   SQUEE

I forgot to mention, at the anime/manga convention, we had POCKY! I tried both flavours (there was strawberry and chocolate). I actually liked both. Then the mad TokyoPop man told us that pocky isn't actually Japanese... So there we go =) Oh, and at one point, we all got so excited over one of the new manga releases, that we were squealing, and the TokyoPop man said, "Christ, you're sounding a bit Charlie the Unicorn-like at the moment." We laughed. And his girlfriend (also from TokyoPop) said "Charlie the Unicorn? What?!", so then everyone in the room (except TokyoPop man and his girlfriend) started going "Charlie! Charlie! Charlie! We're on a bridge, Charlie!". Then everyone laughed, and TokyoPop man said "look, even all these guys know who Charlie the Unicorn is!". Note: It wasn't actually Charlie who said that, though, was it? It was the two other unicorns. Oh well. ---*--- So... My fabbity fab day today... I opened my inbox, and discovered lots of reviews on my Georgia Nicolson fanfiction (which I've now finished). My Mother phoned me twice this morning. She and Dad found me a potential car. We're going to see it later. SQUEE. This is where it gets better... Bossman Tony phoned from work... Here is our conversation: *Sophie answers phone*: Emma, it's the bloke about the car! Me: Huh? Tony: I crashed the car. Me: Oh, very funny. Tony: No, I'm not talking to you about that car at all. Me: Obviously. What do you want then? Tony: Well, you know you can do till lifts...? Me: Yeah... Tony: And you know you can do Job 14...? Me: Yeah... Tony: And you know you can do lots of other things...? Me: Yeah... (Secretly thinking "oh God, where is this going?") Tony: Well, how would you feel if I put you forward to be Team Leader? Me: ... Are you being serious?! Tony: Oh, I'm being deadly serious. Me: Like, serious, serious? Tony: Yep. Serious, serious. Me: Seriously, seriously, serious? Tony: Yes, seriously, seriously, seriously, seriously, serious! Me: ... Tony: ... Me: ... Wow. Tony: So, do you want to or not? Me: Yeah!! Tony: Would you be OK with opening and closing the shop and everything? Me: ... I guess so. Our conversation went on a bit longer, but it was just about how I was handle two of the members of staff who all the other managers have a problem with. But, Bossman's going to talk to me about it all tomorrow =3 I'm so excited! So yes, I am Team Leader Emma, now!! Wooooo!! Can you guys remember MONTHS ago that I said the other managers had said I'd make a good TL?? Crazy, huh? I am actually excited. What's funny is, that they'd already started thinking of people to take up my shifts that I have now XD Planning ahead or what?! They're apparently going to get Frankie to take up my week shifts (my Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights - though, Frankie already does Tuesday night... Hmmm...). (I hope you all know what I mean by Team Leader... It's like a MANAGER for those of you who don't get what I'm on about XD But paid less, and without the big title of manager XD) Moving on from my excitement, Andrea said something HILARIOUS the other night. Seriously, we were all in stitches. She went to answer the bell (there was a queue), and just as she typed in the code for the door to get behind the tills, her hand slipped and she failed. So, without thinking, she said "ooh dear, someone's oiled my knobs!". TRES AMUSANT! Anyway, I have to go and be mad, now. Toodles!
