Can't sleep = update. I spent all weekend with Matt, which was great as always. We had something of a Matrixfest: rented the original, played the hell out of Enter the Matrix (one of the most fun games I've played in ages) and saw Reloaded again. I forgot how entertaining the first movie was, and Reloaded is a lot better the second time, when your expectations are lower and you catch a lot more of the theory and innuendo. Also, Persephone and Niobe kiss in EtM and it's really, really bizarre.
Work tonight was notably awful. There are a lot of new employees lately and it happens that the vast majority of them are slackers. Thanks to these guys, our superiors have, of course, been cracking down on all of us, making the job a great deal less fun. But I am trying not to make an uppity nuisance of myself in responce. Rather, I am waiting patiently for this fall, when I will hopefully become a supervisor and get to make people pay for their irresponcibility. The fact that people can't muster the slight energy necessary to be grateful for a job this cushy is simply beyond me-- and when it starts to get me in trouble, well, that's the last straw. (And for the record, this isn't vindictiveness. It's a very, um, proactive form of karma.) |
