(no subject)
Sorry I've been so quiet this week. I've had a lot going on at least mentally so I've been pretty distracted and unable to post. So, here's what's been going on in my life since we last spoke.
Work sucks dog ass. It's bad enough they've cut my hours down to the bone (8 hours this week, 5 next) but on Thursday they threw me for a loop. They scheduled a 3 hour session of mandatory training for today even though I have clearly informed them that I cannot work today. My boss tried bullying me about it but I stood firm and will not be treated this way. I'm going to makeup the training at another office (which I am allowed to do) and they'll just have to live with that. It's not my fault that he won't schedule more than one training session so he can just get over it.
On Wednesday night I saw a sneak preview of the new movie, "Shutter Island". I'll post the link to my review later because I'm still working on it (since the movie itself was delayed over a year, it's kind of appropriate that I'm a bit slow on my part). Suffice it to say that it's a really good film, Decaprio's performance is layered and impressive, the special effects are excellent but the ending is not satisfying. However, you should really hold off on seeing it until it comes out on DVD because you're going to want to watching it a couple of times to fully enjoy the subtleties of the story.
Yesterday, beldar & I went out on a networking lunch to Maxine's Chicken and Waffles". It was really amazing. So much so that I joined beldar in ordering the signature dish. I don't normally enjoy fried chicken but theirs is superb plus the sweet potato waffle topped with peach butter was beyond belief (they also have blueberry & strawberry options). Here's a fellow diner's pic of it:
So that's what's going on in my life. I hope yours is doing well. I will do my best to talk to you more often.
TTFN!
