Mad Madge calls us “you girls”, I don’t know if she keeps forgetting our names because if she needs to talk about one of us in particular she said “one of you girls”. I don’t want to be too mean about Madge, she is very nice and tries her hardest to tell us what to do without bossing us about, I don’t know how long she’s been in the shop business, but she seems a bit flaky about everything, sometimes she doesn’t seem to know quite what she’s supposed to be doing. She keeps talking about the opening as if she was opening Buckingham Palace or something. She was going on about providing champagne, but I said that most of her customers wouldn’t be able to drink it, Imogen kicked me in the leg, but Madge looked at me as if I was Einstein and said “Oh yes I hadn’t thought of that, well done!” I said that she should offer people a five per cent discount on their first buy as an opening gift, which she thought was a good idea but was worried because she couldn’t get any signs printed in time for the opening. Now Imogen and I have to greet everyone at the door and tell them that – Imogen is livid with me, but Jenny and Lisa didn’t seem to be listening to much of it. Imogen and I have to start at 9 tomorrow and work until 12, then Lisa is working 12 til 4 and Jenny has to do 4 til 8, she was a bit annoyed at that, but Madge said that she would do the afternoon on Friday and Imogen and I would do the late as it would be busy then – great, working til 8 on a Friday.
