Mr. Lyon [ROFLMAO]

Mr. Lyon, you are one elusive person...=P Or animal. XD
This is one of the reasons I LOVE going to work.

Suzy is a Tanzanian who works with me during weekdays when I DO go to work. She's such a sweetie, and she's our resident TLC African. =)

So at our work place, we have two counters. One is the cigarette/post office counter, and one is the general/lottery counter, where I work! Suzy works with me, and so does Denise, usually they stay with me because on the other counter, Dion and Muna seem to be doing pretty well by themselves. =)

Anyway, we all know that Suzy is Tanzanian and that it's in Africa. Common knowledge. =)
So then Muna handed her a piece of paper with a number on it that said 'Mr. Lyon' and told Suzy that it was urgent and that she needed to call him because he was looking for her.
Suzy then insisted that she didn't know anyone by the name of 'Mr. Lyon', but Muna still insisted that she call him.

So Suzy did.

The result, was hilarious.

Suzy called the number, and it rang and rang and rang, and she looked across at the post office, and Muna and Dion were falling over themselves laughing. (Dion was practically rolling on the floor) and then Suzy started suspecting something funny going on. But not before the voice operator on the other end went:
"Thank you for calling Perth Zoo, if you'd like to make a donation, press 1..."
Upon which Suzy hung up and glared at the other side saying : The lYoness is coming for you now!

Denise and I promptly fell over laughing at her and Dion disappeared on the floor for 10 minutes. Muna was shaking so hard, I was amazed that she could still serve the customer, who was looking at her in utter amazement.
I don't think I've ever had such a good laugh at work before. =) I love my weekday colleagues.
Then this candy guy came around (and this guy sells candy in bulk to stores,) and Denise took a look at the stuff, and decided to order 'Jungle Jellies'. We had another good crack at that one, LOL.

After I left work today, I went to Coles to buy some groceries, and then I came across some 'Lion Snacks'.
I swear, my day has been Lion filled indeed, I can hardly stop laughing everytime I see any references to the word 'Lion' now.

Mr. Lyon

Suzy! (obviously with Muna in her mouth due after that phone call...XD)

More soon, all my lovely peoples. =)

Fairies

Fairies are such pretty creatures...
And that's exactly what I dressed up as on the 29th of December 2007! XD
The A$30 million Megadraw was on that night and my job at the newsagency [The Lucky Charm Newagency] is to sell lottery tickets! Of course, 30 million is a big thing. That's 7 zeros! Loads of cash. Invest it properly, and it could turn you into a billionare in 10 years.
So my colleagues and I decided that we would dress up as fairies and try to grant everyone's wish of winning lotto (mind you, not that we can give out that much luck) as well as attract other non-lotto playing citizens in the mall to laugh at us and hopefully buy something after our efforts of dressing up.

I can assure you we were most readily laughed at.

I walked in at 8.30am with my wings pinned on to my shirt (because it was too small for me to actually wear) and literally RAN in from the entrance all the way to my shop. But not before the supermarket cashiers, keymaker and asian bakery saw me and thought I was mad. O.O
One of my friends may have been slightly crazier than I was. She went all the way, bought a tiny fairy dress intended for 8 year olds at Red Dot (this store that sells the most random things ever) and cut it up so it would fit her (she's an entire head taller than I am), put a shirt on top of it, added glitter to her face, star stickers to her arms and a butterly clasp to her hair and voila! Thus completing her airy fairy look. The rest of us merely donned a pair of jeans and pink/white shirt and a pair of wings, but she was pretty much the star of the whole show. =)

Of course, I posted this up on my status thing on Facebook (if you guys still don't know that I have Facebook then you're in serious trouble, I didn't put that thingy there for nothing) and Tash remembered that our friend Robin dressed as a pirate for his job and combined the two! Thus creating a Fairy Pirate! Ray seconded the idea and we now have cemented the whole 'Fairy Pirate' idea. I can't stop laughing, but if I can stop for a second and convince Robin to actually do it with me, it would be perfect! For the next party that is. =) Best done with a billion other people dressing as something ridiculous. XD

Anyone up for a house party?

Peace, for the Moment [Or, The Calm Before the Storm]

Today was as hectic as can be expected, I suppose.
I set my alarm today for 8.30am, as I had to go to work at 10am later (or not so much later) that day.
At 7.30am, a horrbily ungodly hour in my book, my boss SMSed me and asked me to get in at 9.30am instead. Woe is me, I thought, and I stupidly agreed to such a request at such ridiculously short notice.
I got up, instead at 8.15am and managed to grab some cereal and just had enough time to make my lunch, grab my water and hop into the car.
I did not, however, manage to grab some coffee. Which is bad. Because my working hours for today had become 9.30am-5pm.Which meant that I would have no coffee for 7.5 hours. To anyone who knows me well, they know that this can also equate to extreme crankiness and extreme sleepiness.
And trust me, I was so sleepy, I was not entirely sure if I myself knew what I was actually doing. The day was a daze, up until about 11am, when things started getting horribly busy.
Today was a fairly busy day, it being the weekend before Christmas. One can understand why it was so busy, although most of us would wonder what Christmas Day has to do with the lottery since most Christians I know tend to save the money that would otherwise go into the lottery for the offering at church. Trust me, I think God would look down on you more kindly if you spent the little bits of change on the poor rather than on the lottery and hope to gain millions.
My colleagues can be the sweetest people ever. I got cards from most of them as well as little chocolates bars and candy canes, and then my boss was actually really really cool.
I got a music coupon from him as a present. =) Which, I suppose, in a way was like my Christmas bonus, even though I've only been working there for like 2 months, kekekekekeke.
Now I just have to spend it wisely, cuz I don't wanna get some weird ass music that's not worth spending on, when my cousins could get the same music for free. (go figure, they have Limewire and *gasp* I don't!)

Fow the first time in like 4 months, I actually haven't gone over to my cousin's house for dinner. Scary right? Nah, not really, it was quite nice actually, considering how tired I am from work and whatnot.

Anyhow, that is how my day has gone.
Peace out, another day in the life of a TCK.
Which, coincidentally, is turning out to be quite boring, considering how much I've travelled. XD
