing so much money being spent on you and your "partner".
She apparently loves all kinds of rock music but hates pop music... She also owns all of Rhianna's albums... Yeah work that one out.
She's done every drug possible apparently and wants to be a youth worker because she wants to stop people "making the same mistakes as me" well to be honest love I know that you are from a partly posh family and other then radically coloring your hair every few months it seems you've never had a problem! I know this because I asked your brother...
It got to the point were she just had to be smarter than everyone, more opinionated then everyone and have more sympathy then everyone.
Thank god she is going tomorrow! I won't see her as I have the day off. Can't wait to a week of working with normal people again!

My wonderful day off *SARCASM ALERT*
So I worked 7 hours on Saturday with rude and horrible customers, 5.5 hours yesterday which was alright but dragged like hell and 7 hours today with a totally irritating and unintelligent chav. My feet hurt, I have a headache, I've been getting up at 7am every morning and am working 7 hours on Wednesday and 4.5 hours on Thursday.
So what do I do on my day off?
I get to wake up at 7am, go babysit my nan until 3pm then have to get a bus to Derriford to meet David, who refuses to come and see me at my nans, so we can go out for dinner.
Now I don't really begrudge David as it was his birthday today and I was working and then asked him to come down into town and help me with something, but he's acting like I'm the most terrible person in the world. I didn't ASK to spend ALL FUCKING DAY at my nans I thought a couple hours meant over dinner time not half the day.
For some reason the bank cancelled my bank card on Saturday so I have no money, I wanted to go to the bank to get money out but now because I don't leave my nans till 3 and David wants me at Derriford at 4 I can't possibly get money out. So I'm scrounging small amounts of change off my mum till I get to a bank, which won't be till Friday now!
All I wanted to do on my day off was have a lie in and then go get some money out, make sure they've sent a replacement card out and relax. But I don't get that.
Oh by the way just to add context to why I'm so mad about this...
David spent the whole weekend at a Role Play thing in Exeter with his friends.
My mum spent the whole weekend lounging around the house doing nothing.
They don't work. I do. They have 7 days a week off (ok technically my mum "cares" for my nan, that basically means sitting around doing nothing all day though so it isn't like she's actually working, working.)
I'm fed up of work treating me like dirt, because now we have an assistant manager instead of giving me a few more hours or anything like that they are going to hire another warehouse man as well. So now my chances of overtime are zilch as who the hell will I be covering? I work peoples days off in the week so when someones on holiday they'll just adjust my hours accordingly. I've had enough of being treated like that (it isn't anyone in my actual shop, my manager is wonderful, its other people that are annoying) and now I don't even get a break from everything when I should. My choice for Wednesday is leave Jenny on her own in the shop all day and be "ill" or work, on my feet for 7 hours with the idiot talking a load of bollocks at me. And as I'm a nice person it'll be option b I take!

RIP Baroness Thatcher
So today Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister, died of a stroke aged 87.
So far she has been the only female Prime Minister and quite a controversial one at that.
Personally for me the politics don't make the person and I feel sad that someone that I learned about and that was such a figure in our recent history pass away.
Very sad news.

MotoGP : Qatar 2013
Grand Prix of Qatar 2013
Winner : Jorge Lorenzo
Second : Valentino Rossi
Third : Marc Marquez
The 2013 season is off to a start, how did the race shake out after the holidays?
Surprise at the start for me was that Dani didn't get the lead at the start, Lorenzo got away really well and opened a large enough gap. Dovi had a great start and got in front of Cal and Vale got up behind Dovi as well.
Whilst trying to overtake Dovi, Vale overshoot and ended up losing a load of places getting in behind Bradl, Cal managed to overtake Dovi and Marquez slowly made his way through to.
Nicky kept up with the pack, he spent all of the race in the same position but other than at the beginning Dovi didn't run miles ahead of him which was encouraging for Nicky.
Rossi did fight back and ended up taking 2nd place, Jorge won by such a big margin it isn't worth talking about (other than to praise Jorge for being amazing which I already knew anyway) .
The race was actually quite boring (hence not even needing to split the very small review) and I hope it gets a lot better, this will be one of the only races I get to see live and to be honest I was waiting for it to finish.
The Rider of the Race for me was Vale, yeah Jorge is wonderful he always is nowadays, but Vale fought for that 2nd and I loved every second of his fight!
Proud of Nicky, for no other reason then I thought he was wonderful as well.

Haiyore! Nyaruko-San : Mahiro Yasaka Wants to Live in Peace (Anime)
Episode 3
Last episode Nyaruko saved Mahiro from the very creepy sounding TV show that Nedon wanted to auction him off for (it included erotic parts and tying him up and made him lose more of his sanity points).
Not only that but we found someone who is as madly in love with Nyaruko as she is with Mahiro. Oh no.
What strange adventure is in store for the pair this week?
And I can't be the only person who loves the titles of these episodes?!

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san : Goodbye Nyaruko (Anime)
Episode 2
So last episode we were introduced to Nyaruko and Mahiro, we found out all the loves and obsessions of Nyaruko and the weapon of choice for Mahiro (a fork) .
A rather eccentric episode with lots of parodies of animes/mangas gone by.
What has the second episode got in store for Nyaruko and Mahiro (maybe plot?)

***SPOILERS***
What I'm hoping to review now...
Well I've gotten quite good in my opinion at reviewing animes. Not so good at other things but anime and manga I think I've hit.
So what other series could I review?
Well I'll tell you!
Haiyoru! Nyaruko-san is coming back for its second season, I'm planning on reviewing the first season as well as the second. Nyaruko got my back into anime after years in the wilderness. I don't know why I stopped watching anime but I did. But since I started watching Nyaruko I found Fairy Tail which my life became based on, so now I need to re-watch season one before starting season two.
Magi, it has just finished its first season. I watched the first 10 episodes but stopped watching it as I stopped watching a great deal of things. I'm thinking of watching it again now its ended, it is easier just to watch everything at once I find!
Sword Art Online, I wrote a few blogs about it, but I might watch it again from start to finish. I have found recently watching things back a second time gives me a totally different love for them so I feel like watching this again with my expectations gone might help the series get a better review from me.
Mawaru Penguindrum, I saw an episode of this at a anime group that my boyfriend goes too and found it so funny. I have seen a few episodes, but this was back before I had wi-fi so I used to waste all my internet on it and lost interest in doing that (not the anime). So that is something I need to re-watch too.
Soul Eater, this is the first series I've totally read all the mangas of but haven't seen any of the anime. Well I tell a lie I've seen a few episodes of the anime, up to the episode were they meet Dr Stein for the first time. I guess I really do need to watch that as the series only lasted for 50 episodes.
I'm also (and this will be a long going thing if I do) am thinking of watching and reading One Piece from beginning to end. Yeah there is a lot to it but I'm game if you are!
So with my lack of Fairy Tail anime I am filling the gap with about 5 other animes. Fairy Tail you are special!
So what other series could I review?

Boss for the day (UPDATE)
For those of you who looked at my blog about being boss for the day just so you know...
My worries were stupid!
The sale IS on for 2 weeks, so pure luck on that side because I didn't know that!
And I did the banking perfectly fine!
Of course I'm in Saturday so if any last minute problems arise I'll be there first hand to look disappointed in myself but it all looks good!
I haven't been online much this week as I've been extremely tired out and also rather ill. Thankfully I haven't missed doing much online so it is all good!

Officially crying...
So today (because I promised it then got to the last episode I reviewed started to cry and gave up) I decided to watch the last few episodes of Fairy Tail and this popped up...
It is like officially official at the moment that it is gone (unless there has been some news I've been too ill to see) and that is very sad!
I will quickly watch an episode or two tonight and stagger the reviews to come out over the next few days and of course will be on the manga reviews as always.
But Fairy Tail fans, it is a sad day (or was last Saturday when braver people than me saw the end) and I hope good news comes soon!

Being the boss for a day...
So first I have to say wow! I've had stupid amounts of views on my blog over the last two days! Thank you for everyone who visited and hope you come back!
Today I was the boss at work. For many reasons, mainly because the supervisor and manager worked Good Friday so me and the warehouse man worked today.
It is a tale of two halves... One half split in the morning and evening.
We took a lot of money, did the end half of the pricing up and balloons for the sale did all the online bookings things like that...
I also stupidly got confused very easily in the morning and kept blurting out stupid things and by the time my brain started working again the customers had gone (no I didn't swear or have a go just they'd ask me a question and I gave them the wrong answer about the sale) and now I can't help feeling that I've buggered up the cashing up in some way.
I've left about 20 notes to my manager along the lines of "Sorry that I am incapable of looking after the shop for one day, I'm working 7 hours with you tomorrow so feel free to shout at me the second I walk in".
God I feel like a right derp.
