It's been a long couple or so weeks at work. I have finally caught up with the projects that belonged to the assistant who was gone for almost a week and a half because of her babysitter issues. She hasn't said word one to me about them by the way. I am in the middle of selecting VAV boxes for a hospital we got. I'm on 110 of 203. It takes me about 2 hours to do 50 of them.
In the midst of all that, Disney was upset that myself, the front office lady and a woman from the service department went to lunch one day without asking her. Now, she leaves half an hour early everyday so asking her to go to lunch would mean she would have to make up the time somewhere. I just always assume that she can't go because she has to work through half her lunch to leave at 4:30. Anyway, apparently we hurt her feelings. She wouldn't talk to the front office lady for almost two days. Finally Front Office had had enough so she called Disney on it. Disney told her she just wanted us to all get along and be friends...blah, blah, blah.
Thus, Hands Across The Office was born. Okay, only I called it that, but none the less all the office chicks went out to lunch that Friday. Most of the conversation was dominated by the four of them talking about their children. Whee. Disney thinks we should do this once a month. Ack. Can't wait.
Here's some super fast movie reviews:
Paranormal Activity: B+ It would have been a bit higher had there not been a problem during the screening of the film. Right at the first really big shock moment the "slide show" that normally comes up in between films started flashing on the screen. It broke all the tension that had been built up so the big finale wasn't quite as big as I think it would have been.
Where The Wild Things Are: A Everything about this is great. It's visually amazing, the acting is spot on (especially the young actor who plays Max) and I even enjoyed Karen O's music.
Men Who Stare At Goats: B+ I enjoyed this a bunch. Clooney is fabulous and it's always good when Ewan McGregor is around. Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey are great in showing two sides of loony. It's hard to make the transition from a non-fiction book to a fictional movie, but for the most part things work.
Today, it's Pirate Radio...or as it was called when it came out months ago in Britain, The Boat That Rocked. Looking forward to seeing Nick Frost (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz) and Chris O'Dowd (The IT Crowd).
Now, off to the bank, the post office, Christmas shopping and a movie. Whew.
OH, almost forgot. I need more single friends. I got tickets for Illinois vs. Ohio State basketball and was very excited. I completely ignored the fact that the game is on Valentine's Day. My thinking was since Valentine's Day is on a Sunday then most people would go out Sat. night and their Sunday would be open. Apparently, this is not the case. Shows you how often I "celebrate" Valentine's Day. So, as of right now, I have one ticket looking for a ticket holder. Any takers?
