Saw that "cat saves boy" video. JJ Abrams couldn't have done it better with a script and 90 mill on the table.

...dreamed that I was going to visit M. Lash in his 43rd story apartment. I found the building by walking through a very busy urban area, but I didn't know the apartment number. I wandered the building's narrow halls, stopping in various doorways to ask people if they knew Lash. After meeting quite a few pleasant people, I finally found a young woman who knew Lash and would take me to him. Then I woke up.
A very basic plot to the dream, but the details were amazing!

...interviewed someone whom I hope will be my new assistant manager. Later I got sick and had to go home early. The two were unrelated.

oh no hope things will be OK at work. ...interviewed someone whom I hope will be my new assistant manager. Later I got sick and had to go home early. The two were unrelated. ... I got sick too, because of the terrible heat wave. And last night, it rained hard all of a sudden. All this is really messing with my body.

...and that was your good news. I just found out that a delayed course I was on is no longer the the same course, because the company doing it have updated it. They cancelled in in Q3 last year and I couldn't make the Q4 one. So, I was due to sit it shortly. But I don't think they picked up the gap between my booking and their new courses coming into play. So, they didn't bother/know to tell me. The slightly better than poor news is:- The costs haven't changed. Good because I have doubts my company would fund the difference right now. I also get to push the date back to sit it, which they were fine with under the circumstances. And I imagine a lot of the course material will be very similar, so it's not that big a jump. But just the same.

Yeah, that was my good news. There hasn't been anything really great to share, sadly.
I understand your frustration. I hope the changes in the course don't affect you negatively, and that for all intents and purposes the company will treat it as the same course.

Reading your post made me think the tone in mine didn't come across as funnily as it was intended. It was supposed to be like a "and that's all the good news folks. Now for more whining" towards the general readership rather than actually meant to be read as for any one person.
If it didn't come across that way, hopefully this post cleared it up a little.

Oh, thanks for clarifying, I do appreciate it. But no worries, I didn't take it negatively. I hope my own post didn't come across as testy or annoyed; I also meant to say that my circumstances are "steady" right now, nothing great but nothing too terrible either.

thanks Ibby.
... picked up the cat from the vet. She had two little teeth removed and came home and has gone through a bowl of tuna. She's only been with me full time for a few years since I moved here, having been with neighbours before that. I got blood tests done. They're all fine too. So, keeping an eye on her for a few days before a checkup. She's not young (13 approx), but it was the first thing that's ever been a problem.

Rudely asked two guys if they were done apologizing to each other for possibly being interpreted as being rude.

I thought we respectfully dealt with it without apologising. But I'm sorry if you felt differently

... had a weird dream about going skiing with people from college whom I loathe. Eh.

She's a strong not-young kitty! Glad she seems to be doing well now. Rudely asked two guys if they were done apologizing to each other for possibly being interpreted as being rude. I thought we respectfully dealt with it without apologising. But I'm sorry if you felt differently It's funny, we weren't so much apologizing as thanking each other for being all explanatory

...saw X-men: Days of Future Past. any good? One scene is wonderful; if you see it you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Otherwise, it was okay. It was fun to see at least 16 X-Men, but as one reviewer noted, the film fails to focus on its characters and it loses momentum in a convoluted plot. But it probably won't cause any X-fans to quit the franchise.

Thanks for the review, LT. I'm watching it tomorrow. I already had a hunch I wouldn't be blown away, but at least it looks like I will have a pleasant time

My response was supposed to be taken as a funny hence the smiley thingy. I'll see NoFP next week. I'm not too bothered with super hero movies, but it was such a classic story, it's too hard to miss.
