Happy Feet 2 was awesome. My theatre, however, screwed the night up for me. It was "cheap Tuesday", when tickets are half price, and since it's four days from payday and I've already spent way too much money, I thought why not go see the movie on this night, so I could save a little. I went with my roommate and her little sister - when we got to the box office I handed over my cash happily, knowing it was going to be cheap. However, the ticket booth guy very snidely requested an extra $3 as a "3D film surcharge"...to "pay for the cost of the glasses per patron" or some such bullshit. No. HELL NO. You advertise "cheap Tuesday" and then bring the price back up to the price of a regular ticket anyway, to "cover the cost of 3D glasses"?! Apparently, the price was "up on the website" and he also, rudely, pointed to a little piece of paper taped to the window of the box office, which displayed the change in price. Of course, when I look up showtimes, it doesn't take me to the theatre company's website. It just gives me the showtimes for the movies playing. I couldn't help but think it was a bit ridiculous. Anyway, that kind of put a damper on the movie for me. It was really quite stupid.

Work is getting better and better. I'm really enjoying getting to know our regular clients and creating relationships with the ones that come in so frequently that everyone knows them anyway. It's my favourite aspect of the job. I'm also learning so much, making a ton of notes, and bettering myself every day. The more I learn, the more I can help the people who ask me questions. And I'm doing okay with euthanasia clients too. I'm definitely getting better at talking to people about it, and expressing condolences to them. It's hardest when the people actually come in for the appointments. It's hard to know what to say to people, without tripping over myself or my words. Argh. It doesn't help that it's such a delicate situation for everyone involved.
