Fortunately I start my new job next week so I was only a week away from leaving but all my friends are now redundant. Two days before Christmas as well, not very nice.

It was pretty wierd- I worked there when I was in college, and used to get toldd off if there was a space on the shelf after restocking- and there it was, half the shop empty. I feel sorry for the manager, he was a nice guy. I went into the one in Warrington today but it’d already been picked clean.
