Lavender Haze

My love how r u?!?!?!?! 🥺

I’m good baby… I’ve lathered myself with essential oils this evening… I even put lavender on the soles of my feet…

Oh?! U can do that?

I dunno, I’m experimenting with it.

My calves are sore so I’ve got another muscle relief blend on them.

And I have a “stress away” roll on that I used on my temples… 😌

Wow… I wanna try it…

Yeah I can get u a bottle when ur here…

Have u had a stressful evening?

No… not as stressful as last year…

Last year?

Tonight was our annual work stock take…

Oh?

Have u ever done a stock take before?

No… 😅

U’ve never worked anywhere that u had to do a stock take?

No……..?! 😅😅😅

Babyyyyyyy…

I’ve lived a sheltered life in recording booths and dance studios…

Lol…

Well at other places I’ve worked… every work place has slightly different ways of doing stock take.

There was one place where we literally filled out pen on paper with clipboard…

Whaaaaat?!

Yeah… thankfully this place isn’t like that.

How long ago was the pen on paper place?!

Lol… more than 10 years ago now.

Wow…

Yeah. Oh I just remembered, we had pens, paper, clipboards, and calculators!

CALCULATORS… OMGGGGG… 🫠

It was literally a MANUAL COUNT. My love. Other than the calculators. I would call that an analog stock take.

Every other stock take has been slightly more digital. At least scan the bar code and enter the quantity into a hand held thingy.

Uhuh… I can’t believe u’ve done manual stock take with pens, paper and CALCULATORS… that’s so funny to me 🤣🤣🤣

Well who knows?! Maybe employers will want to bring it back?!

Maybe we can’t rely on digital, we can’t rely on AI, we should bring back MANUAL stock takes?!?!?!

R u serious?!?!?

No. Just kidding lol…

What did u do with the pieces of paper?

The manager at the time then entered our tallies from the papers into another separate spreadsheet she had on her computer.

Oh… interesting…

Again. This was over ten years ago.

Lolololol… 😅😅😅

Every store is different.

Tonight they had pizza and lollies…

One of the other past workplaces had charcuterie boards!

Hahahahahahhahaa… which do u prefer?

Pizza makes sense for this place. Charcuterie will be too messy and fiddley with this store environment.

But how did the other place have charcuterie?!

It was a smaller team. And just a different vibe, I dunno how to explain it. But it suited the other past workplace. We could nibble on it throughout the stock take.

Awww… that sounds more bougie than pizza… 😅

Lol yeah… it was a more bougie store… hahahahaa… 🤪

What about the pen on paper place?

Omg I’m suddenly remembering… they ordered SUBWAY.

Subway?!

Yeah! 🤣🤣🤣

At the start of the stock take the assistant manager took everyone’s subway order and by the lunch break we all had our subway! Whatever we wanted!

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA 🤣🤣🤣

Ur finding this amusing my love?

Yeah… I haven’t had these kinds of experiences!!!

Omg why don’t u just do those youtube videos where u have to do a regular person’s job for a day…

Hahahahaha… okay I’ll talk to the bros about it!

Lol… 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️

U seem like ur in a better mood?

Only because I’m chatting to you 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️

Mmmm… any stress tomorrow?

Plenty

I can’t even think about it.

I just have to go to sleep and deal with it tomorrow.

Oh… okay…

I don’t wanna say anything to jinx it. I just gotta take it day by day.

Pray for more miracles, that’s all I can say.

Mmmmm… did u catch up on any other content?

I haven’t had time my darling… 

That’s okay!

Is there anything you’ve been watching?

I don’t watch anything unless u’ve mentioned it. I just catch up on whatever you’ve been watching.

Then what do u do on nights like this where I haven’t mentioned anything?

I started listening to Grimes… cos u mentioned her… I started going back listening to her earlier stuff…

I’m not that familiar with her earlier stuff… she’s still an unknown to me. Like I know her but I don’t know her discography.

Then why do u like her?!

I don’t know if I do?! I think I’m curious… I’m curious to see what else she does… is she gonna embrace the cyber punk techno pop princess?

Lol…

Any other messages from your “boyfriends” — ?! 👀

Actually no… they haven’t messaged anything on bubble this evening…

Ehehehehe…

U don’t need to be jealous. We talk way more than them!

Lol… I know 🥰💕😘❤️❤️❤️❤️
