I'm Ill. YAY -__-

So since Saturday, I've picked up some kind of throat infection/cold and its literally killed me off. I fought going to work on Sunday and Monday morning but, both days when I got back I just wanted to crawl back to bed. Its been absolutely horrible. This is my fifth day suffering and Im slowly started to feel better as of yesterday but, then I wake up again in the morning its like starting from day one again. My voice goes and I just don't know how strong I'm going to be to make it through a working day.  I had to call in sick again this morning at about 06:50am, yesterday I was just sent home as soon as I got to work. My voice was much worse yesterday but, I still can't talk very well. I haven't eaten properly in the last 2-3 days because I just don't have  an appetite for food. Everything tastes weird, foul and takes way to much effort for my mouth to chew. There have been a couple of times over these past few days where I have actually struggled to breathe because of bringing up flew (lovely) and then it getting stuck in awkward place in throat. Yep, that made me panic and cry a few times. Im not even sure if I will be fit enough to work tomorrow, I hope so... I really wanted to go into work this morning but, I realised how weak I was and that my body was telling me 'No'. I'm so used to just soldering on through illnesses it feels slightly criminal to have a couple of days off work for it. I am so not used to this.....

Best Welcome

Today was the start of my best welcome with Asda. I only have one more day left of this and then it is onto training. This whole day has gone rather fast with a lot of things covered, some more general areas than others. As most of our training with be at the Long Eaton Superstore, I was also given a full tour around including all of the 'backstage' sort of areas. It's been a very interesting day and of course very eye opening to see all of the hard work that goes into running the store itself.

All being well, I should be starting my training there on Monday. Admittedly, I am a little nervous about it. The thought hit me today. I am used to working at a petrol station with a small shop, I'm not sure I'm going to know where to start working on the shop floor. I understand most things are still the same just the Asda way and that there will be more work to do. In short I am a little worried but, I'm hoping that I will just settle in nicely after the first couple of days. I will only be working at the Long Eaton store for a couple of months so it won't be worth getting to comfortable but, that doesn't mean that I can't try to make some new friends.

ASDA

Well, my last day with my previous employer was the 6th of March. I have had a couple of meetings with a lovely lady from the ASDA in Long Eaton about the transfer that is ongoing, one on the 5th and then one on the 6th. On the 6th, I received my official transfer letter welcoming me to the company. I had already received similar to this when one of the HR lady came for a meeting with us all at Larklands but, that was just for welcoming purposes. I can't believe the wait is finally over. I remember my boss telling me about what is going to happen back in mid January and now the site is empty and well... gone! I was there on the last day of trading despite working nights in Daybrook at the same time. One the last day we didn't sell any fuel just cigarettes and whatever else was left in the shop, even though most of the stock was packed in boxes ready to be sent to the other site. It was a bit weird actually. No costa coffee machine as that had been collected on the 27th of February. Some of our regular customers reaction were brilliantly entertaining when they had realised the machine had gone, baring in mind most of them brought one every single day.

Goodbye, Esso! 06/03/15

I don't have to go back into ASDA Long Eaton until Thursday now, it is a little strange having so much time to myself. I'm so used to just working all of the time I just don't know what to do. Anyone would think I am bored or something. I do hope to try and get something recorded while I have the time. I managed to tidy up a drum track I had started for one of my new songs yesterday but, I still have a lot of work to do with that and there could still be some changes made. As it stands, I have only recorded 3 out of 10 (at least) songs. I am still planning on going ahead with my ep, I just still can't put a finger on when it will be ready. I said December before but, I didn't state which year!
