Hot Girl of the Week...

Bansidhe St. Quinlan, PCP (Paranormal Criminal Psychologist), Interpol.
It's all about the wavy red hair, the deep emerald eyes, those lucious lips and her ability to kick some major ass when it comes to fighting off thugs. She can also be as gentle as a lamb when she is working at her second job as a sideshow "freak."

Look... admire.... and realize that she is all mine. YEAH, BABY!

We took the kiddies to see HP & The Goblet of Fire today...I must say that up until now, the movies have been as good as or maybe even better than the books...but this one fell short of my expectations. Book IV was really good and I even got misty eyed at the end. You're free to use your imagination when you read...creating your own characters, imagining what the monsters look like...and I understand with movies you can only do so much. I just didn't get into it as much as I have the others. The acting was mediocre at best. I could tell they were "acting". Of course, this is also the 4th director the Harry Potter movies have seen, so...
Let's hope for better with the next 3 movies...

Hasta Luego!

I Hate People

Okay, so I pretty much dislike everybody at my job (save for one person who is a friend who helped me get the job) and I'm almost old enough to be everybody's father (not that I'm old mind you, they are just really young) *wink*
Anyway, back at the beginning of October during the 2nd group interview process, I brought it to the attention of the managers that I am a working actor and I also have kids in school and a wife who works full time, so I have a very specific schedule that I can work and cannot deviate from those hours. I explained to them that I have movie dates coming up (in which I am involved) and I requested November 10th - 14th off in the scheduling book, as instructed to do so by the "area supervisor" who was conducting the interview. She assured me that it wouldn't be a problem.
Okay, so here it is Nov. 6th and I get to work and I look at my schedule for the week and don't ya know they have me working on the 11th & 12th?! So I go to the back, and the new lady who had just been hired to do scheduling introduces herself to me, and I explain to her that I am not supposed to be working this weekend because of a prior engagement and she proceeds to tell me that my days off were NOT approved because it is the holidays and nobody gets time off during the holidays.
I was like, Ummm, listen missy, first of all I will NOT be working this weekend because during my 2nd interview it was APPROVED by "manager" & "area supervisor". And then she was like, "well you're going to need to find someone to cover your shifts because I cannot approve these days and I already have enough work on my hands trying to cover everybody else's shifts." And again I was like, Ummm, perhaps you didn't hear me the first time, but my schedule is not for YOU to approve. It has ALREADY BEEN APPROVED by "manager"...you know, the same manager who is also YOUR boss? Again, I will NOT be working this weekend and it is NOT my job to find somebody to cover my shifts...that's what they hired YOU for.
And then she STILL won't shut her fucking mouth! She goes on to say that I am really lucky that I started working there before she did, otherwise I wouldn't be working there now and that I have a bad attitude.
Oh my God, I wanted to punch her in the face! So she says she's going to discuss it with "manager", so I'm just waiting for "manager" to get in this afternoon so I can discuss it with her first before Krispy Fat Ass does.
Katie always tells me to choose my battles. Well this one is a battle that I will win. My time off was approved by the fucking manager and this bitch is trying to tell ME that no, in fact it is NOT approved and I WILL work or else...or else WHAT, BITCH?! You're gonna fire me? Go ahead. As it is I'm only making $6.75/hour and I'm lucky if I get 20 hours/week. Fire me and then you will not only have the daunting task of covering my shift, but you will then have to hire someone else whom you can bully around...but I can assure you, it AINT me! 'Cause I have NO trouble telling you how the cow ate the cabbage and where to get off the bus.
