I'm irked. Severely. It seems as though the people in charge of my current place of work, (Uppercrust) have taken a dislike to me, even though I'm quite probably one of the hardest workers there. The so-and-so's have denied me one of my holiday-days off this Saturday. Apparantly I didn't hand the form in soon enough, even though I told them on Saturday, on Monday, on Tuesday, and handed the form in on Wednesday. It's irritating mainly because I had already made plans for that Saturday that I am now going to have to cancel. I've half a mind to hand my notice in, but with University this year, I can't afford to not have a job in order to save up for it.
In good news however, I laughed so much at lunch today I almost had trouble breathing. To remind myself of why, the conversation is below.
"A lighthouse?"
"Yeah. I've got an ambition to buy one and live in one."
"Why?"
"Just because I want a stairlift and a fireman's pole."
"And a bucket?"
"Of course"
- "What's the bucket for?"
"It's a lighthouse, Tom."
-"Yes I know...so why the damned bucket?"
"Nevermind."
-"Tell me!"
"It's to catch the banana"
"Yeah."
-"So you have a bucket inside the lighthouse?"
"No, outside."
-"Why outside?"
"'Cause the peel is thrown from the first window. No wind you see."
-"What does that have to...wait...why the banana?"
"You don't wanna know."
-"My brain is sending very gutter-bound images at the moment."
"It's for energy, idjit."
-"That's worse"
"Think about it, every fruitbowl has a banana. Every lighthouse has a bucket."
"Of course it does. Think of the shape."
-"Do I have to?"
"Fine, don't then."
-"I'll be fine if you just tell me what it freaking means!"
"It doesn't mean anything...that's the point."
...it was funner at the time.
