(no subject)
So this is a post exclusively about work, with some movie stuff thrown in:
- My boss left early on Thursday. He called our team assistant from the road and told her (in a very calm manner) to cancel his appointments for the day because he was having chest pains and was driving himself to the hospital. Apparently he's doing okay, they're just keeping an eye on him in hospital for now. I doubt I'll see him next week, hopefully he'll stay at home and relax (he's quite the workaholic).
- Our Perth office director brought his new baby boy into work this week.He's a couple of weeks old and 3.5kg at this point. As usual, the best way to eliminate productivity in an office is to bring a baby into work for everyone to crowd around and squee at.
- Got asked to go into work today to do some really urgent refiddling of some designs we'd previously completed. Not the worst thing in the world, plus it's amazing how productive you can be in an office when no-one's around. Also had a little chat to our director, topics included racism in Australia and Threadless (he owns the haiku shirt, among others). Speaking of which, my Threadless shirts came this week :)
- Recently watched "The Departed". Awesome film, all the actors are great in it, from the aggressive cops to the psychotic criminals. The various accents that come up in the film are good for a laugh as well.
- I'm also about halfway through "Malcolm X". It's well scripted and directed, but probably more melodramatic than it needs to be and obviously favouring Mr X's side of the story. It you don't want to watch the whole thing, at least watch the lindy hop style dance scene near the beginning of the film.
