so today the regional support team came to the store..... in particular our regional support officer

that was fun...

not.

the woman insists on calling everyone chickadee.. now i know i use sweetie and hunny all the time - normally friends. but to call someone youve met for like 5 minutes in a professional capacity chickadee??? suffice to say i did not take kindly to this...

im normally quite outgoing - to the extent my friends tell me off for chatting to people in shops, queues etc. with her? silence -shes annoying patronising condescending etc etc - now how, i ask myself, has she actually managed to get to a manager level?

she does have the occassional goods point - she is good at sales for example - but its borderline rude and agressive. shes good at keeping the paperwork all neat and tidy - but is incredibly pedantic about it when checking its been done correctly - you do not want to know the reaction if even a tiny tick is in the wrong place...

her voice though probably is her worst feature - heavily accented and loud enough to be heard for miles - what makes this worse is her desire to talk about her digestive system in detail and great length at a volume normally reserved for heavy metal gigs... honestly... yep it is that bad...

the only amusement to be had from her visit is her incredible similarity - in appearence at least to the 80's pop star sonia... well if she put on about 6stone... im by no means slim but she makes even my curviness look small....

but anyway ...

just had to let off some steam - espech as still trying to avoid the smokes (not going very well lol)
