Kain's Domain

I woke up this morning and headed to work very late, as my aunt did not have work and didn't need to be in until 8:30. So I ended up leaving the house at 8:25, and got there about five minutes to 9. I did my work, called Jo-Ann at around noon, and we planned to get out the movies later that night.

At around 4:00, I call her back and she said she had to work overtime, because she had six left of whatever it was that she was doing, and they take about 20 minutes each. So she had to stay until six. It was decided that I would hang out in the office playing my Nintendo DS until about 5:55, and then give her a call and meet her in the lobby.

So after work, I got everything ready, and stopped by Marvin's cubicle to talk to him for a bit. We ended up in a couple different conversations, when my supervisor notices me.

Supervisor: "Shouldn't you be gone?"
Me: "Yup, but I'm meeting a friend on the sixth floor at 6:00, so I'm just hanging out until then."
Supervisor: "Oh, okay, I thought you just lost track of time."
Me: "Nope, hehe, I'm keeping an eye on it."
Supervisor: "Okay. I just saw you and it looked unusual."
Marvin: "Yeah, we're used to you being gone by now."

So at five minutes to 6, I called Jo-Ann, and she said she was heading down to the lobby then. So I dashed off to meet her. I met up with her, we went across the street and caught the bus. It wasn't one of those normal, long busses. Nope, it was some weird short thing, and we had to stand and hold the handrail. We made our way to near her house, because she needed to stop home and pick up some items that were shipped to her from the people across the street who took them into their house so nothing would happen to them.

We got there, and I had to stay hidden, since these people holding the items are like, total gossipers, and they know Jo-Ann's husband. I've talked to the guy on the phone in the past, and he knows I'm no threat, but Jo-Ann doesn't need the rumors spread around that she was with some guy anyways. The people took their sweet time getting her the items, that we missed the bus to the mall, so she called a cab to pick us up and drop us off instead.

When we got to the mall, we hit Hot Dog Charlies, and we talked for a bit as she repeatedly told me to eat faster, since she knows how slow it takes me to eat and the movie was starting soon. She will not watch horror movies, which I love, but we ended up settling on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Once we got in the theater, we just sat there and watched.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factor.

Many differences from the original movie, I hear this one was made closer to the book than the original movie. Apparently, the guy Burton got to write the movie did not see the original until after this one was done, and once he saw it, he said the original was a lot darker. Wow, a movie darker than a Burton version. I didn't think it was possible. There were parts I remember looking forward to from the original that just didn't happen in the Burton version (What, no chicken with it's head being chopped off?!) but there were some funny moments. I liked it as a comparison, but not sure if I would prefer it over the original. I guess I'd have to see the original again.

After the movie, Jo-Ann and I headed out of the theater, I called my mom to pick me up, and Jo-Ann took the bus back home (she said she insists in taking the bus rather than being dropped off by us, she claims she needed to stop at CVS and Price Chopper.) She told me to call her at 10:30, and I tried, but there was no answer, not even the machine picked up.

I'm amazed she actually came through. I've only actually seen Jo-Ann twice since I started this job, even though she works in the same building. She is always too much of a workaholic to meet me for lunch or breaks. She apparently hangs out outside with some of her female co-workers sometimes, though. When I started the job, she told me she'd hang out with me atleast once a week at lunch. She's only done it once so far, despite calling her most everyday to see if she would hang out with me. Always too busy. Let's hope her actually meeting up with me is the start of hanging out with me again, as she did at our last job together five years ago.

Anyways, I got home, and now I'm very tired, and I need some sleep. So good night everyone.
