I'm Boggled

[toosuto]

Two things, the first irritating:

So I've been all excited because I get to leave the Calendar here at the Inlander behind and move on to slightly less boring production and art duties along with some exciting art duties (eventually). The new girl was supposed to start today, show up at 10 am and hash out some schedule conflicts that would supposedly start with the new semester at EWU (class from 10 am-1 pm). Of course this is what actually happened: Her mother showed up at 10 am to inform Michael (the A&C Editor) that Laura has class from 10 am-1 pm and would be unable to make it today nor in fact take the job at all — it gets better though — she then proceeded to give Michael her resume and cover letter and ask if we would hire her instead. Needless to say the answer was no. The answer would have been no if she had shown up on her own and not been trying a bait and switch ploy with her daughter. WTF?

Thing two brought a small amount of joy back into this depressing soul crushing defeat ridden day. Or y'know: whatever. It's this

There will be no jokes made at the expense of Tank Girl! None! Tank Girl rules!

I was her for Halloween two different years.

The movie, while posessing a certain charm, was a horrible horrible desecration of the original. I mean saving the world from a water baron? Whatever happened to beer and screwing kangaroos in the outback? The cast was perfect, the look was great, I would even say the direction was pretty on but the script was a disaster!

I didn't say it was a quality movie. I said it rules.

Okay, it's a "cult classic" for a reason. Agreed.

Also, the bait and switch work situation? Classy. Sorry it makes your situation suck, hope you find a real employee very, very soon!

Funny thing 'bout cult classics. Ah Jet Girl where are you when I need you!?

Enh. We already started calling people further down on the list who submitted. I was just all excited to be done y'know.

Awww. They takin' resumes again?

[toosuto.livejournal.com]

Actually it looks like they are going back to the initial candidates, at 4:30 pm or so they had two interviews lined up already. And I really wouldn't wish this job on anyone I know, there won't be any qyuick escape from it. But if you want me to I will let you know if they ask for more resumes...

Frances McDormand’s hair in 'Flux' should be more than enough to maintain that small amount of joy for a while...or...something.

All the best getting away from the Calendar monster.

So Rhonda pointed out that Aeon Flux is the "mommy and me" movie next week. She wondered if I was excited about it. She might go, just because Zanon tends to like gymnastics. If she's going, I might have to. And yet. . . my general rule of thumb is that if there is no dialogue in the trailer, the movie will suck (obviously, there are exceptions which prove the rule). No dialogue in that trailer. . . .

I'm waiting to rent it. Of course that's because I still haven't seen Walk the Lin or HPatGoF and The Chronicles of Narnia opens next Friday.
