In Between Days

Saturday. 
Had an awful start. It lasted until 12ish as I went for break, anything that could go wrong did go wrong. Firstly the till I was working on wasn't working properly. Then the one I moved to the note checker was down. Then we had a leaky milk all over the belt and me, then a customer hadn't got their payment card so we had to do a saved transaction. Then finally, I had a fuss budget, who had to put her shopping slowly into certain bags. I swear she took 10 minutes to pack her shopping. Three people behind her were mad as all hell. 
I went for break, and luckily things improved. Days like that strip your soul, it's like wading in treacle trying to get through the day. Even though the afternoon got better, by the time I finished I was knackered. Jane got me a relief at four so we made the Calverton. 
We thought we'd missed the 33 as the tram was a bit slow, but as we crossed the tracks the driver of the 33 pulled up to let us on. How kind was that? See there are decent drivers out there... 
Sunday.
Grotty weather. Muggy and damp with that drizzle that soaks you. 
Decent enough day with all my regular customers in the morning. Busy right through to the last. But we got the 58 OK which means we got the Cotgrave in plenty time. 
We watched Sherwood, each episode leaves you with a sense of despair, some people are just pure evil. Yes I know these are characters in a drama, but these events are based on actual cases, and although some things are exaggerated, on the whole, people like that do exist. Scary thought...
