(no subject)

I'm victim of the worst case of 'don't-wanna-work' ever. And it's not even 10.00AM (11.AM now). It's not even my fault, I was in a good mood this morning - it's Friday, I'm always in a good mood on Fridays - except I came to work, opened my mails and it was all problems piling up and urgent matters and none of the persons I need to talk to to fix said problems are available. Today is going to be one of those days, I just know it *sigh*

Also, I went and signed my new contract for the upcoming year yesterday - meaning I'm officially re-employed at the uni til June 2010 - and turns out they apparently screwed up and I might not get my June salary before... well, I have no idea when they'll pay me, the fuckers. That's exactly what happened last year when I was paid a long time after I actually started and it's pissing me off so much that they're apparently about to do the same mistake again.

Anyway, let's take a deep breath. We're trying to solve that problem so it might get fixed soon *fingers crossed*

Changing the subject. I went to see Terminator: Salvation yesterday with Cookie and I loved it. I mean, yes, it's pure action flick but I thought it was good action flick - meaning you just have to ignore all the plot holes. I was ready to enjoy Connor and Kyle, and I did, but the character who totally stole my heart was Marcus. Oh, Marcus! Wow. You sorta eclipsed everyone else. And, ok, slight exaggeration because I did love Connor and Kyle - Anton Yelchin is never not the cutest thing and he was so intense and brave and all, you go Anton! - and Blair but maybe not that slight exaggeration because, you know, Marcus! I finally get why so many people were gushing over his character :-) Cookie's self-appointed mission today - and I might have pushed her a little too - is to go and find the Connor/Marcus community that has to exist somewhere on LJ.

We watched Transformers when we got back so that we're both ready when Transformers 2 comes out next week and, wow, I'd totally forgotten how funny and utterly crackastic the film was!

Ok, now, posting this and hoping work!things will improve by the hour *fingers crossed*

I loved Marcus Wright too! He totally made the movie for me.

I hope you get paid!

He was such a wonderful surprise! I have so much love for those characters that were supposed to be sort of secondary characters but end up being the ones that made the film for you.

It was the same thing with Watchmen. I was ready to love JDM's performance - which I so did - but I never expected to completely fall in love with Rorschach. He was The One for me :-)

I found one comm' with the boys!! MSN... lol

Kinda weird replying to this so long after the fact but thanks lol

[greedy_dancer]

Yay for signing! Booo to not getting paid.

Hope the afternoon is going better than this morning!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yay and boo, indeed! I'm hoping the mess was sorted out *fingers crossed* They can say whatever they want, I'll believe when I have the money in the bank account.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

I can they mess up your pay again?! It's not like you're a new employee or anything! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Transformers is on my To-Do list for this weekend - if all goes well, I'll go see it next week as well *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

They do it all the time! They messed up three of my co-workers's contracts the same way too. It's pretty insane. I can't believe how some people work, I swear.

Don't know when I'll see it, maybe next week :-)

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

And before, I met "I can't believe" - what's with me and forgetting half my words lately? *shakes head in disbelief*

Oh so it's not just you. Lovelyyyy... Speaking of screw-ups, at work, since we work in a "second language" (French), we get a little extra money for that (about 120$ a month). Screw up from the HR department: they forgot to pay it to one of my coworkers. For 10 years. She's going to receive a really good check this summer! (glad they found out about it)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm just flabbergasted, dude! Some people are so incredibly incompetent that we'd need a whole new language to express it!

[witchy78.livejournal.com]

Just two words : work sucks ;o))

I still have to watch terminator. I think Christian Bales fits the character perfectly ;o)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

In this particular case, it's more the HR people who suck lol

He does fit the character perfectly. And I think Marcus fits him pretty well too :-p

I just want to take Anton Yelchin's Kyle Reese home and keep him safe from all of the things that go bump in the night. *pets* He was good and adorable. ;p

Did the day pick up in the end?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I think Anton Yelchin is the kind of boy who just provokes that kind of reaction *nods*

Work is still crazy but at least we manage to solve problems every day so I count that as a win :-)

Pour moi, c'est Kyle qui vole la vedette à tout le monde (Anton !), mais Marcus n'est pas loin derrière. <3

La comm sur ces deux-là, c'est kylemarcus, et LA fic à lire absolument et que je passe mon temps à recommander à tout le monde *not obsessed*, c'est No Fate. ♥♥♥

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Kyle était génial, c'est clair. Mais je m'y attendais, je pense. Marcus, par contre, ça a été la grande surprise du film. J'adore quand un personnage te prend par surprise comme ça ♥ ♥

Je suis plutôt intéressée par John/Marcus, en fait, mais merci quand même :-)

I just found terminatorfic yesterday, and though I haven't had time to go through it (their tags aren't that helpful :( ), I did do a bit of scrolling and saw connor_wright, which I also have yet to check out. But yes, Marcus! *loves*

There's also kylemarcus, for those wanting that pairing. *g*

(Edited because I apparently can't read. *g*)

What with RL and CL and the Big Bangs and all I just have no idea when I'll even start going through the T4 fics but at least I'll know where to start, thanks a lot!
