A decent cup of tea, probably.
That was no problem in Dubai. In Rome...after looking in loads of places we finally managed to find somewhere round the corner from our hotel which did decent tea. And I managed to ply MrsL with tea and ice-cream for long enough on the Saturday to watch the CL Final there. Huzzah!

Trips were very nice thanks, LDG. Dubai was way too hot though and I won't be hurrying back. Rome is beautiful but I feel I've done it now. Was impressed with Athens, only had the day there but looks like a nice place. Was interesting seeing Mount Etna in Sicily. Went to a nice beach in Crete, saw all the historical stuff in Ephesus. The ship was very impressive.

All in all, job's a good-un.

They'll taste a bit dry, if they're freezer burnt, but they should taste reasonably good.

Depends whether that is enough to persuade you to put up with the prolonged spells of vomitting a diarrhea that the food poisoning will bring.

Overnight in a Sainsburys, at least the one I used to work in [in the summer holidays same as you] was easy, and you were allowed music, earphones or radio etc. Not that anyone would be there to stop you anyway. Some of the people were a bit odd, mind. Thankfully I worked in a petrol station most of the time so didn't have to talk to the weirdos.

Well its not necessarily the lifting, its the bending down loads of times to reach the really low shelves. I'm considering using a stool to sit on next time. If I can manage to adapt to it, then it'll be fine as a way to make some good money as there is alot of extra work in the store, and I'm doing nothing pretty much till October anyway (some person done 50 hours when his contract only had him at 16 a week)

Health and safety rules mean you have to be taught safe manual handling I believe. At least that's what we are taught in theatre , Amy new staff must be taught how to lift properly etc

So ask your bosses, they should do it and talk you through it. But I have problems with my back. I've learnt to keep my back straight as much as possible, bend with knees straight up amd it reduces pain/stiffness by a huge amount

Done my first night shift , and oh boy, I'm giving myself a couple of hours to think it over, but I'm likely leaving this **** place. Might call the store and just say I'm not coming in for my shift again tonight (can't deal with them forcing my shifts on which days right now).

The manager was different yes, but it was a big black african who kept on marching orders (which I'm fine with), but the way he said 'you've done nothing your whole time here' after I spent like 6 hours working my arse off in the store pissed me off, kept swearing at another guy. I then ask him where to put some items that had broken seals (its my first actual day), and he says, '****ing hell, put it on my head' What a ****ing scrote, and the other manager is a **** aswell . The environment there is toxic.

I know its a job, but its making me miserable already after one day. Doesn't seem worth the effort. It's also physically very demanding, more so than I imagined.

Man, I feel your pain.

I had occaisonal Christmas work in a Supermarket for a few years from when I was 17. While most of the managers were alright, there were some real scrotes who were amongst the most obnoxious people I have ever met. One in particular was the worst and even all these years later, I hope he dies a slow and lingering death.

The warning signs were there early on. When I went down to enquire about vacancies he told me to come back at 4. I got there at 3:45. The fucker kept me waiting until nearly 5 and then asked me what time I called this when he told me to come back at 4. When I told him I was there over an hour, he just moved on abruptly and told me I started Monday at 4. I told him school wasn't out until 3:40 and there was no way I could get there before 4:15 he jut told me to make sure I was in by then.

On my first day, I was in by 4:15 having flown out of school as fast as I could and he gave me shit about time again. And the way he barked orders was atrocious. I wasn't expecting, 'please sir, may I enquire whether you would ever be so kind to stock the shelves'? But was hoping for something better than, "stock the fucking shelves...clean the fucking floor...why isn't the fucking floor clean...take your fucking break...etc.' And there was no guidance at all on how things were done, you were expected to just know and if you asked a question you were responded to like a retard.

It was such a relief when working for other managers and realising they werent all obnoxious ****s.

That said, even when working with that obnoxious piece of shit, good things eventually happened as those of us unfortunate enough to work to him, built up a camaradery and had great funtaking the piss out of him behind his back. That made it bearable.

I'd try to give it a couple of more shifts before making your decision. It will be easier to stick with knowing that you can just pack it in when you want. As for them picking yur shifts for you, I'm afraid that is standard practice. You're new just in, and longer serving and permanent staff are going to get priority for the better shifts. However, if through your work you become valued and reliable, you'll eventually have better leverage when it comes to getting a better shift pattern.

Hope it works out for you.

After 45 years of living with the dark secret of being abused at school by a teacher , this year I got the courage to tell someone about it and I feel much better for having done so. If you had any problems like this with teachersat FCGS in the late 1960's or early 1970's feel free to contact me. Someone recently did just that and they said that they too experienced the same feeling of relief at sharing their long held secret and knowing that they were not the only one and it was not their fault. I also spoke to a good contact at the Child Abuse team at Barnet Police Station, they are very very understanding. My email is kevinmcnicholas at gmail.com. Or use Friend Reunited to leave me a private message.

Wow.
Mammals who live in water and hunt for food underwater can hold their breath for longer than those who don't.
Who knew?

Thanks, BBC.
