I hate change. I don't do well when it happens. I like to have things planned out (something most of you already know about me, esp. in regards to hanging out). This past Mon. one of my receiving peeps let me know that he had finally decided when he was going to move.
It was almost a year ago that he'd announced he was leaving. I had pretty much figured it wasn't ever going to happen and he was going to die at the store like the rest of us.
He told me the date and my second thought was---oh shit, that's going to mess up my vacation. Yes, that's me. Always thinking of others. After taking an evening to cool down, I'd come up with a way to still take part of what's left of my vacation. Then, the good karma I generated by going back for lemonade made its way back to myself. One of our shelvers who does a real good job would like the position. SWEET! She'll be super easy to train because I don't have to dick around with all the company mumbo jumbo crap like you have to with a newbie. She's already here (no two week notice to another job needed) and she already knows the cart system which is half the battle to getting receiving! Now, I just need to tell my boss what's up and the world will have been righted.
More importantly, I don't have to interview anyone.
Not much else has been going on. I'm waiting for something good to come into the theaters. The weekend was freakin' hot so I did nothing but sit in front of the fan and either read or re-watch season two of Dr. Who. Summer sucks.
Couldn't think of a pic today so I went to my default of Mr. Reznor. I'd just read that on AOL Music they had a poll asking who the Sexiest Single Male Musicians were and Trent came in at #17. He was above John Mayer (take that pretty boy!) and below Lil Wayne (I had no idea either...). I'm not sure, but I think he was the only guy over the age of 30 on the list.
No one guessed the quote so here's where "I'm a concerned prude with a lot of time on my hands." comes from--Ned Flanders, The Simpsons.
I think at least one of you will know the new one.
WATCH IT:
The summer season has started (The Closer, The 4400, Ghost Hunters...yeah!) and I'm going to suggest checking out The Power Of Art on PBS. Hosted by the amazing Simon Schama (sp) who brought us the doc series History Of Britain, Power Of Art spends each episode looking at one specific work and giving us the history of the work and the artist. Schama knows how to make history dynamic and relevant and he does the same with art. I'm not a Picasso fan, yet the episode I saw on him was interesting and compelling. Support PBS and check this out on Mondays--refer to local listings for times.
LISTEN TO IT:
Nine Inch Nails--Something I Can Never Have (off of the Still release) a somber song full of enough longing to make The Cure and The Smiths jealous, this features just Trent, a piano and some dude on a barely there guitar...gives me the chills.
READ IT:
There's a great article in the latest issue of Wired that talks about how the lead singer of Linkin Park was stalked via email. I won't give it away, but I will say the matter almost became one of national security.
