The rat race

[labellementeuse]

Something sad happened today; I left my place of work formally (although actually I'm working a couple of hours on Monday. but I was supposed to finish today so.) I don't talk about work much here, but I work at a convenience store in town and I actually adore my coworkers, which is kind of embarassing, especially because one of them's tanizard. She's even, like, my superior, technically. ;) Anyway, we haven't actually been working together since the last week but I also have an awesome manager Carla and coworkers Isabelle and Magic Brendon. They rock my socks.

Anyway, working with tanizard has been... an experience. We did a lot of crosswords. And we said a lot of funny (to us, anyway) shite. And now, I post, because otherwise I'll forget.

Me: Uh. me.
T: tanizard. Uh. No words.
C: Carla, manager extraordinaire
I: Isabelle, cutest little azn student evers
MB: Magic Brendon, recipient of the *_* face!

The Magic Brendon Story

Me: *serving*
T: *wanders in* HEY. I'm skipping hours at my other place of work to come see you!
T: HERE HAVE SOME PUZZLES
Me: *agonises for like a day*
Days: pass
T: HAVE YOU DONE THE PUZZLES YET
Me: No. I LOSE.
T: YES. HERE HAVE SOME HINTS.
MB: *wanders in* Puzzles?
MB: *IS MAGIC AND SOLVES ALL IN LIKE TEN SECONDS*
T: But! But! But!
Me:... wow.
Days: *pass*
T&Me: *do crossword at counter because hey, no-one expects starmart employees to work, right?*
T&Me: *are stuck*
MB: *wanders in* Crossword?
MB: *SOLVES. AGAIN*
T&Me: he's like. magic. Magic Brendon!
T: Every time I see him I want to do the *_* face! But it's not the internets! So no!
Me: it's completely the magic brendon AWE face.

Wow, I told that really badly. BUT ANYWAY.

I: *snaps photo of T and C*
Me: It's Carla and Tania in action!
T: Right, in action standing around at the counter!
C: Don't be dirty!
T&M&I: o.O CARLA! OH MY GOD
T: *falls over laughing* (like actually falling over. Onto the ground.)
T: IF THERE IS ONE THING I DON'T NEED, IT IS MY BOSS SLASHING ME. WITH HERSELF.
Me: *DEAD*

MB&T&M: *serve, do crosswords, bitch cheerfully about failure to do crossword*
Customer: Hi!
T: Hi! that'll be eight million dollars and five cents and by the way, do you know a synonym of lewd ending in "ous"?
Customer: *clearly not the brightest out of the box* Uhm, like, cunning?
T: It doesn't fit, and besides cunning doesn't end it... ous... cunning... ous....
T: *FALLS OVER AGAIN OH GOD*
MB: *eyebrows*
Customer Guy: *bright red*
M: *WHEEZE*
MB&C: *edge away slowly*

(NB: word turned out to be lascivious. I really wanted it to be salacious, since we thought it began with S. But it didn't fit. :P)

T&Me: *finish a crossword*
T&Me: *BOUNCE UP AND DOWN BEHIND COUNTER*
T&ME: *DO A LITTLE DANCE*
Customers: *back away slowly*

Me: *throws things at T*
T: *makes a paper plane out of entry forms*
T: *throws*
Plane: *LODGES IN MY HAIR. LIKE IN MY FRINGE.*
T: buh... buh.... AHAHAHAHAHAHAA. AHAHAH. OH MY GOD.
T: *FALLS OVER. AGAIN.*
T: IF YOU STAYED, MY ASS WOULD BE BRUISED. FROM FALLING ON IT SO MUCH.


THERE WERE MANY MORE, but I'm a-getting confused and anyway they were funnier in real life. BUT POSTERITY. And I'm sad to leave. :(
