Stressful Day, Stressful Week

I started out today in an awesome mood, as usual. Went to class at 9:30, lunch at 12, and work at 12:30. Work was good, but busy. I like it busy, because its more interesting even though it can sometimes get stressful. Around 4ish, I was starting to realize that I was getting a bit anxious. I took a call, and was answering some questions about financial aid. Apparently, I did not answer someone's question with the answer they wanted, because at one point, she blurted out "no, you aren't understanding what I am saying." At that point, I kind of locked up, because I was literally answering the question as I understood it. I guess she wasn't being clear enough. 


So, my coworker took that call for me.


At dinner, I got an email from AMC, telling me that they are discontinuing the moviewatcher program, and replacing it with something "better." No. They aren't.


Now, instead of getting a reward (free popcorn, drink, or ticket) every ten points (two points per movie), I get a $10 credit every time I spend $100.
Here's why this sucks:

  • Concession purchases now count towards the $100: I do not buy the concessions
  • The only reason i get the popcorn and drinks is because its free, and I almost always have a free one
  • I see matinee shows, and pay only $6 for a ticket, so It will take ages to reach $100
  • They are eliminating free popcorn Wednesdays, and replacing it with a free upgrade to the next size popcorn/drink. Again, I don't care for this because I wouldn't buy it in the first place. 
Thats it. Oh, and to top it off, they are going to charge $12 a year for this program! $12 a year? Sure, I'll keep my card because you're giving me the first year free, but I'd never pay for this. It makes no sense.
Screw that, AMC
Good luck with your new "Stubs" program. 

I have a midterm tomorrow in Relational Databases, a revised essay due Friday, and a bunch of other work to do. Not to mention I have to plan my schedule for Friday afternoon in relation to my trip home. 

I'm aggravated.

Oh, and Facebook keeps sending random notifications to my phone. Not all, just some. I have notifications completely disabled. What's up with that?
