Some of you may know that I work for major UK supermarket chain as a checkout operatior. Man what a day I had, customer after customer, and it was tiring. I'll be glad when the holiday period is over and we get back to full staff strength!
Interesting thing at work is that it doesn't matter how many checkouts are open - people only ever want to use the first few open checkouts, as they cant be bothered to walk to the ones further down. This annoys me if I am on one of the first checkouts they come to as it means I am more busy than other checkouts. How I wish a member of staff was employed to show customers to a checkout, thus making the checkouts more efficient!
That is all I got time for - will blog again soon!

Meet the Asshole
What an interesting day I have had! I am one of those people who is a complete asshole some of the time, and says silly things to people! However today I realised that I need to change this so that I can become a better person otherwise I am going to loose the friends I have.
I guess one of the reasons I am an asshole is that I get pissed off alot! Espcially when friends do things that I do not like, I know that I shouldnt get pissed off, but I do and that is stupid, as 99% of the time my friends have a good reason for doing something I don't like. The good thing to come out of this is the fact that I will be arranging to see a counsellor to sort myself out once and for all, as i cant expect my friends to help me fix things this time, as I need professional help!

Penguin Power
Recently I have modified my computers setup, and now have a dual boot PC system running SuSE Linux 9.1 and Windows XP. I must say that Linux is great, and much nicer to work with than windows, for example I only have to click one icon to go on to the net, rather than in windows where it can take 2-5 clicks to get online! Using Kopete, the provided IM package is great as I can connect to AOL, ICQ, Jabber MSN and Yahoo! in an easy to use package, and not worry about will I be able to connect to x service - as it connects to all services fast, without any problems.
If you are a Windows user and you are fed up with bugs and crashes then Linux is for you. I would say that Linux can do what windows can - I can read MS Word documents in Linux, play my MP3's and even access all my Windows files as well. Best of all Linux is a free download, or cheap if you go buy it in a shop - I paid £24.99 for it, and it came with the operating system, a try before you install CD, loads of programs inlcluding Real Player, OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox etc.

Sheyla Bonnick and the Sounds of Boney M
Click here for Sheyla's site
What a sham. It seems everyone wants to get in on the act of forming their own Boney M group. We now have Sheyla Bonnick, who was one of the original members, who left after 6months, to be replaced by Marcia "Griffiths" according to her website.
I think it is disgusting that there are 5 Boney M versions touring the world. I think there should only be 2 formations that are allowed to tour - Boney M feat Marcia Barrett and Boney M feat Liz Mitchell as they are the only 2 members who actually performed on Boney M's recordings. At Sheyla's site have a listen to her perfoming - she has used some Boney M backing tracks, and made some of her own, but it is clearly obvious that this is not Boney M!
