   Emmah's Random Ramble

Time: 10.11 in the am Mood: Giggly Song: We Got It Going On (With Big & Rich) - Bon Jovi 1) Who the HELL are Big & Rich? 2) What sort of lyrics are these? Ahem *quotes from Lost Highway booklet from the CD* “We’ll be bangin’ and sangin’ just like the Rolling Stones, we’re gonna shake up your souls, we’ve come to rattle your bones, ‘cause we got it going on”. I swear “sangin’” isn’t even a freakin’ word! Hahaha. I’m cool now. As cool as a cucumber. Two cucumbers in fact. Hahaha. Thank you for your comments, though, I didn’t actually expect any since I was so annoyed XD And I have done what most of you suggested, and I’m typing this in Word first. Though, knowing my luck, it’ll probably still delete. I shall not be happy if it does! Also the good thing about typing up in Word first is that it gets rid of any spelling errors (dude, nearly every word in those Bon Jovi lyrics are underlined in red!). So, in yesterday’s real post that got deleted somehow, I had A LOAD of the gorilla adverts. I had the original advert, and then some versions people have done, like put music over it so he looks as though drumming to other songs. There was even a Bon Jovi one… But I can’t be arsed to find them all again. I know I had the original drumming gorilla, then the version where he’s drumming to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler, and then a Jovi one. But there were some others. I also need to show you that Pot Noodle advert that I love so much. With tickets to the X Factor. Actually, I think that was another video I had put in. Not the Pot Noodle one, but it was the Gorilla again, but it was auditioning for the X Factor, and it had Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Danni Minogue in it. It was sooo funny. I even put it up on my Bebo. Ahh I thought work last night was gonna be crap. In fact, it was quite funny. We had silver star rose in for a couple of hours because Steph had phoned in ill. They actually asked me to start earlier. I was like “er, no”. But I was with Tony as well as SSR, and he was in a bizarrely good mood. He kept winding me up, too. Oh, and they’d got Matt in. He was also winding me up. I swear those two just see who can wind me up the most. Heh, it made me laugh when SSR had to ask me permission to sell alcohol. As she’s still not 18 but I am XD I also sold fireworks for the first time ever 0_o I dropped them, too XD And it’s Halloween tonight!! I actually thought it was yesterday, until I realised “hang on, it’s the 30th today…” I’m gonna be working, tonight, though. So no dressing up for me. But but but, in the office out the back of the shop, we have sachets (do I mean that 0_o) to drape around us saying “Happy Halloween”, and some headband thing, that have antenna coming off them. They’re orange and have purple fluff at the end of the antenna, and they have little ghosts, spiders, pumpkins or bats on the end. They’re awesome! I shall be wearing some of those tonight *laughs*. We’re also not allowed to sell flour or eggs to kids. That includes teenagers. Tony said we have to “use our better judgement”. Adults - they’re fine, they can have the eggs and flour. But the kids just buy eggs and flour to throw at people, cars, houses… Trees. I am not joking. They’re all hooligans around here. So when we get a group of teenagers come in (I feel old saying that - I’m still a teenager too!! Not in 2 years though…) and all they want is eggs and flour I’m gonna say “I’m so not selling you that”. Then they’ll get all mouthy and I’ll be like “just bog off! You’re not having them!” It rocks being able to refuse people what they want. Also, people ask for the 4 park of Duracell batteries, so we give them the 6 pack. Why? Because they’re CHEAPER! Lmao!! Our pricing schemes suck, to be quite honest. Like, one Magnum ice cream cost something like £1.14, and the box of 3 cost £1.03. WHERE IS THE LOGIC IN THAT?! And the bottles of flavoured water… The really really small bottles cost something like 30pence. The big bottles (which are the same flavour and make and everything), they only cost 41pence. 11 pence dearer, but it makes sense to buy a big bottle than, say, 3 small bottles. I think the customers are beginning ton realise it, too. So they’re not as dumb as they look XD Ohhh that bloody Mrs Roberts came in last night. She’s really old (about 70-something) and she wears the most intriguing clothes. And a hat. But she also has Alzheimer’s. And I hope you guys know what Alzheimer’s is, because it’ll give me a headache explaining. Go and Wikipedia it if you don’t know. Anyway, I got stuck serving her AGAIN (someone else can bloody do it next time) and I scanned all the shopping she wanted, put it into bags for her (we have brill service at our shop - no other shop packs your bags for you!) and then she started looking for her money. I thought “ohhhh God” and then she was like “I can’t find my money, I’ll have to come back” I told her it was fine and she could leave the shopping with us as she hadn’t paid for it. So she handed the shopping back over and then asked if it was hers. OHMIGOD SHE IS SO ANNOYING. And she kept asking “is that mine or yours?” in the end Tony was like “it’s still ours because you haven’t paid for it yet” then she went “did I bring it in?” NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T BRING IT IN! YOU JUST WENT ROUND THE SHOP PICKING THINGS UP AND CAME TO PAY FOR IT AND YOU HAVE NO MONEY! In the end Tony was like “no, you wanted to buy this, but you don’t have any money. You didn’t bring anything in”. She eventually left and Tony went “she does my head in. I swear she’s getting worse”. Also, when she DOES have money, she’ll pay, and then be like “how much is it?” repeatedly. Then once you give her the change she’ll put it away and be like “have you given me my change?” You have to be soooo patient with her, but it wears us down, lmao. Her family don’t look after her, though. She should really have a carer, but her family have never organised one for her. It’s quite sad, actually. This one time, she only had about £6, and the shopping she wanted to buy was about £8, so the nice man being served next to her gave her some money. She was like “noooo you can’t! It’s your money!!!” and he said “no, it’s fine, I’d like someone to do the same with me one day when I get old” MY MANGA’S JUST LITERALLY COME THROUGH THE DOOR! Remember I said I couldn’t get Furuba 5 because of reprinting problems? Well, I thought “bugger it” and I’ve gone to the Waterstones website and ordered it from there ^^ And it’s just come through! Woohoo!! It takes less than a week. Buuuut something weird has happed. They’ve only charged me £6.99 (which is the price of it), but when I checked my bank account last night before I got to work, I should’ve had at least £10 left in there. I have 69pence!! So I’ve lost a tenner somewhere. And it isn’t delivery charges, because I clicked the free delivery. I’m so happy now!! I can read Furuba 1-6 now, and not get lost reading 6 XD As soon as I get paid on Friday I am: 1) Going to get those PG Tips (teabags) with the free monkey in. I love the monkey. I bought the PG Tips the last time they were giving away a free monkey, just because I wanted the monkey. You’re probably thinking “why does she want another monkey?” BECAUSE IT STICKS UP! IT HAS SUCTION PADS! I swear, I am going to collect every monkey they bring out XD 2) Order Furuba 7. It’s way cheaper online than in store. It’s over £1 cheaper online!! I hope I don’t lose money again. This post is like, 2 pages long LMAO. I shall leave now *salutes*. Love&stuff ♥ Emmah ♥ xxxxxxxxxxxxx P.S Comments are playing up agaion for me =( Sorry guys. And make sure you guys save me some sweets ^^
