It's Friday! I got to sleep in until 7! (I could have slept later, since Jess offered to be the one who got up today, but 7 is usually pretty good for me. I have to go over and see Dad today and then pick up my sister from the garage, where she's putting her car in for an oil change and a check up. Brakes might be needed, but we'll see. And then, it's Game night! We only have one game this weekend, so I'm going to enjoy it.
Yesterday was a long and draggy day. My boss texted at 8, since he was on the road coming down for a meeting, asking J and I to do the inbox. The inbox was relatively quiet, especially with the two of us working it, and we had it cleared in no time. After that, we mostly sat and stared at each other.
Eventually S. got there and that was nice. We had him for about two hours before he went into a 4 hour meeting. He's worried about me having burnout. I told him with how much shit has been going on with Dad, work is a nice little calm harbor in the storm. AM I burnt out? Of fucking course. And if I get passed over for this job, you're going to see new levels of burnout. But I'll still do my fucking job. Probably not other people's jobs, though. I'm tired of doing that.
S brought NYC bagels, which no one else wanted, so I have a dozen bagels in my kitchen, as well as more booze for me. Two bottles of sweet wine, which I am excited about. We cracked one last night and it was excellent.
Finally, we finished the day, and I stopped to pick up food from Lovejoys Market. They have really good prepared grab and go meals. I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I got a few things. With most entree's being around $8, it's not that pricey.
Tommorrow, we get to go see the D&D movie. Excite! As usual, I'm not looking for transformative cinema. I just want it to be fun. That's all I generally ask of movies. If it's got some D&D easter eggs, that's awesome, but as long as it's a good romp, I'll be happy.
Jess assures me that it's not that I have the emotional depth of a teaspoon, but I'm not sure I believe them. I just want escapism out of my media. I honestly don't remember the last movie I watched that could be considered deep. Maybe during the AIDS crisis, when I was watching Jeffrey and The Band Played On. These days, if it's got robots or superheroes beating the hell out of each other, I'm in.
Part of it is that my brain has been a total jerk for the last few years about new media. I have trouble finding the bandwidth for new things. I used to go to the library and get a pile of books and have them read in a few days. These days, I have a few "safe" authors, and sometimes that doesn't even work. I DNFed a Seanan McGuire book last year. I'll probably go back to it when I have some brain cells to spare, but for now, it's unfinished. Mind you, I can re-read stuff to my heart's content. I'm doing a reread of the Newsflesh series right now, and that's going well.
Maybe at some point, I'll have bandwidth for more. Who knows? But for now, I'm going to enjoy my popcorn movies.
Okay, time for me to get myself together for the day. Everyone have a wonderful Friday!
