Ev?! HI!

[chaos_goddess]

W! yus, tis me! and hi hi!

how have you been, darlin?

[shadowlongknife]

Hullo, doll. I'm okay-ish. I'm actually sort of amused tonight, in an evil, eeeevil way. Don't ask me to explain too much, it wouldn't make much sense to anyone but me right now.

We spent the day at the movies today. 'Twas much fun.

[chaos_goddess]

ooooh, eeeeevil? evilly amused is always a goodness, even if i don't know why you're amused.

what movie did y'all go see? and i'm nosy, who's y'all?

[shadowlongknife]

Wow, you know, after a day's break, I don't even remember what I was amused about. Huh.

We saw Cloverfield, Juno, and I Am Legend, all in one shot. The we in question would be myself, my roommate, and our friend Damon.

[chaos_goddess]

haha, maybe you weren't as amused as you thought if you don't remember anymore?

how was I Am Legend? it looks like it could be really good.

[shadowlongknife]

I think I Am Legend was pretty good, but nowhere near as good as it could have been. They did a fine job of building tension, and there were some REALLY good scares that had me climbing the back of my chair. But all that good work fell apart in the end of the movie, mostly because I'm a big fan of the original Richard Matheson short story.

[chaos_goddess]

i swear i replied to you the other day from work but apparently it did not go through, bad LJ and gmail!

i've never read the short story, but perhaps i will and then see the movie, though i know that normally when you do that you're usually disappointed with the movie. i don't think i could see Cloverfield, from what i've heard about the way it was shot i'd be one of the people getting motion sick, and taking dramamine would defeat the point 'cause i'd just pass out and miss the movie anyway.

anything else new with you? i feel like i haven't talked to you in forevah! yus yus i know, it HAS been a long time since i've posted a damn thing on here.

[shadowlongknife]

I will explain.

No, it is too much, I will sum up.

Today, this morning, at 6 AM, I was laid off, due to three bad inventory audits in a row. I was excused from work, because they're bringing in a new manager to run the store and see if he can bring in things where they're supposed to be in the time that the real boss will be having surgery, and recovering. When he's back, I'm welcome to come back, but God knows how long that could take.

So, I've had better days.

[chaos_goddess]

oh man, that sucks babe, i'm sorry to hear that. hopefully it won't take too long, but i don't know that i'd want to go back to a place that excuses the employees just 'cause their boss screwed up.

*hugs you*

[shadowlongknife]

Yeah, the more I hear about that place, the more it may be a blessing that I'm gone. I feel like I've wasted the last three years, to be tossed aside like that.

The shitty part is, it was perfect. Close to home, not awful money, and graveyard shift, so I could use the roomie's van without it ever getting in his way. I don't know that I'm gonna find anything that good again.

[chaos_goddess]

ok, that sucks even more, being there for three years and then to just be dismissed like that. though i understand the ambivalence, finding the perfect job and feeling like you're not given any kind of respect sucks like woah. i hope you find a way to make it work out.

[shadowlongknife]

Ah, whatever the perfect job is, I don't think it's in retail. With a little luck, this'll be exactly the push I needed to find something that'll pay me what I'm worth, in a field where I don't have to be breathed on by drunks, and won't be in constant danger of the next guy in the door whipping out a gun.
