The Way of Lemmings...

Well, the first week of work was difficult. I feel as if I am moving at half-speed or something and so many changes in policies that I need to learn! ...And I start to fall over after the first of my 3 hours. Then I drag for the last 2 --- and nearly fall asleep at therapy. I then sleep for 3 hours once I get home. They tell me that this will pass. Next week I am to start working out. They wanted me to start this week, but I am just too tired.

However, I do not care to write about work or my therapy appointments. I want to write about the odd behavior of fellow film-goers. Why is it that people feel the need to sit by other people? Why do they gather round me as if I am some pied piper?!?!? ...blocking my view and annoying me with stupid conversations and cell phone calls? I move to the far right of the auditorium and before you can say "Showtime" --- 4 other folks have gathered round me. It is a large cinema and this is not a sold out show. There are plenty of seats with lots of room. I wonder if I walk past the first row and sit on the floor if some creepy dude will follow me and do the same. ...right by me.

It is a test I do not care to pursue. I wait till the "Feature Presentation" song comes up and move to the back of the theatre with plenty of space. I settle in with my popcorn and soda ---- at last I am ready to watch Goldie Hawn, uh -- I mean Kate Hudson romp around Paris and an elderly couple sit right next to me. They can't hear the movie and repeat lines to each other. I hate them. Am I the only one to whom this happens? Am I the only one who finds it odd?
