11. Organising The Hell Hole That Is The Changing Rooms
If anyone ever thought that manning the changing rooms in Next is easy, think again. Standing on your feet while trying not to lean against the wall or fall asleep in one of the changing rooms on the sly is hard enough; picking up after what feels like a gazillion women and their terrible attempts at neatly rehanging the clothes they've tried on is a nightmare. It requires 100% patience and maybe a work friend to jolly you along. Clothes scattered and creased everywhere, only to be rehangered and then put out on the shop floor again is a full time job in itself. And wow does it make your blood boil when you pick up a shirt that's got make up all over it and been discarded by a sneaky customer.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
