06:45am - This is really weird, I feel like I'm going in the past but really I'm going into the future.
06:30am! really is a time I hate. It's horrendously freezing, I'm badly sleepy.. I WANT MY BED!
I went to bed the earliest time since I've left school at 12:15am, I have had 6 hours and 15 minutes sleep but really I didn't get to sleep til I don't know because I was worried about today.
It's really cold and I'm really tired and really nervous. I want to get sacked already and I haven't even done nothing yet. The thought of 6:30am every morning of work but then all depends on the day I start.
I'm leaving at 7:30am to get the bus to my mates, and then playing Guitar Hero for a bit before we set off... Lovely!
Please check back later on the outcome of my day and stuff. It should be very interesting.

16:27pm - An interesting day it was! and what a brilliant day!. I left my house at 7:30am and got to Carl's at around 7:50am. We played a bit of Guitar Hero and San Andreas and left his to set of to work at around 9:45am as I had to be in at 10am.
We got into the car park and Carl goes, there's Sheila and her niece. I go to Carl, "wow she's pretty fit." We went into the Staff Reception on which Sheila and her niece were there.
Sheila saw me and Carl and goes Hey Carl and I assume your Damien, I go " Yeah ". She goes Welcome to the MEM Team, Danni here will be Training you. Danni was her niece and I was like OMG OMG!! I'm loving this job already. She was 16 and lives in Hemel Hempstead.She showed me what to do and then we went into the back to meet another girl who does all the Entertainment.
Her name was Chrissie OMG even though she was about 23-24, Wow! she was fit.
So.. 2 fit girls around me on my new job, how can this get better.It's a shame that I won't see Danni no more as she only trains new members, but I still see Chrissie all the time.
I had to sort all the Game, Album and DVD chart into order and replace new stock with old stock hat was out of the charts. Chrissie does all that sort of stuff at the back where she puts them in Security Boxes and while Carl and Danni were doing the Cosmetics and Make-Up.. I was at the back with Chrissie.I tell you something, me and her just clicked, we were having laughs as well as she was teaching me what to do and how do to things.
I made a pretty bad start but a funny start, I was packing the new DVDs into the Security Boxes ready to go onto the shop floor then I dropped one and knocked her radio aerial on the floor, she laughs at me because of my face.. I was like OMG great stuff.
After a while she was showing me around and before we had to take a few things to the shop floor we had some plastic bags and had to chuck them in this trolley. This man was pushing it and I had it on my left hand.. I can't throw with my left hand to save my life, I throw it.... over it goes and plonk! right on the man's head. Chrissie went off laughing her head off and the man laughs and goes... CHRISSIE!! take your helper away! and laughs!. Thank god they were only plastic bags!.
About 1 minute after Chrissie stopped laughing she goes' Your having a funny start, You've made my week. She goes, me and you are going to get on really well I can see. I go to her, according to Carl, he said make sure I don't get on your bad side and she goes, I'm only angry when things are getting really crazy down here but you have been working hard so I know you can help.
She loaded the trolley with about 2 crates of DVDs, 3 crates of Cd's and 1 crate of PS2 and PC Games. She goes, OK I'm going to leave you to get on I'm going to go up for my break, If you need anything, don't be worried to come up and get me.I only had to go to her twice. Once was where I forgot to put the Cd's and the other time to let her know I was done. She goes OK thanks a lot for that mate! and there was some locked Security Cases I had to open (had to use some sort of tool) and Opened them.
Just before I signed out I had to see Sheila about something and she was supposed to talk to me today but she hardly had anytime. I saw her and told me a 5 minute briefing on where I have to submit a form and then as I was on my way to the Staff Reception and saw Chrissie. I go to her, I'm about to sign out now and she goes Thank You for everything today and I will see you Monday. I go Yeah that's great, Thanks a lot for the help and advice, and she just gave me a smile.
I signed out and went to Carl's for about 30 minutes to 1 hour and then left to get the bus.I'm completely shattered and tired because of the 6:30am wake up call but to be honest, I can't wait until Monday! - To see Chrissie!
