I haven't been up to much since I quit my supermarket job... Just a lot of shopping and playing Genso Suikoden II (to prepare for III, of course!!) Slacker!!! But I'm enjoying it.
Today I went to the movie theatre with Ryuuen-chan and my sister. I had my heart set on watching the new Disney Movie, but tickets were sold out so we watched Minority Report instead. Which I'm glad we did, because it was good!!! XD Sci-fi and psychology and action. But the part(s) that I enjoyed most of all was Danny the Justice Department Operative (Colin Farrell). C... cute....!!! It's been a long time since I got a nice movie buzz like the one I have now....
By the way, Ryuuen-chan and I also watched Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron the other day. Spirit was a lecherous macho horsie (that part where he leers at Rain the mare....>_<;). The animation was very pretty, though. And I liked the moustached captain. Or whatever his military rank was.

I went to X-fest down in San Diego Saturday. Despite the fact I got my face sunburned (from sitting out in the sun for 4 hours) and my throat is sore (from inhaling secondhand smoke from the imbeciles who couldn't read the non-smoking warning in the amphitheatre), it was quite fun.
Sunday was my last day at the supermarket I worked part-time at. I went through many incidents which were the causes of stress-related headaches and cold sores there. Most of them had to do with stubborn customers, who can be forgiven, but the rest were policies made by my fussy managers. I had another final incident today talking to my bitch of an assitant manager... Since it was may last day on the job, I handed in my apron to her. This apron is a ugly red piece of worn-out cloth which every female employee has to tie around her body when she works. (The male employees get a brown one that actually looks like a decent apron.) The assitant manager hesitates a bit before recieving my apron and I think, "Oh yeah, I should have washed it turned it in first, that would've been the courteous thing to do, even though I washed it the other day and it's perfectly clean..." so I take it back and say, "I'll wash it first." And she goes, "We want everyone to dry-clean the aprons before they return them." I seriously thought she was joking so I laugh, "You're kidding, right?" but she was dead serious. Dry-clean?!?! As I explained before, this was not a nice apron. It was a piece of trash when I recieved it, and dry-cleaning it would be as meaningless as dry-cleaning old underwear. (Apologies to anyone who does actually dry-clean their underwear, but I think the idea is just absurd.) It would be embarrassing to even take this scrap of cloth to a dry-cleaning place!!! It was humiliating to even be wearing it! And she wanted it to be starched and pressed. ..................................I managed to walk out of the office with a promise to return the apron after I got it dry-cleaned, but I have decided that I'll step on it a couple times and return it unwashed. She'll never know the difference anyway...
