Juno makes me want to work harder. Weird.

| | Comments (4)

Just came back from watching Juno, that new film starring Ellen Page, and co-starring one of my favorites actors, Allison Janney.  You may remember Ellen Page in her seminal role as Kitty Pryde (aka Shadowcat) in the last two of the X-Men movies.

Anyway, my takeaway from the movie is that it's okay to be a little strange and a little goofy and a little difficult, and that you can absolutely feel comfortable in your own skin.

Strangely, and I said this to Boyfriend in the parking lot afterwards, sucking down some emotion via an Ultra Light, Juno made me want to work more at being the best possible employee at Wharton Computing.

Is that a sign to start saving for the $100,000 therapy bill?  Am I crazy for actually loving my job so much that I feel motivated by a movie about teenage pregnancy?

Both of those are rhetorical, people.  Don't make me shut off comments!

Hmm - sounds like a good pick for a Core Systems movie outing... ;-)

Joe, loved the movie too, but I guess I only came out humming the music. Some day you'll have to explain to me the connection....

Alec, that's why's it's weird! I don't quite get the connection, myself. The brain just works in mysterious ways. Just don't be surprised if I show up at work next week with a mohawk.

At least a mohawk is transient. I'd advise against a huge Juno tattoo or something--that would be one doodle that couldn't be undid. :=)
