4th March 2010: Happy Bosses, Chatty Chavs And Theft
Free Music: Clubbed To Death by Escala (Yep, still on the modern classical kick)

I am telling you, things are getting stranger and stranger at The Store.  First up, The Bombshell wasn't just happy, he was really happy last night.  So strange.  I mean, he even said goodbye to me.  That is practically unheard of.  I am going to be really worried if I get an invite into The Clique.  Although to a certain extent, I do understand it.  I think people, especially The Boss have realised that I know a LOT about The Store, and it scares them senseless that if I went in a bad way, I might reveal all the naughtiness they get up to.  And they do get up to a lot of naughtiness behind the scenes.

But then, to add to the wierdness, Queen Chav is being really friendly to me.  I mean, she's chatting with me, being nice to me, a complete reversal from 2 months ago when she was being a complete bitch to me and finding every excuse under the sun to slap me down.  But hey, that is Queen Chav.  She is is nice to me for a few months, then an absolute cow, then goes back to being nice.  No reason or sign is given for these changes.  It just happens and I am supposed to deal with it.  She is such an odd individual. 

I was just sitting here thinking about how to make a little money from this blog, and it hit me something that The Scotsman said to me.  We were discussing a certain member of staff who takes DVDs home, copies them and then brings them back.  Now, The Scotsman said that he felt it was OK because it wasn't stealing.  I told him I disagreed, because you didn't pay for the movie, which at that moment belonged to The Store.  Which he countered with the argument that I said that I felt downloading movies was fine but this wasn't.  I said when people download movies, the movie belongs to no-one (except, the really thin argument of the movie industry) but this is an item paid for by a business therefore it belongs to the business.  He told me I should still do it too.  Anyway, I digress.  The thing is, if I wanted, I could use our advance copies of albums and upload music to Grooveshark (they who provide the music here) and get paid by them for the uploads.  And I thought about it, but I've decided against it.  Though my morals may be thin on the ground, I'd never steal from an employer.  No need to.  I have money - I pay for what I want from The Store.  This said, I have told The Boss that I'd steal the spare touchscreen monitor we have at The Store if he didn't put it somewhere more secure.  It vanished the next day.
