hopefully more CEOs can continue to suffer

I am experiencing an unhealthy amount of satisfaction -- even schadenfreude -- at the blowback on Shrek 5's design. Maybe if you hadn't gotten rid of a huge chunk of your workforce and outsourced all your films to cheaper studios, Randy Lake, then this wouldn't have happened?  But what would I know? I was just an easily discarded TD. I meant nothing to you.  In other CEO crap, the tallest roller coaster in the world, Kingda Ka, has just gotten demolished. Blown up, knocked down, 456 feet of beautiful engineering thrown into the wrecker for no actual reason. We were never given a warning to go ride it one final time (and I actually never got to ride it because I am not someone who just randomly decides to go to New Jersey, but I was going to go within the next few years). I hope Zimmerman feels a lot of pain from doing that. He probably won't, though.  Am I going to go to Saudi Arabia when Falcon's Flight is finished? I mean...Probably not. Too many human rights viol...

the joys of collapsible schedules

I should've been in bed 30 minutes ago, but here we are.  I am likely not going to hit my running distance targets tomorrow. Well, I might, but not in the morning. But I'm going to run even if I don't hit the targets. And that will lay the groundwork for much better days in the coming weeks. 

imagine getting president's day off

wouldn't it be nice? to have a 3-day weekend? sure would be We have to work Sunday and our company doesn't get Presidents Day off, so it's a 1-day weekend for us.  Meanwhile the guy who was an intern at Sling where I was a level 1 is now a senior engineer...and I'm stuck here at midlevel making 90k and having to work weekends. 

In other news, Alex still sucks at clarinet

I'm going back to my beginning band roots 40 minutes a day. Eat lunch at 11:35 while working. Walk at noon for 20 mins. Then play.  During the summer I will only do that a few times a week, since I like going to the park. But right now, yeah every weekday. True beginning band roots would be more like 45-65 but I no longer have such time. 40 is close enough.  It's also split between 2 instruments lol. So I guess 45 clari and 10 piano would be perfect but oh well.
