Superman Returns, and so did a bitchy client
Superman Returns... was an awesome movie. It kept the feeling of the old superman movies, way more comedy moments than I expected. Kevin Spacey was an amazing Lex Luthor, and the newcomer playing Superman himself did fairly well, and he SOUNDS so much like Christopher Reeves its not funny. Just a few small problems with the film, but nothing that makes me not want to see it again.
Now, onto a funny story...
I was on the receptionist desk Tuesday for work, I work in child support for those that don't know, and every 3 days I take a turn in the morning for an hour till the fulltime receptionist comes in. Anyway, had a lady walk in with her child, as she's signing in, I ask her what shes there for. She says, DNA testing. I immediately reply, we do those on Wednesday. Do you have your paperwork? She says she left it at home. (of course) But that her appointment was for the 27th, not the 28th, and why would it be scheduled... blah blah.. Well, I haven't even gotten her photo id, so I have no idea her case number, but I also offer her to see her case worker anyways, in case something else needed to be discussed. She said no, crossed off her name and walked out. Well I didn't think it was that big of a deal till yesterday when she came back.
She came in, told the lady on the desk that she was there for DNA, and then handed over the paperwork. Well, it seems her appointment was indeed for yesterday because it was NOT a DNA appointment. (go figure) and she should have stayed and seen her case worker. Well, the lady was not very happy having come from a considerable distance (probably 30 min drive). But, she saw the worker that day. See, she wanted DNA because she had a small problem. She was married, so her child was legally her husband's, but in reality, she KNEW it was not her husband's child, so she had to get DNA to exclude him so she could go after the right guy. We don't sort that out, the court does, and she'd have known that on Tuesday if she had stayed.
People can be really stupid sometimes. There's a phone number she could have called for questions, or she could have just stayed after she drove yesterday... I'd sure have stayed.
