LOL Rant #1

I have to laugh to myself sometimes, because otherwise I would go insane… Here are some of the primary ‘Lol’ themes that arose through the day at work.

#1-Torture Chamber
The place slightly reminds me of a torture mansion or maze because there is this 13 long song playlist (or whatever) that plays on loop ALL DAY. So during my five hour shift, my mind becomes exceedingly stagnant and increasingly numb to the repetitiveness. I hear every song on average 7 times. There’s only 2 of them I like, both of which I have embedded below. The rest are too bitterly jolly, jingle-like, bouncy, p*ssing-you-right-off music, that go on for too long and don’t have lyrics, but when they do they are meaningless and generic words and performed by big burly middle-aged women.

SONG 1- Sunny by Marvin Gaye Mercury Edit 2
SONG 2- Come With Me by Nora En Pure

#2- Customer Disservice
This basically means when a staff member gets so agg by the constant influx of tourists-come-shoppers, occupying and messing up the shop, that they do not want to provide customer service or if they do, it is half arsed with their eyes ablaze with hidden anger. (obviously whilst suppressing the want to hit someone and whacking on a cheesy smile and high-pitched voice.) This emotion was mostly apparent from 430pm to the end of my shift- peak agg time.

#3- Employee Kiln
It was that hot on the mezzanine shop floor, today my muscles ached. I felt like I was wearing knitwear all day and could spontaneously implode, but in reality I was wearing a short-sleeved polo. My face was radiating heat and I was a very warm colour most of the afternoon. Thank you A********** for unsatisfactory comfort working conditions, and ensuring I wouldn’t need to go for a run later because only a lie down would save me. It felt like we were a little ant farm getting cooked in our house all day, with no air con and an abundance of warm yellow display lights. Ew.
