My Day At Work

*is amused* So this is total hypocrisy, after suggesting to miriamus that most people should never blog about their work unless they're REALLY FUNNY, or concise, but... okay, so my day at work was pretty wierd.

Firstly, it was a Thursday. And Thursday=pay day!!111! (Another reason to sanctify Thursday, o ye Shoeboxers on my list.) So of course the morning should be good- except it's pouring down and I've had four hours sleep, due to a chance encounter with The Ruins of Ambrai late last night. ( major to slight Ambrai spoilers under the cut. )

Anyway, so after finally popping off at two in the morning >.< I wake to thunder and rain, OMG SO MUCH RAIN. But I get into work on time and settle down, and things are basically normal- except, after my supervisor spent a bored twenty minutes reading my CV and coming out to ask me "So, you know Latin, then?"
"Um, only a little."
"No, you know a lot!"
"Well, only up till sixth form."
"Say something in Latin"
*should have said "Ave, Caesar... etc" but instead* "Well you don't actually learn to speak it..." Cue brief history of Latin and its importance and that no, no-one still speaks it today (I have enormous respect for Carla as a supervisor, but she don't know shit about languages...) and basic language geekery about kings speaking Latin.

Anyway, apart from their venture with me into the land of Geek (my one true home) things were normal until two in the afternoon, when... the electronic tills start blinking. And then they break, totally. They're computer run, and the damn things FROZE. ASAGHDAHJ. This is why TECHONOLOGY SUCKS and we should use books for everything. Like MANUALS. Manuals would be such a brilliant creation. Man. Anyway, they BREAK and we spend the rest pf the afternoon doing nothing until half an hour before i'm due to get off Carla decides we have to do MANUAL SALES. OMG. THIS IS A HUGE IRREDEEMABLE HEADACHE and if I walk in there tomorrow and have to write down barcodes, descriptions, price and cash given and THEN WORK OUT CHANGE (this is fine for one or two items per purchase, but for ten it SUCKS) I will go STARKERS.

Anyway, it was fairly funny (except for this one total cow, but hey, it's retail.) I suspect I have failed to transmit this humour but oh well, I'm laughing remembering it. XD

Lyrics meme, again.

Done this one before, but it's fun, so woo.

1. Shuffle your playlist.
2. Of the first 25 songs that come up, no matter how embarassing, put your favourite lyric on your LJ. Try not to include the title.
3. Open season to your f-list to see who can guess the most songs.
4. Strike the songs off as they are guessed correctly. No cheating like duh.

This one's gonna be more interesting I think- I have more songs and more friends. *amused*

( cower at my musical taste )

And Desiree and Dave, I"M SORRY to both of you. It was my mother. *forkstabs* Stupid bloody Telemann...

ETA: Um, people keep saying 10 is "familiar" and now I'm half amused, half guilty- so I left out a word between "knees" and "I'm begging," and that word is the title of the song. Okay? XD

Whee.
