Not Really

This will be a short week for me. It’s my birthday on Thursday so I thought I would take the day off. Then we have Friday and Monday off for Easter. A nice long relaxing weekend will be great. Now I just have to get through 3 days of pre-holiday work.

Three people have asked me for laptops to take for the long weekend. They can’t stand to be out of touch with their email for that long. I can’t stand to check it every minute when I’m out of the office. The work will be there when you return people. The days before a holiday are always busier for me. The last-minute users ask me for this and that. It’s like the end of the world is coming and they are trying to get one more thing done before it’s here. Take a pill and relax, I say.

We tried to see The Time Machine at the theatre yesterday. Our plan was to go to the 4:30 matinee at our usual theatre. We waited in line to get the tickets and were told the film had a scratch in it that showed on the screen about halfway through the movie. The employees said it could be fairly annoying and that it didn’t go away for the rest of the movie.

No problem. We’ll just see Blade 2. It was sold out. So we went to Blockbuster, rented The Last Castle with Robert Redford and went home. It was a good film and I recommend it.
