Dec. 6th, 2010 01:25 pmI really am doing shit today as my workload here at, well, work, is of seriously awesome proportions. It has gotten to the point where I am doing so much at once that pretty much everything is suffering. I even forgot to move a couple of files to production last Friday, which resulted in me being called at 9:30 pm that night and at 8:30 this morning. Not to mention the shit one of my co-workers gave me in a meeting earlier.
At least I have a job. I just keep telling myself that.
Other than the phone call to tell me I'm a bonehead my weekend went well. There was surfing the web, watching movies, reading and pretty much nothing else. It snowed Saturday and was wicked cold yesterday (even colder today) so I stayed in with the fire going. Never left the house, which for me is kind of weird because I almost always get stir crazy by Sunday afternoon and end up at the bookstore or something.
I watched both Death At A Funeral (the Chris Rock version) and The Losers. I definitely liked The Losers better. I've now seen both versions of DAAF and while I think the Chris Rock version was a bit funnier I had a really hard time seeing past the actors to the characters. Everyone in the movie is such a big actor/comedian - I wasn't seeing Aaron, I was seeing Chris Rock. The Losers, however, was just completely mindless shoot-em-up fun. Plus all the guys in it are seriously hot, making for some good eye candy. Yum.
I also finished The Girl Who Played With Fire late last week. Damn! I only kind of liked the first book, liked the movie version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo way better. But I really liked this second book. I'm anxious to see the movie version. I also really want to read the third book but it isn't out in paperback yet. I will be hitting my local HPB (Half Price Books) soon, probably this weekend, and I'll check if they have a copy but I'm not holding my breath. I might be better off just getting a copy at Borders, providing I have a good coupon of course.
Time to get back to work. A couple more meetings, then some desk time, then the gym. And tomorrow I do it all over again. *sigh*
