brokenrecordSo, um, I think I got the job at the movie theater? The interview went ok, and at the end he gave me Reference Check Sheets to give to my references to fill out (because apparently they're too damn lazy to actually call their references themselves. ugh. So annoying. It's not like I see these people very often. It's going to be a pain to figure out how to get it to Mrs. Bentley) and said to turn them into him as soon as possible because he can't offer me a job until then. But from how he worded it, I assume he's going to give me the job? I just have to get those sheets in. I think I'd be a lot happier about getting the job if I didn't have to go through this. I keep wanting to say "SERIOUSLY. IT'S A MOVIE THEATER. DO YOU REALLY NEED REFERENCES TO TELL YOU THAT I CAN MAKE CORRECT CHANGE OR GIVE PEOPLE TICKETS OR SWEEP FLOORS?"
The questions at the interview were kind of ridiculous, too. He asked me what my favorite movie was, which... ok, reasonable. But after I told him, he asked me to describe the plot. I mean, I guess it makes a little sense because someone could try to be all pretentions and be like "Citizen Kane" without ever having seen it, and then not know the plot. ...but still. So I said my favorite was Moulin Rouge just because it really got me into watching movies and looking for other great movies and a lot of it was nostalgia, and then I was describing the plot and I said the courtesan died of tuberculosis and he kind of frowned at that and shook his head and I was like "WTF?!" in my head, but I just said "I think it was that. They called it something else in the movie, but it's tuberculosis. She coughed blood a lot!" And then (he took notes every once and awhile based on what I said), I kid you not, he wrote down "coughed blood a lot" under where he wrote down "Moulin Rouge" for my favorite movie. Just... what? What does that note even TELL him? Good lord.
Anyways. Panic at the Disco/Motion City Soundtrack/The Hush Sound/Phantom Planet concert in Anaheim is only a week from today! I'm so excited. :D Is anyone else going? And does anyone know the venue/band's policy on digital cameras? I want to take pictures, but I don't want to get my camera confiscated or have to waste money on a disposable when I already have a digital.
