The weekend, Harry Potter, and more work
As I said before, there is a trick to being in multiple places at once. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. Today, I was caught in a little internal battle between three managers, all of whom wanted me to be at their dealership at the same time. With my boss in staff meetings for most of the morning, I was left to my own decisions as how best to handle the situation. In the end, I decided to visit the dealership that I hadn’t been able to get to at all last week. This, of course, led the other two managers to leave messages with my boss about my lack of integrity and such. Knowing that shit (And apparently water and soap, now) flows downhill, it was only expected that I would be lectured on the whole situation. As it turns out, I was right. While it wasn't really my fault that I was unable to be in three places at once, someone had to take the blame. My boss wasn't willing to do that, as he'd get hit harder should the president of the company hear about all of the drama. So in the end, I was asked to work a little harder (With the understanding that his lecture to me was only a formality to please the three managers.) Other than that, things went relatively well.
This past weekend was fun. Vu1pes and I had Toracub come up to visit. The weekend was spent relaxing and just hanging out at the house with the exception of Friday evening, when we went to see the new Harry Potter movie. To avoid giving anything away to those who have not seen it/read the book/etc., I'll just say that I was rather pleased with it. The effects are getting better, some of the combat scenes were done excellently, and they didn't leave too much out that needed to be explained. Even the choice of actors on the new characters was great. The only thing I could have wished for is for the film to have been a little darker. It felt a good deal less intense than the book, and was lacking a little during some of the later scenes. In all, however, it's a great film and a tribute to the series.
