These will not be in any particular order. Let's get started:
1) My dad was in the hospital for about a week last week. Found out that one of his hearts ventricles is leaking. He had an appointment with a cardiologist this morning about surgery. I'll find out more later.
2) Things came to a head today at work in regards to my friend and co-worker. I'd been trying to cover for him lately as he had been either missing work, coming in late, or leaving early (more the latter). He hit a rough patch a couple weeks back, so I allowed him to start working four 10's. Unfortunately, he didn't stick to it, and would skip early saying he'd come in on Saturday to make up the time. Many times, he wouldn't even do that. Anyway, at one point last year, he was up for a promotion, which he didn't get because our CEO reneged on the offer. However, he was recently up for the same position again and what killed it was his attendance. We were going to have a meeting with our CEO about it, but he ended up just giving his 2 weeks notice. So, I'm out another worker and if we don't get anybody good, I'm down to 4 workers (including myself).
3) Went to see a Q & A with Guillermo del Toro last Saturday. Always find talks with artists to be really interesting, insightful and inspiring. If only that inspiration would last more than a few hours afterward. Anyway here's a pic:
4) I have a date on Friday night. I'm fairly nervous as it's been a long while. But we're just meeting up for drinks, and we'll see how it goes.
5) Thanks to all those who liked that last post of mine (about the beautiful stranger on BART). Didn't think that post would resonate with that many people.
