Can say hello to the Easter weekend. They're predicting the weather to be cool. I think that tends to be the case. I work so it doesn't really matter to me, not that I'm overly religious. I don't mind getting the hours in if someone feels they need to have off to celebrate their beliefs what ever their religion.
Yesterday was boring at work. I did have a sale go through but didn't get a measure. I also had a discussion with the Specialty Assistant Manager about calling customers who have been measured for installations. These customers are color coded: green because they've been called, yellow indicates they need to be called, and red meaning they're overdue. There was a time when you had a day after the customer was measured when they'd be yellow. Now, the instant they've been measured, they go red. I told him I thought we should give the customer the courtesy of thinking about their quote for a day or so rather than shove that sale down their throat as soon as possible. He disagreed.
A friend recommended I watch the old Ari Aster film Hereditary. So I did, with Biggie. In case you didn't know, Aster's films tend to be arthouse horror... sort of. I think he wants to be seen as being profound. He isn't. His films never come close to being box office hits because of this. Anyway, I took a picture of Biggie before he decided Hereditary was boring and lay down to go to sleep.
Oh, I liked Hereditary.
ReplyDeleteIt kind of surprised me and I saw it more as a stand in for gender dysphoria. And I love Toni.
As for Thomas? No surprise. His wife collaborated with the January six insurrection for fuck’s sake! Wait until they go into the drunken frat boy’s and the Opus Dei woman’s trash. Pro Publica is doing what mainstream media does not dare do.
XOXO

Overall I thought the movie was fine, there were flaws. As for Thomas, they're going to toast his ass.
DeleteYou can tell the Specialty Assistant he is sorely misguided. I would not be happy to get a call so soon as he says. Some of us want a day or two to think it over. Clarence Thomas should never have been on SCOTUS and should be removed immediately.
ReplyDeleteHe is sorely misguided. I suspect that sooner, rather than later, Thomas will be gone.
DeleteClarence has been compromised by this rich white ass and that rich white ass wife of his; he needs to be removed from the court.
ReplyDeleteIn total agreement.
DeleteI agree with you on giving customers time to think about their possible orders. I would hate to be called the next day - so much so that it might be what made me back out of the sale!
ReplyDeleteI tried telling him that to no avail.
DeleteWhat a shame watching the collapse of the Supreme Court. I don't know how this country will ever trust the court on anything again. I never seen such Scandal and Chaos surrounding the Supreme Court my lifetime. And they're supposed to be bipartisan.
ReplyDeleteIt will take time after we clean house.
DeleteLove the picture of Biggie. I was listening to a podcast that was excited about Ari Aster's upcoming film "Beau is Afraid." But after listening to them and watching the "Beau" trailer, I am pretty sure I am with Biggie when it comes to Ari Aster films. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm with on the Aster films. Biggie last another four or five minutes and then went to sleep. As for Hereditary, Aster evidently believes he made a different film other than the one I watched.
