movie review included

I was pre-close last night and our ASM was closing so we were chatting about this and that, and I suddenly remembered that he was to be the subject of a post. So here goes.

I started at my new store the same day as the new quarter started. So it's been 5 weeks for both now. So I think it was Monday of week 4, my ASM said, "Rachel, come on out back, we need to have our 3-week review." I informed him that it had been 4 weeks as we headed out back. (note: our back room is as big as my apartment!) I was a little stressed about this conversation as I was convinced that he hated me. But we sat down and just chatted about the store and how the East is totally different from Seattle. I did say in convo that I felt like I had come to the store at a really bad time. And he agreed with me, which didn't make me feel that much better, but he said it was okay and that he didn't hate me. So I guess things are going well... lol

Seriously, I do enjoy it, but it really doesn't feel like home yet. I miss my people at Pike Place. :( But I know where stuff is, and I have a lot more "freedom" to find stuff on my own and make decisions, so that is good. I just have to walk 10 blocks home. Actually, it's not a big deal and I enjoy the walk most nights.

And now, on to the movie review.

I watched Napoleon Dynamite last night. For the first time. Yes, I know it's been out for a bunch of years! But I was at Will's and saw it on Corey's movie shelf, so asked to borrow it. :) It is not a good movie, but it was funny. But painful. No one should make a movie about how frightening high school is! There were some moments of amazing cinematography, but they were few and far between. I would watch it again, but it did hurt.

Tonight is a punk show that I want to go see but I'm not sure I want to go by myself. The promoter hasn't contacted me since Tuesday, so I'm not sure I'm getting hooked up with backstage or not. Grrr.

Guess I could so see a movie with Will instead?

I'll have to see what happens...
