*Grumblegrumblegrumble!*
Well, everyone at work was supposed to be able to go to Star Wars tomorrow, with tickets apportioned out to the various group admin assistants for either a daytime show (10ish, IIRC) or 12:01 a.m..
Of course, my group is the red-headed stepchild around here (some things never change- i always seem to work in these sorts of places, damnit), so instead of getting a mix of the two, they sent a few of the daytime ones, and the rest for the midnight show. Guess who isn't going?
Two hours of movie and an hour and a half drive home afterward?
Nofuckingthankyouverymuch.
Not getting home at 3:30 a.m. and having to go back around 8ish. Nope. I can wait a week or two and take the whole family (*which i'd end up doing anyway*).
Wheeee! Some morale-building event. I feel so much better about where i work now than i used to.
Someone come rescue me? Please?

Just back from Goth Coffee. Talked with a handful of people. More on this later.
After my little movie ticket bitch earlier, i got quite a surprise- my boss stopped by, asked if i got my ticket, i gave him the profanity-free version of what i posted here along with a status report on what had gone on during the day- finally got all the upgrade automation working and run blah blah blah. Stayed late for the now-standard Wednesday testing session, primarily because it makes sense to stay a little late and go right to the Aurifice, rather than wasting a bunch of time in between. Anyway, later he came by and insisted that i take his ticket.
Anyway- met lots of people, mainly thanks to autumngray aka Stax. I'm probably going to toss out a bunch of "things people don't know about me" in the near future, so consider yourselves forewarned. More later.
