No For Real, Who's In There??

Soooo Wednesday I got an email to a free preview of the movie "How Do You Know'.  I had seen the previews, wasn't too terribly excited by it, but it had some actors in it I really liked.  Plus it's a Wednesday night and its free.  So I invite my bud Tiffani Nicole and we had over to Easton.  So the movie doesn't come out until Friday, so of course there were some security precautions because they didn't want anyone recording the movie.  UMMMMMMM WTF?! This was level 5, super security, Jack Bauer type of security!  I have had the honor of seeing Barack Obama in person, 3rd row mind you, and there wasn't this type of security for the leader of the free world!!  They checked our purses for cellphones, wanded us, etc. Are you serious right now?? You are aware that this bootleg is currently on sale at the Weber St Market for 5 dollars correct?? Anyway I got in with both my cellphone and digital camera.....

So you would think with all this top flight security, this movie would be the best thing since sliced bread right?? UMMM NEGATIVE.  I honestly think that was the worst movie I have ever seen. Real talk.  The script was deplorable, the acting was mediocre at best, and I heard the movie costs 120 million alone to make.  Why couldn't I have gotten passes for Tron Legacy??

Anyway, Tiffani and I didn't even make it thru the movie.  We left half-way thru.  I really wanted to like the movie, and I gave it a chance, but I felt like it was draining my energy. So we left, and I walked out and had a voicemail with a job offer for this awesome opportunity in Portland. I was really excited.  Felt like all the interviews and applications had finally paid off.  So Thursday morning I got another phone call with all the details. And it went downhill from there....

So the pay was excellent but the relocation package was minimal at best.  They were offering a lump sum payment of $2500 to relocate over 2500 miles.  And this lump sum she was unsure if this would be paid upfront and would be taxed! So maybe it would be about ohhh $2000.  So she said she needed to know my decision by the next day.  So I sit down and start crunching numbers. $1800 for a U-Haul,  more for gas and boxes, $400 for a round trip ticket to find an apartment, hotel stay, $1400 for first and lasts month's rent and a whole slew of expenses I probably hadn't even thought of.  So pretty much they expected me to use my good looks and charm to hitch hike across the country, cus that's the only way I was gonna afford it.  I emailed her and raised my concerns, and her response pretty much was that the company doesn't usually offer relocation at all, so I should be happy they're offering what they are. Hmmmm interesting. Anyway needless to say, I was disappointed. But at least I know I'm hirable right??

Anyway, Christmas shopping done, all online, cus I aint got time for these fools.....
