Layoffs suck.

although, when I got laid off a few years ago...after the initial shock, it was so awesome. still, they always come at the worst times.

lennedsay is an attractive and smart woman. She'll probably be in middle management before she is 30 and in the boardroom of a Fortune 500 before 45. This will be a temporary setback at the very worst.

Thanks guys... Management isn't what I'm aiming for, but that's what I became at this job at age 22, a regional manager, and I did really enjoy it. Looking at job listing for accounting managers, they pay out $100K+ and I just need a few more years experience.

Heard from co-workers today, and it was a horrible day today for them. I could've endured that bullshit, but instead I sat at home, signed up for unemployment and sent out a few resumes while watching The Soup, then stopped by my parents house on my way to yoga class with my BFF, where we made up funny names for poses. The only thing that would've made it better would be if some government agency paid me to do this... Wait, they do?

but that's exactly what it is! I just want to watch fast five and still have a phobia about going to the cinema alone. And I just saw Thor yesterday and don't want to call the same person. Plus I'll probably ask that person to watch Transformers 3, so three movies in a week is super weird. (unless transformers 3 isn't this friday).

haha transformers is in July. what the hell.

Out of curiosity, what job tasks were you still performing after say 16 hours?

For uber-long days, at that point, it might be transporting and processing prisoners (fingerprinting, interrogating, preparing court/bail packages), simply guarding prisoners in cells, maintaining continuity of exhibits, a stakeout of an address for intel, or in anticipation of a search warrant, writing a search warrant, or conducting a search. Or a combination of all of the above.

Dad has been in the hospital since Saturday due to gall bladder pain. They ran some tests and they found a cancerous sore in his left kidney. They say it's REALLY early and that him going to the hospital for the gall bladder is awesome because they've found this and I have to agree. Right now we're accessing whether or not he needs gall bladder surgery but in the mean time he's on a strict low fat diet and we're trying to find a surgeon who do rid the kidney of the cancerous wound (which they say has a 4% chance of coming back, so really low!) and remove the gall bladder at the same time, but it's in the air.

Thankfully we caught this early.

I used to go to the theater alone all the time when I was in high school and college. *foreveralone.jpg* I saw Elizabeth: The Golden Age in a completely empty room (it was at the dollar theater too, so they made $1 off that screening lol).

I should explain that I'm not totally against watching movies alone. I'll probably see Tree of Life alone. But this is Fast Five. You're not paying the fee to appreciate the cinematic grace of Tyrese. It's a movie that's considerably more entertaining with friends. Problem is that it's the middle of the week so people are normally busy.
