Hmm this weekend.
I saw Superman Returns. I will tell everyone they have to go see it. I will not see it in theater again though. It is Superman, it is Lex Luthor, but its storyline falls a little flat. I left the theater wanting more. It just feels like there was no ending for it.
The rest of the weekend I was in lazy mode. It was great. I slept a lot.
And just to get this down, my ex-girlfriend asked me if I was now dating Chandra. No I'm not and will not date Chandra. Two reasons. One, she is leaving at the end of July or early August. Two, like she said, our views are really far apart. I am a pessimist that puts a good face on life; she is an optimist that puts a bad face on life.
Take for example our conversation about her current job. Lately people have been mean to her at work. She sees changes that would make the front desk more efficient and the supervisors tell her to mind her own business and not tell them how to do their job. Now she is already planning on leaving but it is important for her to reach her one year anniversary that comes up in three weeks.
I had a few points that I related to her. First, Front Desk is a low level entry job. Working Front Desk at a hotel is like slinging burgers at a fast food joint. The only benefit is you don't smell like ass when you are done. Trying to make changes at a place of business that doesn't matter is a waste of resources.
Another subject is that anniversaries mean nothing in the job world. I was worked at CP Internet for four years and ten months. Two months before I would have hit five years and gotten my crystal desk trophy for being there five years I got laid off. Before CP Internet my longest job was about a year long.
Anniversaries mean nothing, when you get your annual review does. But if you are planning on leaving a job, do it sooner then later. One of the things I learned about getting laid off after five years of time put into a job is, always have your resume ready to go. No one is immune to the downsize monster.
I enjoy my life and appreciate each day. But I know it could end at any time and I prepare myself for that emotionally if not physically. She is the opposite. She views the world through these rose colored glasses and is devastated when it doesn't work out like she thinks it should. I am sure a lot of it is due to our age difference. I have become old and cynical in my 10 years of difference between me and her.
