No more shop runs?

It’s been one of those days at work where every time I’ve seen the only customer in finish up and planned on closing for 2 minutes, run over to Spar and grab some food - someone else has come up.
I can tell you it is so fucking annoying sitting here starving because customers just can’t stay away for 2 frigging minutes. In fact, I have a strong urge to just turn off all the computers, get everyone to leave, run over to the shop, get the food, and then let the customers back in.

Of course, that wouldn’t fare well for business - or my job

At least good old Paddy was there to do my shop run for me. He must realise I’m never able to go there myself cos every time he goes during one of his marathon internet sessions - he asks me if I want anything.

Well, maybe he needs some work on the locations of everything in Spar - yesterday I asked him to get me a King Pot Noodle for my lunch, preferably Curry flavour (I even told him exactly where to get them) - and he comes back with a non-King Pot Rice. At least he got Curry flavour.

Anyway, back to this morning - I realised the bitch machine had brought in a letter addressed to me and not told me. It was from 3V, apparently I had a voucher with €20 on it that expired at the end of January. So attached was a cheque for €17.50 (by know you should know they charge €2.50 to get back any funds on it) - so now I kinda have to lodge money into my student bank account.

It’s odd - I opened the student account at the start of the semester. I tried to put money into it a few days later and was told it hadn’t been fully activated yet. So I left it there. Since then I’ve received the ATM card for it, but never used it (well once to change my PIN but apart from that, haven’t used it at all) - which reminds me, I’ll need to put €20 into the account for the yearly Government levy on ATM/Debit cards.

So yea, I think I’m gonna have to drag myself to the bank (handily on campus :D) and lodge that cheque and another €100 that is my current 360 fund. Otherwise, I can guarantee you I’m gonna spend it on crap.
