My Fakir icon is teh sexy :3

Well, I hope everyone is pleased with various things and whatnot *smiles while others attempt to puzzle out cryptic message*

New layout--very pretty :3 For some reason, I tend to gravitate towards blues and greens and yellows in my decor *shrug* I was actually looking for the one [livejournal.com profile] magic_truth just switched hers over to because I thought it was lovely, but I couldn't find it *sadface*

I worked today. Even though it was supposed to be my day off. See, the Management in their infinite wisdom decided to schedule Buffet Night for my department and the Kitchen. And then I'm sure they sat around, stroking their metaphorical beards and thinking to themselves, "You know, I don't think it's at all important that we actually tell Chinese/Italian or the Kitchen that they're doing the Grand Buffet on Thursday. It'll be a surprise! Like Christmas and their birthdays all rolled into one!"

...yeah. We honestly wouldn't have known about it if one of the ladies who worked in the kitchen hadn't seen the ad in the paper and raised the department alert. So I got to come in and help with the rampaging masses.

Except, ya know, they were more rampaging for (and in some cases, complaining about) the $3.99 large pepperoni pizzas. We couldn't keep those things on the rack! But then we had people who swore up and down that it wasn't the same size as shown in the ad...yeah. Lots of fun.

Another (almost amusing) side-effect of this being sprung on us liek whoa was that we didn't have a chance to find out if the discounts were being added in automatically, or if we were supposed to change the labels. So we changed the labels...only to have the really complainy lady come back and, after complaining, was nice enough to point out that it was taking the dollar off up at the front. So instead of ringing it up at the priced $3.99, they were going for $2.99. We went through probably twenty pizzas like that before the error was noticed.

What makes this amusing, you might ask? Apparently, NO ONE knew about the Midnight Madness, and so EVERYONE was scrambling to get things ready. So the bakery next door did the same thing we did and printed off labels with the sale prices on them, not knowing that the discounts had been programmed into the cash registers. I would like to shake the hand of whoever was honest enough to point out that their bakery goods rang up at twenty cents. Poor bakery people.

On the very bright side, I didn't have to stay and help with closing. I got to leave at eight, an hour before close. That was pretty glorious, let me tell ya.

...does anyone have any Princess Tutu fic recs? I'm hankerin' for a good read ^.~

I feel like there was something else I was going to bitch post about, but I can't remember what it is. Huh. Oh well. Still need to figure out when I can kidnap [livejournal.com profile] kaitodoushi and watch the last two volumes of Tutu with her so I can see her reactions to all the glory. Why yes, I am obsessed! How did you know?

Yikes. What a madhouse at work. @___@; A very good thing to not have to be around for the closing!

Oooh, the new layout is purty! X3

I recommend joining [livejournal.com profile] princesstutu and [livejournal.com profile] tutufic, though most fics get crossposted to both. XD And there's always lots of purty fanart and awesome discussions at [livejournal.com profile] princesstutu.

As for your music, are you watching the awesome PT AMV with that Swedish (or whatever language it is!) song?

It was crazy...but it's over now, and hopefully they won't do another thing like that for a while!

Thanks!

Oooooh, yays! *goes to join communities* I think I'm officially Tutu obsessed ^^;;

Actually, I did see that AMV--which was how I first heard the song. And then I went and found the song so I could put it on a CD and actually listen to it :3 I'm completely addicted to that song :D
