The price of working my ass off to get this full-time job:

[apocalypsos]

1. I haven't written a damn thing all month.
2. I took every bit of overtime they'd give me since I started and haven't had a day off in three weeks ...
3. ... and won't have one for another week, since I still have overtime this weekend ...
4. ... which means I won't get to watch all of the Oscar-nominated movies before the awards on Sunday like I wanted to this year. *sigh*

However, JOB. \o/

The depressing thing is that I now know damn well that today will be the last day the majority of the temps will be working there. It's going to be ridiculously uncomfortable, let me tell you, and for added fun I have to run and take a drug test sometime today. Which may end up being a bit of a plus for me in terms of getting a day off, because if they don't get the results by Monday I'll have to wait to come in to work.

Also, I missed the AI results show last night, but I caught the results from the internet, so:

Joe: Aw. He suffered from the show not giving him much exposure previously, I think, because I thought he did much better than Tim. Ugh.
Tyler: Damn. I had a bit of a crush on him just for his personality, although I'm not sure I can argue the results. His performance was weak.
Janell: Meh. Her and her flowy shirts did nothing for me, really, but I really wish Paige had gone in her place.
Ashley: Wasn't Jacob at TWoP all, "Yay, A-Rod!" about her? Maybe that's why I loathed her and am glad to see her go.

I'm willing to give these idiots a week to get over their first-time-live-on-national-TV stage fright, but they'd better clean up their acts, seriously. This week was such a bomb.

I noticed when watching that none of them had earpieces in - I have to believe that none of them could hear themselves and that's why they ALL sucked to varying degrees.

This may be true. I was wondering if this was the case, because some of the pitchiness was in shifting-up/down and runs, and if you can't hear yourself that's especially where it's going to happen.

I agree pretty much entirely on your AI recap here - both on the week as ...weak, and your feelings about the contestants.

I wish they'd given Janell a chance to figure out what song she should be singing, because although she was a little weak and pitchy on "What about Love" she had good presence, and dammit, it's "What About Love", which I think all of them would have fucked up one way or another.

Ashley reminded me of a bitchy girl from high school. Not personally - just, that vibe. And I too crushed on Tyler a bit but he was a little...cover band? IDK.
