Argh. I’ve been awake for almost 2 hours now. It’s 4:48am. The hour from 3:30am till 4:30am went amazingly fast actually, considering I was wide awake the entire time. I’ve been awake so long that I’m really hungry, and there’s no way I can sleep till I have eaten. So here I am, blogging and having breakfast at 4:48am. With the intention of getting back to sleep and then doing this all again at a reasonable hour…. say, 11am. I don’t know why I’m having so much trouble sleeping. First I was kinda thinking about work, and then dreaming about work. Then weird noises woke me up once, but I got back to sleep, then they woke me up again, and I haven’t slept since. Ugh.

I went to the movies last night and saw Juno. It was such an awesome movie! I could have paid for another ticket right then and there and gone back in to watch it again. If that’s not a recommendation, I don’t know what is. Unfortunately it was the last showing for the night, so I couldn’t do that, but I’m totally going again. And I’m totally going to a different movie theatre too.

Remember this dilemma? They tried it on again when we purchased our tickets. Seeing as roommate owed me a movie from the last time, she paid the whole bill this time and they tried to say again that that was one visit and we only got one stamp between us towards our free movie. If we’d paid separately, which we were allowed to do this time because we didn’t book online, we would have got two stamps. The ticket seller was a bit smarter this time at least, and just stamped both damn cards anyways. Then she had to reissue our tickets and swipe my loyalty card at the right time, because once again, my card was right there but they didn’t take it. Not that there is any loyalty left now. Once I get the third damn stamp on my card and get the free movie that has been such a bitch to get (there’s no way I’m giving up now, I’m gonna win this damn fight), I’m finding another theatre.

Seriously, what part of ‘every ticket purchase‘ and ‘per person’ suggests that if only one financial transaction occurs, you only get one stamp? Even if you buy like 20 tickets? So I’m ringing around some other theatres in the chain to find out what their interpretation is later today. Then I’m writing a letter to the manager to complain about their staff and get clarification on the rules. And I’m going to copy it to the Commerce Commission here to get their spin on the whole ticket purchase thing. It is so not right that a family of five who pay in one transaction get one stamp while a group of 5 friends paying separately would get a stamp each. That is just plain stupid. The rules are ‘per person’ or ‘per ticket’. No matter how the actual money changes hand for that ticket, every.ticket.counts.

Anyway… I’m gonna head back to bed with a book and attempt to read my way back to sleep. I’m tempted to take a sleeping pill. But it’s so late now. 5:15am. I don’t really want to sleep till lunchtime, I have things to do. Like bitch and complain And finish furnishing my house! Pic’s to come soon….
