It’s annoying how often stuff like that happens. Did the security even bother coming over to talk to you?

He was sat by the entrance where the security gate is. Some goods (like these strips) have a little "security patch" on them which is supposed to deactivate at the tillpoint, but obviously some of them don't. To be fair he did apologise (not that it particularly bothered me that much; perhaps having worked in retail you kind of see it from the other side as well), but it can be a bit alarming (pardon the pun) since it alerts all and sundry to the fact that you might be a thief!

Can’t say it ever botheres me if the alarms go off as I walk through them. It happens regularly enough (not me setting them off, them simply being activated) that I doubt many actually think the people setting them off are thieves. Tbh I just continue walking like nothings happened because frankly it hasnt, I’ve paid for my stuff and someone’s either failed to remove or deactivate a tag. I’m surprised the security guys don’t try stopping me though, it happened recently when I bought a suitcase. Anything could have been in it realistically.

I used to work for a luggage concession years ago and a couple of people (on seperate occasions) actually stole my suitcases to use to steal other stuff!
 
I'm enjoying the start of some holiday from work; I'm off now until next Wednesday. I'm not going anywhere (I don't really enjoy actually going "on holiday" somewhere), but I do enjoy a nice break from work. I've got more holiday booked for the end of August too, and 8 more days still to book before the end of the year.

It's baking hot here though already! I really want to get some chores done today so I don't have to do them over the weekend, so I'll probably just do a bit at a time.

Thankfully it’s not quite that hot over here. At a bit at a time is the only way to do chores, hate having them pile up and having to spend ages doing them in one go!
 
In a word... HOT 🔥

Waaaaaaaaaay too hot for my job, but I've only got 2 deliveries left in the 2 and a half hours left of my shift, so I can take it nice and easy.

I'd rather spend the time getting things done; even if I don't finish it right away, if I can get a significant chunk done, then I'm happy. It just saves having to leave things build up unecessarily to the point where it gets out of hand - if you stay on top of things, you're not having to spend ages on other days trying to sort it all out!

I'm just practically minded like that I guess! 😄 😅
