and now, the randomness of it all!

hollybrookeMonday night, Kevin and I went to see Watchmen. Considering I haven't read the graphic novel, I felt this was a good movie. It was entertaining, and it told a good story. The ending was a little lame, though, but that didn't really bother me.
But if you want me to be a smartass about it....it's about a bunch of retired vigilantes/superheroes who are depressed and questioning their lot in life while on the cusp of WWIII in 1985. Hell, Dr. Manhattan just kept going on about "I pretend to care" and "I don't care anymore" and I kept thinking, "He's really given up on life if he can't be bothered to PUT ON SOME FREAKING PANTS!"
Too much blue peen for me to handle! I quote Christian Bale: "It's fucking distracting!"
*tangent* And now, an update on the Grandma Cozie situation, since I didn't blog about it sooner. The reason she was severely dehydrated? NOT a cancer flare-up, but a massive kidneystone infection! Why? Because like I said, she drinks nothing but Coca-Cola. According to Dad, the doctors said it was the worst/biggest case they had ever seen. But I guess she's doing okay now (despite the cancer, of course).
*tangent* Work today....UGH. They had opening in the service center today from 7 AM-3 PM. Now it wouldn't have been that bad if it hadn't been for the call-offs. Or rather, the suspension that I was unaware of and not prepared for. One of our UCs got suspended and had a 7:30-1:45 shift today. No one left a note for me about this, and no one bothered to call around last night and get the shift taken care of for this morning. So it's 7:45 and I'm not sure what to do because it's so freaking early. One of the other UCs heard something that he had gotten suspended, but wasn't sure. There's no CSM there yet, and the only manager on duty is Randy (the actual STORE manager), so I had to get this confirmed with him. He asked me why I was asking, and I told him that there was no note left about this, and the shift was not taken care of on today's assignment sheet.
Then the actual call-offs. UC #1 called off her 10 AM-6 PM shift, complaining that she can't shake her cold. (I'm surprised she hasn't been let go yet; she's always calling off sick.) So I had to jump through hoops covering the suspended UC's shift and UC #1's. Then another UC (#2) was supposed to work a 10 AM-6 PM shift, and it was about twenty minutes into his shift before anyone really noticed he never showed up. It's not like him to just flake out like that; he's a model worker. So we call to see what's up with him (since he took this shift from another UC and maybe he forgot about it?), and it turns out he's sick, too. Sick enough to forget about calling off. It was bad enough that I had just gotten done making my way down the UC list calling whoever had the day off to fill in for UC #1.
Just....ugh, yeah, One of those kind of days.
*tangent* You know it's true love when he says for Halloween, he'll willing to do the purple hair thing and dress up as the Rio to your Jem. And you didn't even really ASK him in the first place. :D :D (Oh Kevin...)
