Reckless Driving can lead to Stalking!!!!

Posted in Work at 13:01 by Joanne Crotty

and this is how….

right mum was driving me to work this morning, and my sister and her boyfriend were going shopping where i work anyways so we were all in the car. So mums driving and the person in front (in their company car) was being really stupid, he was driving slowly then speeding off and stopping suddenly and it was annoying us but we didnt do anything about it till he did a major stop in the hope we’d go into his car, so i took down his lince place number and the name of his company. Then we got to a roundabout, so we tried to over take to which he opened his window and was swearing at us all and tryed to run us in the round about 3 times!

So we pull off at our turning of the round about and he follows, driving really close and again trying to run us off the road once again. so we over took a van and he stayed in between us, untill we reached the next round about and he pulled off and mum then dropped me at work.

10minutes after getting in to work my mum, sister and her boyfriend are standing at my till point explaining to me that he has just followed them into three different stores, following them up and down the racks and what not. We told me supervisor and he said just to keep a look out. After about 5 minutes my family decide he must have gone by now because he hasn’t came into my store and they couldn’t see him outside.

As soon as my family walked out the store and was half way down the shopping center i saw the driver following them. I went straight and told my supervisor who then told me to go out after my family. I ran out the store down the stairs to where i saw my family heading towards me.

They had also seen him and gone into Next. We all went back to my store and reported to my supervisor who sent us down to security and they in turn after hearing it all, wanted to ring the police, mum didnt want too but i made sure that the shopping centers security was watching out for them before they left.

Now I did the stupid thing of running out of the main entrance to work after my family today, with also my work t-shirt saying the name of the store across the back. So I had to be stationed at my till point today, incase he came in as he saw me when he pulled up his car next to ours…what a bad day to sit in the front eh! Good was I had a nice big button to push if he came in and security would remove him and a security guard placed on the shot floor……

Idiot drivers eh!!!!

My New Job

Posted in Uncategorized at 13:01 by Joanne Crotty

Seeing as I have lots of free time on my hands at the moment, I thought it may be time I got another job. A proper one… So down in Basildon East-gate center they had their normal Christmas Job fair.

Now 3 places in Basildon need extra staff so if you looking for a weekend job up until news years, maybe leading on to a job afterwards go down to there before Thursday. There are Debenhams, BHS, and Toys “R” Us.

I went down with Mum to do some shopping for college and thought hey I need a better job, nothing hurts in applying and I got offered an interview that day, so I thought what the hell. Didn’t really thinking of holding out much hope as I didn’t have anything on me like a CV but yeah at least it would be some practices.

Now the guy from my interview, Alan, really nice man, He runs the Home department on the 1st floor. He said because I was so positive and cheerful he offered me the job there and then! which is very informal for Debenhams apparently!

So for the next 13 weeks I am a Sales Adviser in the Home Department of Debenhams on Saturdays and Sundays….Hopefully it will lead onto a proper weekend Job!!! :)

My Results day!

Posted in Uncategorized at 13:01 by Joanne Crotty

Right! Getting back from Soul Survivor a mer few hours before to be awoken by mum at 8:30 in the morning and told Vicky had txt me and I was to reply quicky, have a shower and then run for the bus!

I got off the bus looking a state. Tired, wet hair, cold, and misrable at the weather as it had only just turned nice weather in Summerset where camp was!!! I met Amanda and Tracy walking towards the school and then suffered the nervous phone call from my daddy saying I had around 7 mins till my results where to be released! I met Emma at the gates and we walked round to find Vicky crying at her results. THE STUPID GIRL! she got A’s B’s and C’s. The C’s where why she was crying as she believes she should have done better.

I went into the hall and collected my results. Looking around at the misrable poeple in the hall I woundered if it was the results or the time of the morning that put the frowns on their faces. After alot of jumping about and refusing to open or letting anyone else open my results i did it and read History C!!! wooo one out of 5 I needed! Maths D, well what did you expect, better then a U. 

Over all :

History – C / Maths - D / Resistant Materials Higher tier – C / Drama - C / English Lit – C / English Lang – D / R.E – C / Science – D / Child Development – D

I bounced with joy as I knew I was into college! No matter what. I got my phone out and rung mum and daddy to tell them!  then txting a few people then running into Matt, Who got the same results as me! wooo college eh matt!!!

Then to Vickys for food and the brentwood and then Jacks to watch tv with Trudie Matt George and Jack!

My Examinations

Posted in School, Uncategorized at 13:01 by Joanne Crotty

I think these things called “Exams” are the most useless and pointless things in existence! I especially hate at the end when you have finished before the time has and you left sitting there checking your paper or not even that just sitting doing nothing. I think the worse part is sitting there knowing that however long you have left you can still change your life by improving your marks or completely muck things up!

(But you know if you even touch that paper your 30mins left become 3!)

I had my resistant materials exam a few weeks ago and I had finished the paper and hour into the two hour time frame, so I checked I’d answered the all questions (yes) then checked my seat (was right) then check my tier of the paper (I thought I was taking foundation but was terribly wrong and my timetable said higher…. And sooo bored out of my mind! I sit there watching a ticking clock. Surely the examiners could just let us go!?! So I look down at the desk and see carved into it “I’m a Little Teapot, Short and Spout”….SURELY THIS IS THE LAST THING TO THINK OF IN AN EXAM!

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (At Worlds End) – Don’t Read If You Aint Seen It!

Posted in Uncategorized at 13:01 by Joanne Crotty

Well what can be said about this film….Twas very very good! 3 hours of starring at Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom! What more could a girl ask for!!! Its like Christmas!

 The Film itself well, seeing as the second one was a basically a big trailer for this one…..um lets say it has high expectations! Never the less it still impressive and shocking! ( Yes I gasped when Will gets stabbed! as Jordan had fun laughing at me after!)

Still from the beginning! Its a slow start with an open ending leaving space for a forth! (fingers crossed) but if another is to pursue lets hope its not as long, as 3 and 1/2 Hours of nice guys is good but arse-numbing all the same! So much so there are have intervals at cinema! But just when you think its happy ever after for Elizabeth and Will and Jack can sail away with his beloved (and ever changing) crew…..Nothing is ever as it seems, and doom and eternity collide into one another.
