another reason i love aki

I woke up later than I'd hoped to, so now I'll have to go shopping on my dinner break, which will undoubtedly be at 2:30 again. >.> I had a really weird and sort of disturbing dream that combined my mom's nagging, the clay from this Korean program on a potter I was watching yesterday, Fanime and Playzone 2009. It was like we had Juniors (and random Jrockers) at Fanime, and were trying to pull a production of Playzone together. And my mom was the director. >.>

So that was fun. But then I woke up, and tekaki had scanned Aki's part of Rock and Read 28. The whole shoot is lovely... I'm not sure what to make of the shorts he's wearing, but that didn't matter when the two pictures below appeared:

Customers and bosses came in and foiled my Nobuta bracelet making. XD I have forty-five minutes left, though, so I can re-do it... Also found out from seeing next week's schedule that I'm done after this Friday! I wish I wasn't, 'cause I could use the money, and it's not a bad job, all things considered. My co-workers are fun,

*break for three Japanese ladies*

My co-workers are fun, it's not incredibly hard work, though it can be tedious (had a woman in today who had me pull out ten glass beads and then spent forever narrowing it down to three), but I get to talk to all sorts - and the price/reputation of these act as a kind of people-filter. I also get to be amused and/or headdesk at the questions we get.

I know I shouldn't laugh at people who don't know anything about Pandora, but there's a difference between not knowing anything and being curious about it, and not knowing anything but making assumptions, I guess. Today's prize goes to the (American, because currency does matter) woman who came in with three young girls and asked me how much a complete bracelet cost, "like $200?"

"...for a full silver one?" I asked, to clarify. She nodded. "About $600 to $1,000," I said, and they left very quickly after that. I wanted to point out that she's paying for sterling silver and possibly 14k gold, but I didn't. And, the average for a full bracelet is really more like $700-something, if you have mostly silver with a bit of glass, gold or CZ in there.
