Well what a day, fun, excitement, tension,
deadlines and a lot of fun. The drama
that shaped the day started late at night the day before when the chillers at
work stopped working. I have no idea of
how the drama unfolded but I do know it made the nightshifts life a living hell
that had a knock on effect for most of the following day. This meant we could not shop as normal and
that we were behind too. Only through
teamwork did we manage to pull it off and we did. Everyone from the top down got their hands
dirty and pulled out all the stops. It
was hard work, scrappy but a lot of fun and I would do it again any time. I even got to help out stocking the shelves
before going shopping which felt good.
Getting involved in other aspects of the business other than online
shopping is a lot of fun.
It would seem that my new nickname has stuck;
it is now either Socky Si, Socks or Si now.
I have also been told I was very braving in taking and posting the
photographs that started all this nickname business. I don’t know what peep’s mean by brave, I can
only assume but I do not see it like that.
We each have our own way of expressing ourselves whether it is painting,
acting, signing, dancing, fitness, writing, talking, well most pastimes,
hobbies or activities. Me well it is my
photography first and fore most that allows me to explore and express myself
and this blog is starting to prove itself as well.
Is it brave to express one’s feelings and
emotions so openly, I guess so if you are not able accept the reactions of
those around you? Aside from my inner
most thoughts and feelings I have very little to hide away from the world. I am not proud I have a drinking problem and
being open and honest about it is giving me the strength to overcome it. Taking the step to photograph it helps, I am
proud of the photographs, as they are some of the most personal and meaningful
to date. Yes they might not be to
everyone’s taste, they might not have much meaning to some but they represent
me at the time and my battle with alcohol.
In some respects I have started to draw
strength from being open about the issues I face and about my experiences
living in the colouful world around me.
I know that my words are simple as is the outlook I have and as with
blogs past I struggle with my grammar and sometimes the message. But I draw strength spending time writing
these posts and taking photographs.
I can honestly say that taking each day at
a time has helped and not making any plans until I get up, bar work, means I
get up with a clear mind ready to take on the day. For me that is enough at the moment but I
intend to start making plans as when my confidence allows me to. It is time to start waking up the parts of
this sleepy cheeky chap, parts that have been dormant far to long.
I also want to take the next step at work
too, no not go for team leader roles, but my shopping is still scrappy and
untidy and I need to pull that together.
I know I can refine my shopping and start to use my experience to date
to be a better shopper. I also need to
buy another belt as my trousers are getting baggier and baggier and I cannot
afford new trousers at present. In fact
it looks like I am not going to make it to next payday but one day at a time.
Well that is all for now, time this sleepy chap
went to bed, it sounds like tomorrow could be another busy day.
Lets bang some trolleys together tomorrow
peeps.
Oh and to the poorly member of the
breakfast club, get well soon.
Until the next time take care.

P.S In fact I no longer want to be called
Simon, Si, Socky Si and there is only one person who can call me just Socks.
