So far in my big day of just watching movies, I've knocked down ... one and a half.

Fled at 3:45 and made the BAM screening of Michael Ritchie's Smile. "Only if Florence Henderson dies."

Now should probably find out when dinner is tom'w.

Just wrapped movie #3, heading out for #4. The day certainly got on track, belatedly.

one year passes...

Another year, another Wednesday of NOTHING. (Oddly enough my initial post still applies even though I'm in a different library -- we're normally at four staff and today counting me it's two.)

woke up, wrote a thing about okkervil river, wrote a thing about grimes, now going to work out and pick up a shipment of soda and a shipment of bottled water and a shipment of candy and go down to the theater and cook the chili and cook the curry and go to the bank to replenish the petty cash and load the drive with whatever this weekend's movie is into the RAID and make cranberry sauce and buy weed. hoping for a very relaxing tomorrow.

My office closes in ~55 minutes. Currently flipping around between ILX, Twitter and Facebook and creating banner ads for deployment in December/early 2016.

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 25 November 2015 21:31 (eight years ago) link

I've done the one actual task that there was to do, and even that was more personal than work-related. Everything else I could have done that WAS work-related I did...yesterday. 2 1/2 hours to go.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 21:47 (eight years ago) link

There's one person here quietly working away at a computer. Think I'm going to fire up an old MST3K episode to pass the time.

You could always strut, pout, put it out. That's what you want from grandma.

btw when i got to the famous barber mill, my guy's station was cleaned out; photos of Italy on the mirror, gone (he's likely in his 70s). I didn't have the heart to ask if he retired or what, so i left w/out a haircut.
