A blast from the past.

Trick #1

Best way to go home early from work: burst into tears when your boss asks you how your day was. But it should only be used when you're totally serious, when you don't mean to burst into tears, and then you turn bright red because you're crying in the middle of a crowded area, and your boss gets really panicky and tells you to go on a break or whatever (anything to get you to stop crying!), and then you're totally miserable for the rest of the evening, and feel like hugging your boss when he asks you if you want to go home.


...so I guess it's not a trick at all...




Never mind.

my new catch phrase

So, I had a feedback card filled out about me at work by a customer, and it was really good feedback! She had come in and worried about not getting everything done that she needed to, and (apparently) I responded with "anything can happen if you just believe."

It is now my new catchphrase at work. And you know what, I am totally proud of that! (I'm such a cheeseball!!!!!)

Back to school...yay?

School starts up next week, and I feel very unprepared for it. I feel like it's still the beginning of summer, you know? I just started my job, I don't have to pack anything, and I'm really enjoying lying around on my butt and not doing anything (ok, so nothing new with that one). I'm going into this new year excited, but also a bit worried. I can't see how everything is going to be, which is silly to expect, especially this year will be so different from any other year. I guess I always resist a little bit to change; I was sad for the school year to end last year, but I'm not ready for it to start now. Perhaps that's not too different than what other people are thinking...

Oh well. The new year is here whether I'm ready for it or not.

Movie of the week

Pan's Labyrinth was one of the best movies I've seen all year. It was stunning, engaging, smart, and gorgeous. Some of the most incredible cinematography; every shot was smooth and near perfect. Pan's Labyrinth was also very intense, so be prepared before you plug it in, that you're in for a gripping movie. I found it easy to get past the blood and violence, because the movie had been done so well that it almost seemed necessary.

Almost.

I really recommend it, it was a killer movie!
