Cube Drama

Hi lady in the office next to my cubicle. I had my headphones on as you walked by, so I didn't hear or see you come in at 10:30 (we work in the same office but I don't think I can get a cush schedule like that). However, that's not to say I didn't notice you.

Please don't wear so much perfume that the only way I know that you've come into the office is due to your odor. It distracts me to the point where I write a meaningless post like this, and nobody likes that.

Fandango

Ok, so I admit that I am a bit of a nerd sometimes. I try my best to hide it from people, and I never really read comics growing up, but that's nothing a little wikipedia can't fix for me.

So of course, with the release of Iron Man 2, I had to round up my friends and catch the midnight showing. As I was going through the confirmation for my tickets, I was reminded that this was a late showing - except the note confused me, which seems to be counter to its objective.

The movie is released on May 6, which is a Thursday. The showing is for 12:01 AM on Thursday. If you remember back to your elementary school days, you'll know that AM is Latin for before noon and PM is after noon. So the show time 12:01 AM (remember - that's before noon!), which is 1 minute into Thursday, meaning I will have to go out late on Wednesday night to catch the show.

The note, however, tries to convince me that the show is actually late on Thursday night and early Friday morning.

Nice try Fandango, but I'm going to be there at 12:01 AM on Thursday despite your best efforts!
