About Me

Hi, I am bottleshop girl.  I work in a bottleshop.   I sell copious amounts of alcohol and cigarettes to the local legends, workers and bogans of my town, with the odd good looking fella thrown in here and there.  I love my job.  Its fun, its social, its easy, non-stressful and I go home and leave it there.  Work is not work for me and that’s the way I like it.  I have been there for one year now and I still love it.  Recently, I even got my forklift licence so I can move pallets of beer.  How cool is that?  (btw, its fun).  The people I work with are fantastic.  We laugh, we joke and make jokes and each others’ expense.  Even in front of the customers and they laugh with us.  We have our regular customers and they love us too because we are happy and provide fun and efficient service.  in one year, my work buddies have become some of the best friends in my life.  In fact, the bottleshop saved me.  It saved me from depression after the end of my marriage.  Suddenly, my work buddies lit up my life and now, I couldn’t imagine my life without them.   The bottelshop is my life.  Hence my name, bottleshopgirl.

I haven’t blogged before.  I don’t know what to expect or what I should do other than string together some rather interesting words in a concise sentences to form a somewhat amusing blog for you to read.  I will try and hope I succeed.  Let me know what you think.  Please.  I do like to write.  I love words.  the English language and the way you can express yourself through words, written for a particular intent or feeling.  I haven’t played much with writing before.  Its always been there, ever since high school but I’ve never tapped into it.  Not quite sure why.  At times I have in my previous career and then at University.  But, perhaps I never had the right avenue, as I hate journal writing and don’t know much on how to write a book (although have often had the fantasy to do so).  I can touch type.  I love to type and I love to talk.  So there you have it.  I’m hoping the perfect ingredients for a blog.  There is lot of things I’d love to share and write about so I’ll start with some current things happening now.  I apologise if it begins rather boring.  stick with me and I am sure I will amuse and entertain you with lots of stories, anecdotes and rather random thoughts.

Thank you for reading.  Enjoy.
