Laura and I stopped off at Blockbuster this evening to buy cheap movies. It’s not so good on the pocketbook but excellent for increasing one’s movie collection.
I picked up a previously viewed version of the metal-box Extended Edition of David Lynch’s Dune. Interestingly though, he has taken his name off this release because he dislikes [...]

I finished Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code today and it was pretty cool. The first reaction is to compare it to Angels and Demons. Is one better than the other? Not really. They’re both good for what they are and they’re both entertaining. They’re both fast-paced and full of puzzles but while ‘Demons focused more [...]

Took a sick day today. When I was talking to the #2 of the company at the end of the day yesterday, he asked me how my day had gone and I told him it was alright but I was coming down with something and feeling pretty crappy. He told me that I should just [...]

Mel Gibson Drinks Here
    -Big sign outside Ethel’s Lounge
This morning, me and a team of others from work went into an elementary school to inventory the furniture in there. The local public school board has contracted my company to do an inventory of all their schools (excluding high schools). So 97 schools. Today was our test [...]

Shawn: [This girl] mentioned something last night about knowing some attractive guys, but being totally uninterested in them physically because they were friends and it might ruin the friendship. why do girls always think like that?
Yeah, fucking girls. That whole “oh but it would ruin our friendship!” WTF ever. You know how stable girl friendships [...]

I was having trouble booking a freight company to take our current load at work out west on Friday because we’re behind in payments to all the companies I usually work with. Then, one of the local shipping companies called me to find out who is in charge of accounts payable because we’re behind in [...]

She’s British because I like it that way
    -Mike, about his GPS’ voice
Laura and I got up early this morning (early for me, not for her) and organized everyone for brunch this morning while we’re all in town. It was very enjoyable.

I find it amusing that Friday night at the Bentley’s house, Matt surrounded himself with [...]

Stephen: I don’t understand why people cry at these things.
Dennis: Because they have [room suddenly goes quiet] emotions!!
I really did just crash last night: I pulled a blanket over top of me from the back of the couch and fell over from a seated position to a lying one and suddenly it was 8am and [...]

Another person leaving the company. This time it’s the purchasing manager. He’s also the only one who speaks fluent French here. Super.
There was finally an official announcement made today: Yes, the company is in financial distress. Thanks, we all pretty much knew that. This was followed by severe layoffs, cutting the workforce down to 41 [...]

I really feel like an executive assistant when I go talk to my bosses. They’re always on the go, in meetings or just running around so it’s impossible to track them down. Because of this, when I do catch them, I’ve usually got a highly organized list of things to ask them, with all the [...]
