Today was a bad luck sort of day so I opted for a picture of two of my favorite things. Bunnies and Gromit. When I went and saw Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit in theaters (that's right...you heard me), I literally exclaimed "bunnies!" when the rabbits first appeared. Love the bunnies.
Here was my day:
Delayed at post office so opted to not fill up my car so I wouldn't be late to work.
Stuck behind slo-mo driver so I zigged when I normally zag and I got stopped by a train for about 8 min.
While driving to work noticed that gas had gone up from the $2.99 where I live to $3.19. FUCK ME!! Praying will not get shafted by pricing at home.
Arrive at work about 5 or so minutes late and discover a series of sheets on my desk that need to be completed by noon. It is 11:05-ish at this point. These sheets are a part of our loss prevention self audit which is done every quarter. We know we have to do them. Someone in the building knows when they are due. Almost everytime, the sheets don't get handed out till the day they are due even though we've had around 3 months to complete these freakin' things. I opt to fake my way through it somewhat as I feel the following--1) I really don't care and 2) it would normally take a couple of hours to complete it and I've got less than one so I'm not checking every tiny detail. The form finally changed this time around. Last quarter it had a question on it referring to a task that is no longer being done as of last June. We are so on top of things in this company! One question was completely foreign to me as I didn't even recognize what the form in question was and where it could be found.
Thought I'd be leaving around 3pm because we were only getting in 52 boxes. Sent Jinn home around 12:30. Got a call around 1:40 saying our truck broke down and they have no idea when it will be arriving. It got in around 4:45. I don't blame our driver at all. It just sucks that I'd gotten all excited about heading out with a half day. Instead, I left around 5:30 or so and atleast got home in time for Ugly Betty.
Only other bright spot, found a gas station on the way home that was still at $2.99. Whew.
WATCH IT:
Lost--FINALLY! Holy snot last night's episode rocked. I can say that I guessed it was going to be Sawyer offing John's dad last week. I have a witness. Josh H's acting was possibly the best I've seen this year. The look on his face when John told him he knew about his parents was heartbreaking. Whoosh.
The Road To Guantanamo--a docu-drama about 3 British guys originally who sort of stumbled into Afghanistan only to be picked up and labeled Talaban (sp) then end up spending around 3 years in Guantanamo. The real life guys do interviews which lead into actors portraying them and what happened to them. Not one of the USA's prouder moments, but compelling viewing.
LISTEN TO IT:
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club--Need Some Air from Baby 81. The cd just came out and this was a stand-out track. The band has gone from Jesus and Mary Chain-ish rock to something more alt-country and now to blues influenced rock. Love them no matter what they are doing.
