I'm Boggled

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

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.
