Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Just saw 21 tonight. :] I'm quite pleased. And I love that intro song. Everytime I clean theatres or walk past a 21 theatre, I hear it and sing along. It's just great.

I loved Darjeeling Limited.

Passed out during Casshern. First time ever seen a Japanese Sci-Fi. It was fucken weird.

I watched Shutter and to be honest, it wasn't all that bad. But if you want to be scared, it isn't the movie to watch. It was more of a suspense type movie cause I didn't budge at all. And yeah, I watched it alone.

The Other Boelyn Girl was pretty good. It was a very different role for Natalie Portman and I think she portrayed the biggest bitch great. I think the crying was a bit excessive but she was good. Jim Sturgess was in there as well. Mmmm mmm hot.

I hate English class with a passion. My teacher is going to drop me a letter grade if I'm late once again.

My computer is taking the hugest pile of shit on me but my co-worker, Amanda, let me borrow her Norton and it looks like shits getting way better.

I have some manager/supervisor 8:30am meeting today so I'm hoping it's a breakfast :]

I got half of my raise so far so I don't know whats up with that.

I worked at Hollister at 6am all week and now I'm kind of stuck waking up that early.

I went to San Diego with Ron, Niki, Alexa and Mike for 2 days over spring break. It was fun and I passed out a lot. Note to self: If I ever need to recall back to those two days, refer to Niki's blog.

One of my co-workers, Noel, wanted to gather some of us to go bowling. I mentioned that I was in Cali and I guess no one wanted to go without me. Haha cute. So on Friday night we went. It was pretty fun.

I yelled at Mr. Anderson over the phone cause I was pissed about him scheduling me for a 9pm-12:30am shift on that upcoming Thursday night since I had an 8:30am class the next day with an essay due.

Today I stayed an hour overtime to help stock up cause we got busy out of nowhere. So now I get to choose my schedule next week. Except it's been pretty much what I wanted for the past few months. Oh well. Maybe I can choose where to work. That'd be great.

Oh yeah, I trained 3 people on Friday on floor staff and 1 other dude in box office on Saturday. I actually really like these new people. I'm so glad they're willing to work.

It really looks like Amanda will be the next supervisor. Good for her. So maybe the next time they decide to do promotions, I'll be an assistant manager. Except I think when I get promoted, I won't be able to hang out with my co-workers outside of work. Cause apparently that's considered as fratenizing..... Which also brings up how I tried to recommend my sister's boyfriend to be a manager. Got shot down cause I know him too well. Bullshit I say. He has every quality to be a manager because of past experience and he'd blow those two new managers out of the water. Blah. I feel bad cause he and my sister are in a really tough rut right now. So maybe I'll just have him apply and act like I've never met him before.

I got a new cell phone finally if I didn't mention that in older entries. I pay for the phone bill now for my Mom and I. It's really nice to finally be able to help out with something. Insurance doesn't count since it's for me but I wanted to help out in some department. Though my Mom isn't really feeling the whole two job thing cause I'm always tired.

Oh and I officially dropped Japanese class. What a waste of money. Meh.

I don't know what else to update on since I have to be up in about 5 hours. Soooo yep.

The Fad

el oh el.




Updates:

I've officially been promoted to the supervisor position at Rave. Go me.

There has been this big event for movie directors, producers, companies and theatres called Showest. Some events were held at our theatre. Thus, I've met some Dreamworks executives today. I gave them all free food/drinks. Fun talking to them.

In addition to that, I met Katzenberg. He's the CEO of Dreamworks. I didn't know who the hell he was by the name but when I saw him, I went ohhh. Kind of cool. Then a bunch of these Asian tourists came in. I think they took a picture of me at the concession. It was awkward. One of them even laid out the packets from the condiment station and took a picture of it. Why they want a picture of mayo, mustard and ketchup is beyond me.

On top of this, we've had corporate at the theatre all week. It's been hectic and bullshit because they're anal about everything and all the managers are stressing us out. Everything has been in tip top shape and ridiculously clean. I wonder if we'll keep that up from now on. Kind of nice to not walk on popcorn in the concessions.

Dropping Japanese. Picking up more hours for work hopefully. Mainly if I can even wake up for a 7am shift.

Been hanging out with Andrew a lot. Not exactly sure why. Now everyone thinks we're dating but we're not. Sorry I have a friend who I can watch movies with now whenever I want. But then we end up talking outside for hours and I don't even know about what. Mostly work related, but whatever, that's how our friendship goes.

Did I mentioned I just wasted like 180 texts today between him. Maybe 20 of which to other people. I plan on getting unlimited text finally. Tired of going over 1 text cause someone decides to send me one at the last minute before the restart of the month.

I guess I'm going to Gogol Bordello with Noel. I really don't want to but I feel bad about him not finding anyone else to go with. Meh. I hope it won't be awkward.

I hate English right now. It's a major waste of my time.

I'm only working 3 days this week surprisingly. I only requested 2 days off for that Cali trip but I guess. Kind of nice to have Friday off. That Horton Hears A Who will kick the theatres ass and I don't want to be there working. Though I don't think Friday will be as bad as the other days. At least corporate won't be there.

10,000 B.C. was alright. So was The Bank Job. But I think I liked Bank Job better.

My car got towed from my own home cause I parked in the red. Though I've been parking there for the past 3 months. It was a fun morning. 183.75 for the bail. I hate my management. I bitched them out to the fullest. I wish they would fucken help me pay for it or give me money that I could've gotten from working. Faggots.

Lots of concerts coming up. Must go.

Gotta get a smog test and oil change. Maybe Friday or Tuesday will be my days to seriously get errands done.

Oh yeah Yan's in town. She found me working at Hollister.

I wonder if Wayne's in town? Probably not cause of money but I wonder if he'd tell me he was here.
