Kansas City Moment:1

There is only one Arby's within 10 miles of where I live, and nearly 6 McDonalds. I find this upsetting and unnecessary. If I want to enjoy a cheddar melt you better believe that each craving will lead to a 20 minute long adventure. Two Jimmy Johns and way too many pizza and bbq joints...but no Arby's. Kansas City, you suck.

Cinemark Moment 2

My job is to usher, thus I must keep things in order and clean...including all 14 theaters. And I do just that. I'm sure many people work at places where people ask questions that make them want to slap that customer in the face. I know I do. And here's a few examples:

1) "Excuse me mam. Where is the bathroom?" I look up at a confused soccer mom doing the pee pee dance then look to our left and point up at the giant restroom sign above us. "See.." I say.


2) While working in box office ( against my will) a woman approaches smiling with a one tooth grin. "Hey. Hey mam. I-is this a 'movie' theater?" I look passed her into the background at all the standees displaying the soon to be released blockbuster summer hits and sigh. My vision focuses back on the woman currently looking up at the movie times displayed above me, she notices my eyes on her and asks again. "Well, is it?" "Yes mam..." all I could utter.

The only reason I haven't found another job: Movie hoppers and their excuses:

3) "I just bought this ticket man!" Ticket says 2:30pm and it's 7:45pm. We can't sell tickets for that time so late on the same day.

4) "U-uh yeah, so I got just throw my stub away you know? So, where's the 9:15 Transformers?" Me: "We don't have a 9:15 Transformers." Person: "Really? Cuz I just bought a ticket!" Giving me the death glare. Me: "Lets go to box office and check the show times, ok?" Person: "Y-yeah ok whatever." He starts down the stairs basically running, turns right, and out the exit.

5) Got somene letting friends in the exit. I love their reason. "Yeah man, you see my friend here really needed to use the restroom." Me: "Then he needs to go down stairs to McDonalds. We don't have public restrooms." Before it was all said and done his friend went down stairs and bought a ticket.

People kill me, or maybe I take my job to seriously.

Cinemark Moment 1

While taking a break from the usual hustle and bustle that is my job and couple co-workers and I were standing near a soon to be cleaned theater chatting about the events of the previous evening. Suddenly a woman brust through the doors of theater 12 a.k.a Harry Potter. A severe slender woman red in the face and what I would call the bowl cut for women hair cut stands next to us by the railings on her phone. It's clear that she was very unhappy. I, myself, was hoping it had nothing to do with the movie, and within seconds of her standing there I found out exactly what made her so angry. And I quote:

"Hello? Hello..? Hello!? Who is this!? I'm in the midd- who is this? Jackie?! Hello!? I'm in the middle of a movie! What do you want? Jackie why can't you tell m- Dumbledore is dying!! (free arm waving frantically) Elizabe- Hello!!! Elizabeth why can't Jackie tell me what she wants!? I'm in the middle of a movie!!! (practically in tears at this point) I need to go!"


Well my co-wokers and I slowly and silently walked away from the lady screaming into the phone. I pretended to sweep up popcorn that didn't exist just so I could hide around a nearby corner and laugh to my hearts content. I honestly don't know what was more upsetting...Dumbledore's death or the Jackie not wanting to talk to her anymore. At any rate, it made my day. Customers are a riot and then some.

Reason of this blog.

So I made this blog for the purpose of showing the world my lovely animations...and forgot about it making a new blog for just such a purpose. Well, Melissa what on Earth are you going to use this blog for? I don't know self! Perhaps I should use this blog to document my sanity as I complete my final year of my undergrad eudcation. Oh! That sounds like an amazingly awesome and ridiculously great idea Melissa! I know right!


Dear Reader (if you are there),

As you can see there is not much sanity to note at the current moment, BUT fear not! I not only aim to entertain you with my struggles but with coming events and the batshit insane people of Kansas City MO. For instance, I meet most of Kansas City's finest and my place of employment...Cinemark. Oh the stories and memories I have locked away somewhere in my brain, scary really.


Love deeply madly,
Me

My first blog.

Well, this being my first and all that good stuff, I'm a little stumped. I aim to add my artwork to the blog and hopefully gain creditable feedback or at least some recognition as an artists. Once I figure out how to post a gosh darn video I'll get right on that.
