So I was highlighting the shows for the side I’m starting the movies for, and as I was finish the pen i carry in my pocket was on the table so I grabbed it with the highlighter and was about the throw it in to the box with all the other highlighters but realized it’s a pen i brought from home so I didn’t put it there. As I was doing this I thought maybe the pen I lost yesterday is in the highlighter box, and sure enough my pen was there. I guess I did the same thing yesterday. Nothing special about the pen. I was just wondering where I lost the pen. It’s funny how the brain works. I carry a pen because I like to write things like this journal entries when I have some time (between shows).

Another nice thing happened yesterdays. I was doing theaters check (after starting the movies I need to get in to every theater makes sure the lights are off, the sound is ok and all that. Of course I do it from up stairs but I’m supposed to check from inside the theaters as well) and as I was checking one theater where the movie was about to end, to teenagers wanted to come in, so I asked for their tickets. I usually don’t ask. I see many people that I believe are sneaking in. But they could be friends of some employee which makes it ok. Many times it is some old person that I just don’t bother, kinda feel sorry for them. A part of me do want to actaually go and ask for their tickets, you know, just to use my power. But I pitty them and just ingore. Also not getting my raise yet makes me very careless. Anyways those 2 kids actually had tickets for that movie, it was just for a later show and a theater next door. But what was nice is that one of the assiatant managers saw me asking for the kids ticket so she would probably pass on that I’m doing my job…

It’s funny and weird how one simple call changes my mood. It was nothing big, but still, it was nice.
On Wednesday I forgot my cell on vibrate and on the next morning didn’t hear when I was called about 2 deliveries I could have had. As my 2nd part time job, I work at Boston Market as a delivery driver, and the way it works is that the delivery manager calls us, the drivers, around 9:00am to ask if we are available and give us the location and time of the delivery. Now since I didn’t answer, my manager went to next driver on the list. Anyways, so I was a little pissed during the day that I forgot it on vibrate. I also had lot of free time and got bored. I hate getting bored.

Then I went to my other job (as a projectionist in the cinemas) and found out that I didn’t get my $1.5 raise yet. So now I was pissed again, really pissed. I started thinking what I’ll tell my boss. “…I still haven’t gotten my raise yet, either you guarantee that I will see the raise in the next paycheck plus an additional check with the amount of the raise times all those hours I worked since I was supposed and promised to get a raise (which was when I start working the projectors by myself) or I quit right now…” Lucky him he wasn’t there or I didn’t see him (there are like 7 guys working in the projectors and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to lose me, I haven’t screwed up any movies yet, others did).

But then, as I was building a movie, I got a call from my delivery manager asking me if I can do a delivery tomorrow (Friday) and that’s after telling him that Fridays are a problem for me. The reason is that on Thursdays at the cinemas we get the new movies that come out on Fridays. We need to build them, and then we need to watch them. There are a lot of other things we need to do, so we get off usually not before 2:00am. which means I go to sleep around 3:00am (after I shower and all that). So to get up at 8:30am and wait for a call from my deliver manager isn’t something I’m really looking for. I also need to sleep sometimes, not just work.
Now since he called me on Thursday evening (7:30pm) then I was able to say “sure I’ll take it, thank you!.” Another reason why it’s funny is because where I was at the moment I usually never get reception, but when he called I did have. I almost lost the call but had enough single to hear the time and location and tell him that I’ll take it.

I hope this post wasn’t too confusing…

This is a funny email I received; it seems like this email has been forward all over the world. I tried searching for the original to give credit, but all I found is many post of this by others with no credit to who ever wrote it. Please let me know if you know the original source. Thanks and enjoy.

To all my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don’t. As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated  that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) – bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health.
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I’m doing it as a public service!

I StumbleUpon this website that list lots of famous classical songs from movies, commercials, and so, and in that site I got to this funny trailer with Jack Black. WARNNING not suitable for children, might be offensive for others because of the language.
