Happy days.....

Is it wrong that I walked past someone’s desk last week and saw a new Banana Yoshimoto book and wanted to steal it?

Nothing as lovely as opening post taking out a survey card flicking through paper work to read the comment “found in bin”. Ewwwwwww!

Friday and payday! Best day ever, its now been and gone. It’s less amazing after you pay the bills.

Meeting room theft seems to be a constant problem these days. There a nervous people that hover for extended periods outside hoping the thieves will leave, those that simply walk in and tell them its booked (polite get the fuck out), those that knock first before kicking out the thieves, the mimers that never speak to the thieves but explain through the magic of mime that the room is booked, and then thieves themselves that are initially confident in their thievery and become more nervous as more people walk by, as they be the people that booked the room. There is then the other breed that begin long conference calls or presentations, these people are harder to move. On occasion they will not acknowledge the hoverer and at other times one will come out and explain that they can’t possibly leave as they’re right in the middle of INSERT CLIENT RELATED THING. I myself was a victim of a particularly heinous room theft. I had had the room booked for two months with more than ten people plus clients expected. A group of people from another department took the room, ignored my hovering and glass tapping. WANKERS! I’ve moved on though clearly. On a similar note a group of VIPs were squeezed into a tiny room this morning. Its rather humorous actually, looked like none of them have ever been in such a small room let alone for a meeting.

Why does Greenwich Picture house have to schedule the screenings of Shame at extremely early or late times its annoying. I was completely appalled by my sister in laws experience at a mother and baby screening the other day. Apparently it’s a common problem that the cinema let non mother and baby customers into the screening. As a cinema goer if I walked into a cinema with the lights on and women with babies I’d go ask for my money back. The delightful group of people that were in this screening didn’t do that. They sat at the back and watched the film, so of course Izzy had a bit of a scream. This is normal for mother baby screenings, so Hannah walked around with her trying to calm her down. One of the old ladies came up to her, we’re talking closer that normal social boundaries dictate and screamed at her. The general gist being that Hannah is being selfish and should get out. This was naturally upsetting and unnerving for her, then another mother piped up and said that she shouldn’t leave and had every right to be there. The screaming woman sat down and watched the rest of the film. The screaming woman also demanded her money back at the end of the screening, if she was that bothered she should have left. Hannah did get a free voucher for another screening, but it was a serious fail on the part of the Odeon and the screaming woman.
