In which I am thwarted ...

... So, I fretted all weekend about the whole gummi bear / earlobe thing and decided the only way to be sure was to - buy some gummy bears. I'd get my comrades (fellow Government drones) to help with the testing.
And so, at lunchtime, I wandered down to the lolly shop and said to the woman behind the counter (loud & proud) "500g of Gummy Bears please". She handed me the bag, I paid the money and went back to work. I ate my lunch (mmmm, lentil cottage pie), I ate my piece of fruit (2 actually, blood plums), I got a bowl from the kitchen, ripped open the paper bag and poured into the bowl FUCKING JELLY BEANS! Yuck!
Comrades still ate them though (& I get brownie points for being the provider of the afternoon sugar hit). Looks like another walk to the lolly shop tomorrow, bugger (better wear flats).

LOVE Gummy Bears
HATE Jelly Beans

HATE nuffies that can't tell the differnce even though they are in the profession of selling confectionary to others. HATE self for not paying attention when bag was being filled ( like, duh, do you have to watch every fool's move ?!)

So...
Sympathies.

Curious on the earlobe thing ;)

Ta. I was almost ready to march back to the shop & demand my gummies but, wore heels today - pfft. Yet another thing to watch for I guess, honestly, does nobody take pride in their work anymore?
Will report back on the earlobe/bear comparison.

oooo! i bet i know which lolly shop it was - was it the one up the road from workies? if so, i used to pop in there and buy lolls but they made me fetch them myself instead of filling up my baggie.
the WORST thing was when they ran out of allens red frogs, they bought most CRAPPEST HORRIDEST IMPERSONATION red frogs ive ever tried to eat.
vulgar pewky little things they were.
i so relate on the weirdness of finding J Beenz when one is expecting G Bearz.
LOL
