The experiment continued today. Still nothing.

Friday 14th August

Just headiing to work early.
Already done #followfriday on twitter. Say hi for your own one. This was at 6.30am

It wasnt a good day at work really. Because of a mistake I made last night I had to be in work for 8am.

I have had to put myself on the till more, which means when a problem comes along I dont get the amount of time to deal with it which I am used to. I had a problem which had to be resolved by Steve and Charles in Essentials. I didn't feel good about that one. I hate them getting my problems.

After the busy morning, when the rain was only showers, I got to do the rota and timesheet this afternoon. Everyone is happy this coming week with the rota.

I got finished work and got home about 7.40pm.

I am just watching Virgin 1 tonight.

I didn't get many responses this morning, so lets see if tonight gets any more more. I tried my experiment again today.

Thursday 13th August

Well nice time after visiting Ian. At work I tried to work with Ann some of the time today. I needed lots of help from Ann and the rest of the staff.

The ice cream is nearly fixed. We will be fully ok after we see a joiner for the door. I have to go in early Friday.

Got my bus home on time tonight, a woman was heading south of New Cumnock and had to try and catch a train at Auchinleck. Bus got them there in plenty of time.

I then had membership stuff and other website stuff for Cumnock Rugby at home before heading to rugby club.

I also tried my experiment again where I wear shorts below my jeans when I outside.
Nobody noticed as usual. It was tartan colour shorts. Bed time for me now.

no more pics today on thomasblah.

You will all be glad to hear thats all the pics for thomasblah today.

I am changed my dashboard so that the photos that I take on my phone go onto cumnockrugby for this evening. I don't know if they will want photos, we shall see.

It isn't Cumnock games, more regional.

Oh dear its been a bad day. Firstly about 24 hrs ago i lost my weekly bus ticket with 2 full days to payday. Walked to mum 2 miles away to borrow cash. Meant i walked 4 extra miles last night. Got home and bed just after 11pm.

Got up 6am as normal, shaved about 630 and hear on westfm dunure rd was closed (thats main rd to work). Head to ayr after getting ready.

Get on bus to work, still closed and we only run to doonfoot. So go there and bus stop there 850 (shop opens 900. Walk mile and a half/2 miles very quickly arrive 910 shop open.

Now i was 1st walker in from that bus and other staff arrive later. I dont get much peace during day. Trying to push staff to do there work, others bril as usual.
Ice cream ok
Until 430 when it went mad. Couldnt deal with tills until we were closed. Finished 530 and got lift to ayr.

Guess what i am doing tonight. NOTHING.

My week

Good morning, well thankfully it's payday.

This past week has been busy at work, still no sign of Rachel. Leonie, we are getting there. Claire stays on till as normal.
Ann and Myra very busy with me.
It's the Glasgow fair so yes the shop is busier then next Tuesday we have the Head Office visitor again and Steve wants a lot of new stuff in before that we also have a lot of redoing of stuff over the weekend.
Cumnock Rugby Club - had main committee meeting Monday and I have some membership stuff to do and a little bit on blogsite and chatboard.

Ive been on ebay this morning and bought a mouse as my current one is playing up. Ive even topped up my electric and gas as well. Now I am going to listen to Chris Moyles for next couple of hours. I can't guarantee I will get Golden Hour.

How does that look today.

This was it dry this morning as I was waiting for my bus in Auchinleck to head to work. I dont think the rain wasn't far. I was through Catrine and it was raining heavily.

New ice cream

Doesnt it look nice.

i told all of you the ice cream was being done and today after Ann and Myra worked on the window and the rest of ice cream counter. They said does it look nice, I agreed and said I was taking a picture.

So do the rest of you think it look nice.

new blog on bebo

more about little old me

Well I notice its about 60 days since I blogged here, so thought I would do another one. I am still having trouble with cumnockrugby.com old website, so haven't got that running yet. I do have a committee meeting at Cumnock Rugby Club on next Monday to see if I can get a webhost. I cant upload web pages directly from this pc. I continue to use http://cumnockrugby.blogspot.com and http://cumnockrugby.proboards.com for the rugby club.

After going to see the Ghosties in ABC2 in Glasgow I decided because I can photos on my phone and publish them on a blog I needed another blog, not for rugby, just me.

So I created another blog called http://thomasblah.blogspot.com (yeah thomas blah, thought it covered me).

So there I post pics of weather, especially rain in Auchinleck. Thought I have on telly and radio and anything I am getting big into including the trouble in iran a few weeks ago. I have a few people who already know it. I also included a feed of my twitter feeds (I am supposedly 2nd in ayrshire as largest user). Linda knows how much tweeting can be easy (and I can do it when I am travelling as well).

David was up here a few weeks ago. It was good to see him.

Mum has been seeing Sally and the rest through in fife.

Work; well Rachel has been off sick for a couple of weeks. So I have Myra and Ann assisting me while I still supervise. Unfortunately for them they both don't get the same day off together. Thats just the way we all agree to keep it, especially considering this is the school holidays. Steve and the rest in Essentials do assist us as well.

Rainbow near ochiltree

The rain is bad

Thats the rain outside

I need to go out later this afternoon and I hear the rain pouring down. Not good.

blah

Well I thought it was a good name. Hope all the few readers I have are enjoying this. I don't get much feedback apart from twitter when I mention you specifically.

Work. Monday was a lot better, I went at my own pace, not trying to rush around. Just getting the stuff done with Myra. Had to be strict on tills a bit, including moving refunds to one till. Leonie I think is learning more about me. That includes times when I don't say much. I didn't do much when I got home that night. Just did some internet with twitter. I am trying to get not just 6 hours sleep. Lets see how we get on.

Tuesday woke up as usual 6am but no signal for my internet connection (argh). I got to work 8am, sent some faxes, photocopied had breakfast and opened with Ann and Claire later. Got a surprise order in (not too large). It was a nice day. Last night I had quick dinner and went to Cumnock Rugby Club to get a few updates. I am glad to say more members have paid this seasons membership already. It's only 10 training sessions until 1st game though. I just try to remind Under 18s to do Irb laws on rugby website as thats part of the process to play senior rugby.

Other news my friend Michelle (atleast I hope were still friends) is engaged. She announced it on 11 July. She has a very good man. She told me Sunday night as some of you may know I have a crabbit side. She said she told some people and I tried to make a joke out of it, but my bad mood stopped this happenning and I just bit back at her asking stupid things. I had just finished my 10-7 shift and was really tired. There is no excuses for what I did.

I know I have a tough side. I think I need to sometimes, just sometimes I can get me trouble with friends.

Ok, change the subject: TV AND RADIO

Chris Moyles has been very funny in the morning I am glad to say and glad he has a new contract for 12 more months. I wish he would do Strictly Come Dancing. Chris also basically doesn't like the Sun because they print lies about him. End of that subject.

Holly Willoughby is joining Philip Schofield on ITV This Morning from September. Very good decision.

ALL OTHER THINGS INTERNET
Snedwan, I just listened to your latest podcast.

That woman, its good you are closing the subject
Paris, very unfair you getting a good French team. I hope you complete your plan. Glad the walking helped you for Great North Run.
The last point was also very good.

Barry Snedden gave me a mention of Kigndom FM last week on air. I didn't know he was going to do that. Cheers Barry.

I also got another of my tweets read on Quest Means Business on CNNI about working Sundays. It probably helped I tweet almost immediately after he put the question out.

Also I won a competition on twitter along witha few other from The Green Welly on Friday. They announced the winners today.

I also enjoyed reading Caldjr blog on last week. Hard work.

Oh and Cumnock Chronicle has joined twitter.

It my day off tomorrow. Lets see what happens then.

This weekend

Well what an interesting weekend. Friday got paid and got some stuff paid. The 90 hours fortnights are showing a benefit.

After Cumnock Rugby Club thursday night, I tried to publish website from my computer. I couldn't. I still need to talk to Alex/Harry and a guy we need to speak to.

The players were to have a meeting after training. The guys had a discussion with who was there but another date will be set for them before 1st game.

Work. I am doing the rota for Treasures at the moment and after this week where I struggled with only me +1 member of staff from 4-5 Steve has gave me somebody else.

It's Leoni. She was working Essentials before. I have the rota how I want it now, everybody else seems happy as well. It also means we (Ann and Myra) can get lots of merchandising done. We got a new ice-cream freezer/counter on my day off.

I watched Torchwood ofcourse. I was a bit worried about Captain Jack Harkness just giving up but he sorted it in the end.

Saturday I worked 9-6, it was a very productive day.

Today we still did a lot but the end of the day I could only mop floor after we were closed. I finished at 7pm. I only got home at 8.30pm and used microwave for dinner. Yum.

There isnt a lot else I can say. Colin Mcardle tune last night was good.

I am also glad for twitter, especially Caldjr and SnedwanSnedwan website and his #asksnedwan twitter hashtag.

Are there castles ìn the sky

When I was going home tonight after working 9-6 I sent a text to westfm and the Dance Show with Colin (the mcman) Mcardle requesting Castles In the Sky as I was heading home to Auchinleck on the bus. It was around tarbolton I sent the text to the right number 61025 and by Mauchline he had said on the radio "I have a radio on my phone as well that my tune was next. yes. He started playing it just after I left Mauchline (where the picture is taken). It was a great tune to end a good day. I hope Colin is ok tomorrow. He finishes at 10pm tonight and is onair at 6am Sunday morning (live) I will be listening again when I head to work for 10am start.
