I love Juno
I don’t care if I’m just like everyone else. There’s a reason why the movie is so beloved. Diablo Cody and Ellen Paige are amazing. So are all the other actors. It’s very rare to see a “teen movie” (ugh) that shows real relationships between teenagers: the ones that are not catty and bitchy, but supportive and sweet. The friendship between Juno and Leah was wonderful. I also really loved how great Juno’s parents were.
Sigh. love it.
The Kite Runner
The book was almost sacred for me. It was beautiful, heartbreaking and moved me to tears. It’s very hard for me to watch movies based on books that I loved as much as this one. You wonder if the film version will ruin what the book has come to mean to you. Not in this case. The film was a perfect rendering of the book. They could not have picked more talented actors. They brought those characters to life. Wonderful.
ESCAPING THE BEAST!
You heard it right, folks! I’m FINALLY getting outta retail! After seven looooooooong years, almost four of them spent toiling away for the worst boss I’ve ever had: the condescending, passive aggressive, domineering, fake and tyrannical Miriam.
Better than that, I got a WRITING job. Whooooo! It pays quite a bit more and the company is great.
I have compiled a list of the reasons why I’m SO elated to be leaving retail behind:
10. I don’t give a shit if you steal. Go ahead. I am not responsible for theft anymore and trying to keep an eye on your shifty ass.
9. I can actually ENJOY the holidays. Ya know, like Christmas? I don’t have to worry about…daaah-dah-dah-dahhhh…..BLACK FRIDAY!
8. I will not see a single spoiled brat child all day at my new job. Not one.
7. I will not have to have people throw money at me over the counter, leave their coffee cups all over my department, snap at me to get my attention, bring their fucking dogs into the store, yell “IS THERE ANYONE WORKING IN HERE?!!?” when I’m standing two feet from them, and on and on and on…
6. I do not have to answer the phone and deal with the general public.
5. I don’t have to stay in the store until all hours of the night because a certain bitch manager has to have a PERFECT recovery. BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!
4. No Miriam.
3. No Miriam.
2. No Miriam.
1. N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o MIRIAM! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Maybe my next boss will know how to treat people. Here’s hoping.
