Oh, man. The hairdresser I've been going to since I was born (and my mom since she was in, like, her 20s, and she's 58) is getting married to his boyfriend on his 70th birthday. That's so sweet! I'm really happy for them. Yay California for gay marriage! If it's overturned in November by stupid homophobes who aren't even affected by gay people getting married miles away from them I am going to be SO pissed off.

Anyways. I'm sucking at updating. Pretty much all I do is work. I had Monday-Wednesday off, and I didn't really do much except Tuesday night, so I don't really have any excuse for then. I worked yesterday and I closed, which sucked. I'm getting much better at my job, though, at least, and most of the people are nice, so that's good.

People are so stupid, though. I was working box office yesterday and this guy came up and was like "Can I have 2 tickets for The Happening?" and I was like "...no, sorry, we aren't playing that movie" and he looked at me funny and was like "Why not?" And I was like "...uh? I'm sorry? I don't actually choose the movies we play?" He was incredibly disgruntled over that. It was bizarre. Oh and then I had this conversation with someone who called:

Person: Can I get tickets for Wall-E for tomorrow?
Me: ...no, sorry, we're not playing that movie here.
Person: Well, where is it playing?
Me: ...I'm not sure. (I don't actually have the schedule of every other theater memorized.)
Person: What about the theater in Fashion Island?
Me: ...this is the theater in Fashion Island.
Person: Big Newport?
Me: No, this is Island 7. Big Newport is across the street.
Person: When are they playing it?
Me: I'm not sure. (I don't have their schedule/the schedule for tomorrow.)
Person: Well, can you connect me to them?
Me: No, I don't know how to do that. (Also, I'm not an operator, and I'm pretty sure I don't have that function on this phone.)
Person: [very disgruntled] Well, what's their number?
Me: I'm not sure. (Seriously, you can find our number, but you can't find theirs? Also, have you ever heard of something called THE INTERNET? Or even, you know, the newspaper? Which has the times every morning for every movie in the area?)
Person: Fine. [hangs up]

God. Also, finally, this one guy came and asked me to tell him every movie that was playing, when they were starting, and when the last movie let out. Even though ALL that information (except for when the last movie lets out) is up on the marquee, right above his head. But there was no one around and he looked kind of homeless so I told him. And then he came in and asked the manager (without buying a ticket) if he could wash his hands and the manager said yes and he went up to the bathroom and I never saw him leave. So I think he might have been a homeless man who snuck into a movie possibly. Or maybe he did just go wash his hands and I missed him leave. But whatever. It was bizarre either way.

Work today from 1-9:30, tomorrow 3-11:30 (UGH HATE CLOSING), Sunday 10-6 (favorite shift! win!), and Monday 3-11. sigh. I think I'm going to be busy every weekend for the rest of the summer, which sucks. I feel like I never see my friends anymore. And when I do, it's just to play tennis, which is nice, but I'd like to do something where I don't feel like I'm just being invited out so there are enough people to play. I haven't even seen Soan or Andrew, even though the UCs are all out now, and I don't even know if Annie's back because I haven't talked to her in forever. =/ Getting paid is nice (well... it will be once I get paid) and the job isn't too bad for what it is and the people there are nice, but I miss my friends.

LMAO. That sounds like some of the crazy calls I get at Walmart when I'm on the phones. I get a lot of people who call and ask if we sell beer (we don't) so then they ask what store around Walmart sells beer and I say I don't know and they start asking me to transfer them to another store. WTF? Morons.

I know! I get so many people asking me where to find other stores and restaurants and such that are in the same shopping center as the theater, and... I don't actually hang out in that shopping center very often because all the stores are really expensive, so I have absolutely no idea where anything is. But then they get really frustrated with me when I can't tell them how to find whatever. It's like... there are maps/directories all over the shopping center, why won't you just look there?
