Movie with the Geeks

Today is the second Saturday after I have started working. Last Saturday, I planned to write this blog, which I am writing today. *meaningful expression* I guess I am just too lazy (or I was really busy? Latter one, it makes me appear more impressive) to post this one. Anyway, so when the first four days of my job ended, I heard my office was planning a movie screening.
So the party management committee (yes, an office of 30-35 people has one) planned that we should go for Transformers 3, at Atrium cinema in 3D. I was not excited. I have stopped watching movies, but I felt like going for two superficial reasons. First one, it was my first week, and whatever I did, will be seen as permanent; if I chose to not go, then I could have been considered a boring person and not invited to further outings etc. The things is, I wanted to be in the 'in' crowd. Not among those people who just come and work and are boring. I wanted to make myself known. I couldn't suppress the desire to say, I exist! Secondly, I myself wanted to socialize. To know people, to see who was what kind, learn their names, make some jokes. Though I wasn't getting that at the movie, I was definitely gonna get that that at the dinner after the movie.
Also, everything was free. A 3D movie screening with glasses and popcorn and a dinner, it was all free. I went.
I can't say I enjoyed the movie. I am happy I didn't miss the maghrib, which occured during the movie, thanks to some colleagues who were going to pray, and thanks to my beard, because of which they asked me to come along. SubhanAllah! I can't say I enjoyed the movie cause I got so bored during it, that I slept. I slept during the movie, well not through the entire movie. But to some parts. Reasons were many, I realized I had grown out of lame movies, the didn't have any realism to it, the action effects defied physical reality, the plot was shit boring, the hero seemed like a looser, the dialogues were ridiculous sexual puns, the 3D was abused... or perhaps the actual reason was that I had been in  front of a screen All day?
and my eyes were too tired for any more shit? I don't know.

Anyway, the movie ended, and on our way to Food Center, the supervisor asked (all guys who were sitting in his car were from Research team) how could that guy break a 128-bit encryption in 2 seconds! That Is All They Had To Talk About After The Movie! Those Geeks! and then from there onward, that's what the 'Research Team' talked about. About breaking 128-bit encryption quickly. I was almost expecting him to assign me that task!

Anyway, I loved the talk. I loved how my izzat was once again saved (nobody had known about my illiteracy) and I loved the food and loved the gelling together with all.

Thumbs up!
