Shopping at SkyMall, my Five-Mile High Mall,,,
So, after eight hours of being led on tours through Wal-Mart, a place I've been nearly every day of my life, I'm still not entirely sure what my job is. You'd think that I'd get, "Here's a box, here's where it goes, go unload it." But NOoooooooo....We played board games and went on scavenger hunts.
"But Marty, that sounds like fun!" You may say, but it's fun in the sense that some people use the term "fun and educational!" meaning not very fun at all, and educational in the sense that I might need to re-educate myself above a third-grade level due to the amount of innocent, happy functioning brain cells which were brutally and needlessly murdered by training videos.
Hopefully today, I'll be able to step out on the floor and do some work, or maybe there will be more fun and exciting Adventures in Wal-Mart Training.
Warning: RANT AHEAD!
In other news, Comic book Artist Michael Turner died yesterday at age 37, following a battle with cancer, and now an internet previously dedicated to loudly yelling how much he sucks, (which, for the record, was a LOT) is suddenly pretending we was a legend. Don't misunderstand me, I feel bad about Turner and his family, because 37 is way, way, too young, but at the same time I find myself irritated by the hypocrisy that the world has regarding the opinion of dead people's work. It's not like Heath Ledger, where you just didn't stop to think about the amount of talent he had until he died, because people very clearly HAD thought about the amount, and decided it was negligible, if not non-existent, until now, whereupon those same people declare him a master. It's just hypocrisy, and it irritates me. (/rant)
WALL-E is amazing. Just....go see it. Now. Once again, you will be stunned at just how good those PIXAR guys are at telling a story.
