Thought I had to go to "work," but I didn't, and yet I got paid because my boss said she screwed up. I got paid for nothing, but I have nothing to do for two hours.
Well, I now have time for a movie. But should I make sure I just get the tickets the games tonight now? They'll be open till 5. What if there's a line? Oh well, I thought, I need the walking. So I go from my "job" to the ticket office, then my car. It took a good 40 minutes.
When driving to the shopping mall about 10 minutes away, it was 2. First game starts at 5. I do want to get there a little early, and I don't want to pay for parking, so I have to shut off my car at ... 4? What movies are out there that are only two hours long -- and starts a little after 2? There was absolutely no way I could get to a movie after deciding to pick up my tickets now rather than just before the game. Why did I even think I could?
Went immediately to the theater after reaching the mall, which is on the very other end of where I parked. I wanted to see what I could've seen if I decided to head straight the movies. They have those electronic signs that update after it's too late to see the previous screening, fucking technology. So I went to the Apple store and looked it up instead. If I got here a bit before 2 -- possible -- I could have seen The Fantastic Mr. Fox or The Princess And The Frog, both animated movies that critics say are really good.
Dammit, I made the wrong choice. The only positive I can take from this is that I didn't spend $6.50.
