cmk418Today went better. I got a bit done. I just have to do the babysitting thing at work so that the rest of the staff can prioritize. I had cut them some slack and just focused on my own stuff this month, but since I spent today finishing work that they should have done, which in some cases was over a month old, more supervision is in order.
There is one guy, an independent contractor, that comes in to the office. Decent guy, but he's far too honest to do the job that he's doing. I'm not slamming honesty, mind you, just that sometimes, in order to do the job, or present the illusion that you are doing the job sufficiently, sometimes a little spin is in order. This is one of those cases where the job has tweaked my own personal morality a bit, but the system allows for it, so my job is basically to protect my boss and the office and make sure all the little loopholes are hit beforehand. Now I get more upset when people stupidly lie or make it so blatantly obvious that anybody could catch it. I still am too honest for this job in a lot of ways - sometimes my boss hates me being upfront with the clients but it's easy for me to say what I know happened because that's what I can cover.
I did a silly thing today and left my keys at work. Lucky for me, my boss was still there, so he was nice enough to bring them to me. It was one of those things that had to happen sometime.
Today as I was flipping all of my calendars in the apartment to August, I thought of my sister. Several years ago, tired of my bitching that August was the crappiest month of the year in any calendar (seriously, look - the weakest picture is always in August), she took it upon herself to make me a calendar for Christmas. It was of different movies (my passion) and August had pictures of all of my favorite movies. Many years since, August is traditionally Soderbergh month (my inspiration for film) and we've gone from movies to Oscars to this year's calendar which is sequels - thank God for Ocean's 12! The other recurring theme is that "The Godfather", the greatest Christmas movie ever, is in December. The only year that the calendar varied was last year where it featured the Lord of the Rings trilogy - August, being Faramir and Eowyn month respectively. Maybe I could try to suck her in to the wonders of "Oz" that way. Could be a thought.
So now we're on to a new challenge on the HT100 board. I think it's going to be either Metzger or Alvarez-centered. It'll be quite exciting either way. That Metzger scene is an all time classic, more beautiful if you've been away for a while and have forgotten all about it. Finishing up with "Oz", today's quote -
God comes to visit me every one in a while, actually he comes more often than I'd like. But he's God. What can I say? That I'm busy, that I'm in the shower... He knows.-Rebadow
