Thanks for That
Jul. 13th, 2006 08:48 pmSo I found out today that I technically don't have a job. I'm just an extra. I'm getting paid--got paid for training, getting paid for work days, so that's good. But technically, I'm not an employee of Nordstrom. I'm just an extra hired for Hell Weekend, the sale that begins tomorrow. After it ends Sunday, I'm gone. So I get paid for six days, and that's it. Definately not enough to go to the con with Julie. I'll have to figure something out. And I'm not gonna have any time this weekend to look for another job--plus I've already applied everywhere else--so I'm kind of screwed. Thanks, Nordstrom. Thanks for completely fucking me over and not even telling me until today. I love how the training person was going on and on about all this bullshit I'm not going to be able to use, and also "oh yeah, we hire within our company blah blah blah" well fuck you, don't tell me that if I'm only working three fucking days.
Graaa...
Plus work just generally sucked today. Went in for an hour and got a tour from the assistant manager, who was very nice and all. Then went into the stock room and re-priced some pants then hung a shitload of shirts. All the while my cramps were getting worse. Driving home was hell. HELL.
Music and Kingdom Hearts II are my solace. Aimee Mann just roxors. And KH2, with the exception of the Atlantica world, is so gosh darn awesome. I've beaten two Organization members. Xaldin is scary. Very...stabbity. I've met a bunch of the others, but haven't fought anyone. Haven't seen Axel in a while, either.
Did I mention there's a Tron world? There's a Tron world. Yes. A Tron world. Which is amazing. Simply amazing. Not the world, I mean, just the fact of its existence. I didn't know Tron was a Disney movie. Is it a Disney movie? I think it was supposed to be more a nod to old video games. Don't forget your roots and all that.
Went to Pirates again last night, sort of to celebrate Liz's leaving for Minnesota for two weeks. It was just as awesome. Noticed a foreshadowing in the movie, too, which I'll put ( here ) since it contains spoilers. Noticed something else, too. You know in the preview for The Guardian--the Coast Guard movie? The older guy with white hair and blue eyes who's sitting behind the desk reassigning the main character (name?)--dunno the actor's name, but he's the guy who was in the Hatch before Desmond, the guy who got Sayid to torture people. I made a squeedie sound when I saw him. Did anyone else notice that?
I really can't help laughing when the Transformers preview comes up. It looks so intense and then it's like: "...TRANSFORMERS!!" It's so amazing. I've never seen the show so maybe it really is that intense. *snort*
I don't like Will Ferrell much but I really want to see Talladega Nights...Talla...whatever it is. The racing movie. It looks really funny.
I also laughed at the Story of the Nativity preview. I mean...I can't help it. It's funny. How many movies are out there about that? Just hang out for Easter, people. Ba-ha-ha-ha...
XOMG, remake of the Wicker Man, AUGH! I loved the original. Such a crazy ending. Hopefully they'll do it justice this time around. Although you really can't beat Christopher Lee as the Lord of the pagans. I guess Nicholas Cage is in it, I think as the inspector. Oh man, that'll still be brilliant.
Gotta buy that movie.
