Hooky

I so desperately want to play hooky from work today. It's sunny out, I have a good book... I want to go sit by the pool and read until I burn to a tomatoesque crisp. I won't though, play hooky. As much as I'd like to call out and avoid the caffeine addicted hordes that surely await me (today is a cafe day for me), I am a Responsible Adult. Dangit. Plus I have to tell my retail boss about my NEW NON RETAIL JOB!That's right. Yours truly now has a Grown Up Job in which I sit at a desk and from the hours of 9 to 5, make phone calls send e-mails and attend staff meetings. I have an Office Job. I am SO EXCITED. I used to play office as a kid (yes I'm a nerd, but knowing me as long as you have, are you surprised?). I will no longer be paid hourly and for less than minimum wage (after taxes). I'll have a salary and a commission. I have to say though, the best part of it is the 9-5. It kind of goes against my theater/atrsyness to have such a repetitious schedule, but after YEARS of retail and not knowing from one week to the next what my hours are going to be or what my days off are going to be... I will be really glad to not have to work weekends anymore. Also, this job is........*gasp* IN MY FIELD, which is a dream that I had just about given up on. No, I'm not making movies or writing books yet, but this is a good jumping off point. It's way cool. Also, I saw the new Johnny Depp movie yesterday. It was good. I won't ruin the ending by commenting on what I thought about it, but Johnny Depp is brilliant as always, and I could see a few touches that after the **Extensive** studying of him that I have done over the last few months (I've been a bit obsessed), I could recognize as his own--the Hunter S Thompson book on the coffee table, the knit cap his character wears, there are a couple others that escape me right now, but they'll come back to me because I'll probably go see it again next weekend. It's one of those movies that after you watch it, you HAVE to watch it again, if for no other reason than to stare at Johnny Depp for another two hours. Who wouldn't enjoy that?
