spoiled chinese girl

I realized that taking the same amount of money for doing the work of one (me) and the work for two (me and the girl who just walked out today) is f***ing stupid.

Therefore I just sent an e-mail to my former (and soon to be again temporarly) co-worker, basically saying I want a 30% increase in salary. I also justified my points by saying “The last increase request was a cost of living increase, where I was expected to take 50% of the duties/responsibilites of the office. Now that I'm expecting to take 100% of the office duties, I think it's fair that I expect to be compensated.” I'm sure we'll negotiate. But maybe they won't

Hell if I get this increase in full I'll go e-mail that guy back and see if he's still got that fixie bike!

Okay. I was fired from the company I was working for (for almost 11 months) back in April, which wasn't too thrilling nor exciting, mostly because of what asshats they were about it. (I knew it was coming because I heard about the newspaper ad they put out, and the stacks of resumes they received.)

Anyways, the girl who replaced me, had a family emergency and also wasn't thrilled with the bosses reaction, (Who in their right mind tells someone to divorce their family, because their family needs them?) and left after about a month.

The girl that replaced her, I just found out, walked. Today.

Is it so wrong to feel so giddy? The chick that's in the office said maybe they'll bring me back. Is it wrong to feel so giddy at the fact that I don't have to go back?

I don't care if it's wrong.

seriously. I spent like an hour playing catch (involved a lot of running, bah) after spending 2 hours at the gyme, and my right shoulder feels like it doesn't have the strength to keep my arm in its socket. and I do it all again tomorrow (the gyme, not so sure about the playing catch) p.s. I throw like a girl when my arm is tired. it's HORRIBLE

I finally got to the gym today, after probably many days of not going (at least a week).  I did my normal 30 minutes on the crosstrainer, then hit the cable weights.  Since I haven’t done it in a while and I noticed how every other time I hit heavier weights, I went for super light weights.  15lbs on the chest fly, 3 sets of 20 reps, and 10lbs on the bicep and tricep curls. 3 sets of 15 for those.  Then 30lbs on the back pull thing for 3 sets of 15, before doing the crunch machine for 40lbs in sets of 20-15-10-5.

Of course since it was such a nice day outside I then went and played catch/baseball.  During such events I think I hurt my right shoulder from throwing too hard without warming up my arm first, hurt my left shoulder by putting my arms above my head and bringing them back down ackwardly, and I may have shinsplints in my left shin because it started hurting after a lot of running after the ball.

WHEE!

Well, I won’t give away much if any of the plot of the movie since it only was theaterically released last night, and I’m sure all 3 of you have already seen it if it interests you.  Anyways.

I have to admit I left the theatre disapointed last night.  It was funny, it was very funny.  I laughed my ass off during the funny parts of the movie, which there were many to laugh at.  But the movie was missing something, something that would have made it a great movie.

My friend Brandon who I took to the movie with me, mentioned how Kevin Smith movies are based on dialogue, and not plot, but still the previous movies I’d seen all had a decent plot to them.  Except Jersey Girl, I never saw that one, but there wasn’t Jay or Silent Bob so I felt there wasn’t a point.  Yes the dialogue was funny, extremely funny at times but even the dialogue was missing something.

The argument was made that Jay and Silent Bob aren’t integeral characters to the plot, which they weren’t, and it was made obviously and painfully so.  But I think there wasn’t enough of them, while they weren’t the main characters, they’re definately important characters.  There wasn’t enough drug dealing outside of the store, or star wars references, or anyone playing hockey.  You think there would have been food stealing, or food fights or at least more dick humour then there really was.

*sigh*

I still loved the movie, I’d still go see it again, and I’m definately going to end up buying the DVD when it comes out. (Unless I can find it on LaserDisc)  And I totally reccomend everyone to go see it since it’s still an awesome movie.  But something, just SOMETHING was missing.

What was really awesome, however, is that my friends Rachel Larratt and Shannon Larratt had walk-on roles in the movie.  Nothing cooler than my ability to say “Yea? Well I know Girl at Counter with Ear Guy, and Ear Guy!”

Maybe it’s just the fact that everyone in the movie is 10 years older now, which is… just kind of disturbing to look at.  Or maybe it’s because I have a strong suspision that Kevin Smith was wearing a wig.
