Holidays, Teeth and Petrol.

Well, with two of my holidays booked off I can finally relax about something. I only had to book two days off for next month and then I decided to book six days off in a row for June. I still need to wait for confirmation. It is not just a random six days off, I may add. It is from the date The Piano Guys perform in Nottingham, UK right up until the day I have to visit the dentist. Kind of a holiday.

It's exciting now that work has finally started in the old Esso site. I can't remember if I mentioned before but, I have started up another blog just to keep a record of the transformation because there are going to be a lot of changes. I've taken most of the photos for this new blog from my phone so then they upload straight to my google account and I can instantly access them when I get to my mac without having to mess around transferring files from sd cards. The thought of inserting an sd card is just too much effort.

Anyways, earlier this week I did receive some training over at the Asda petrol station in Long Eaton. Unfortunately, the guy training me couldn't really show me much though because the site is card payment only so there is never any cash to worry about or tills. He did however show me some of the everyday checks. These were very simple checks, most just checking that there is a dial tone when you use any of the emergency phones. Generally, changing the pumps till roll. I must say I was impressed with their security system.

April (I couldn't think of another title)

Im typing this just before I go to bed. I have not long got back from my bestest friend's double birthday bash (which was a lovely get together) and I have work in the morning so I will be quick. Earlier today, I treated myself to a new tablet. Admittedly, I don't really need one because I stopped using my last but, this one is more powerful so I will most probably actually use it. I think I ended up just getting really irritated with my previous one because it was a slow dual core and I generally lost trust in it after my dad had to take it back to the shop to replace it because it wouldn't charge. This new one has the same sort of power as my phone which, doesn't really sound too impressive but the fact is that my phone is still going strong.

In other news, I think I'm finally getting used to my pattern of regular work with Asda because for the first time in ages I have actually managed to get through a day without taking a nap. I'm actually quite  impressed with myself for not being tired by 23:00pm. In a way, I think being ill benefited me. It knocked me down for a bit but, I've soon got back on my feet again and I finally have most of my energy back. Next week, I'm planning on ridding my bike into Nottingham one day after work. I'm not sure which day yet but, I should probably choose Thursday just incase so then I will have the time to recover if I need to. At this time I still have eighteen easter eggs to eat (I think my dad went a little crazy this year) perfect for wanting to loose a little excess weight.
