Ever have one of those days where one minute you're the driver, the next you're the roadkill?

Tower View
Clarification here.

Gi, aka the work wife, is not married to me. She was trapped with the nickname because she and I have worked together for a number of years and been friends for longer than that. I've been teased by her and other co-workers that I would be the perfect girlfriend for her except for the fact that I'm a hetero male. So hence, we are the work spouses.

I'm not sure how her fiance feels about that and I dont think I want to know. It was bad enough that he paniced when I loaned her a few of my "adult oriented" films for them to watch. Bwahahaha...

Speaking of work, what the hell is really accomplished by a "Reorganization?" This is when you take the same people that work in an area and shuffle them around so that they have different bosses.

The thing that bothers me is that its the same people in each section and the same bosses that your co-workers just had. So is anything really accomplished? Then again, is anything ever really done to begin with?

As you can guess, there was a reorganization at work today. It was really for the upper eschelon so I'm not sure how to feel about that since it really didnt effect my current paycheck. I'm sure in some ways, we, the employees, will get shafted in the end.

Out in The Yard
Two of my favorite blogs are Cynical Rantings and Anne - Straight From The Hip.

Cynical Rantings makes me smile by seeing the way the young female writer, Cynical Tyrant, views work, religion, and people in general. She rides a road bicycle, owns a black Jeep, and is even a ninja. Definately a woman after my own heart.

Anne is abit more serious in that she started her blog to help cope with the loss of a good friend. She's more straight foreward in her views and we all need that kind of thing every so often.

Before I forget, I highly recommend watching The Ring, an excellent horror/drama movie remade from the Japanese movie Ringu. Both movies are based off of a Japanese legend in where if someone read this specific poem, they would die in seven days. In the movie version, there is a video tape that when viewed, the viewer will die in seven days.

Very suspenseful movie that actually caught me off guard at the end, which is a rarity. I'm the lad that people hate in movie theaters because I tend to figure out the plot abit too quickly, then blurt it out abit too loudly.

If you enjoy being scared, watch this one with the lights off. If not, be sure to turn on all the lights and disconnect the phone.

Easter egg alert: On the menu screen, move the arrow until its off the screen and can no longer be seen. Hit ENTER and you will get a pleasant surprise.

Background Noise
Damn It by Blink182. I always did like this song.

And it'll happen once again,
You'll turn to a friend;
Someone who can understand,
Sees thru the master plan.
But everybody is gone
and you've been there for too long
to face this on your own.
Well I guess this is growing up.
