Mood: Out There, Dude

Word Count: A paltry 670

Last month was hectic at work. New boss was adjusting to our team and vice versa. I think we are starting to see the human side of her. So things are calming down. Honeymoon's over onto the lethargy of marriage. I had a woman at work tell me I had a good way of treating people as opposed to other supervisors. I asked her what she meant and she told me I treat people with respect and make them feel a part of the solution. I never get angry with anyone or try to talk down to people. She doesn't work for me but in the area and said a lot of the employees talk about me with respect. I needed that. I always felt people saw me as someone they could walk over.

Friday night I was planning to crash early when during some intermittent channel flipping I found a movie on HBO2 that I have been dying to see. Donnie Darko. I have not been this freaked out since the other time traveling movie The Twelve Monkeys. Jake Gyllenhal (sp.) was fantastically creepy and superbly weird. I never embraced my geeky side in high school or college sticking to the casual jock persona instead. A mistake in hindsight. I recommend the movie. Two big toes up!!

I had a good day Saturday with an early writers group meeting. Back in Louisville at the Hawley Cooke store I had a run in with a politician. Standing in the street blocking traffic was this woman, she was gawking at some store sign. I honked at her and she moved giving me a look. It was Congresswoman Anne Northup. I hate her politics but respect the way she performs her job. She just needs to get her ass out of the road.
