Always late to these things, but I rented Superman, to watch as something to take my mind off a cold and Christmas stress. My goodness what a film, had me geeking out several times. Such a happy nerd just now.

It’s great getting age verification when buying alcohol. Staff comes over looks me up and down, yeah your old enough just.
Thanks, if you look at my work badge it says I started working here when you were ten.
In my forties and this never gets old.

Saw a fox whilst walking home from work today. So it’s not all bad

That it is raining, just caps off a day that has been an Absolute Shower™️ at work. Understaffed, under appreciated and under paid. An old refrain. But for the love of god, don’t go into retail. It’s the worst.

Waking up to get ready for work with no sign of sunlight till your twenty minutes into you shift is a crime against me personally

Seasonal depression, or just depression kicking in last night. Went to bed at half eight. Like to say waking up after all that sleep would find me rested but I think I need a whole month to pass by like that tbh

It may be an odd thing to be proud of, but I like how my book shelves look. They aren’t beautiful, but it pleases me no end to see them filled as they are with comic books.

Meal deal changing at Asda because ‘health reasons’ has nerfed a good offer. Sometimes you just wanted to down two cans of monster with you cheese and onion sandwich you know.

It as if they can’t empathise at all. I know you have only asked me once if I have any, but I have been ask well over a dozen times. This twitch comes with the empty trays Madame

Honestly, customers need to check their tone when they ask if we have something in when presented with clearly empty shelves and no stock. Of course I’ll just go out back and magic some out my arse for you. Get real.

Love that for me, walking back from my Partners, only to come across two England flags just as I get to my street. The f is wrong with you all

Anyway, be my 25th year of working retail, I can dress up smart if need be, I like to think of my self as easy to get on with- if you have a team that need someone like me, think of me next time you want to fill a position

Get back off of lunch to get on with the usual routine and I get the dirtiest of looks from the store manager- one thing I will give ‘em, yes there were a couple of spots on the shop floor that needed seeing to, but come on my guy. There are better ways of getting good work out of your employees

Love going to work to be treated like a kid.

I am fed up of living in unprecedented times, no scratch that. I am fed up of seeing history repeat itself. Like why is it always the bad stuff that comes back around? When was the last good thing that happened in the world attributed to ‘history repeating itself’ ?

VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

Can someone explain why I have the Super Ted theme tune stuck in my head
May 29, 2025 at 10:23 AM
Watched Captain America: Brave New World, and have to say it was pretty solid. Kinda feel like the cap films are some of the best.

Is this a dagger which I see before me [Press R1 for LIGHT ATTACK], The handle toward my hand [Press R2 for HEAVY ATTACK]? Come, let me clutch thee [Hold R2 for CHARGE ATTACK].

I have thee not, and yet I see thee still [Press L1 + R2 for PHANTOM ATTACK (expends Ghost Power)].

Still got two small ish book shelves to go through. This has been fun, going through them and reminding myself of what I love about comic books and collecting them.

Read this in one go this morning before I set off for work. Now that I’m back from my shift I’m going to look into getting the rest of the series. This is the best kind of weird.

Miffed, but happy that Israel didn’t win. Maybe they need more YouTube ads

Well another Eurovision with my fave not winning and the U.K. getting 0 from the public. Le sigh 😮‍💨
