Staring @ the Ceiling

Quiet Saturday night February 23, 2008

I’m home tonight on a Saturday, watching movies and catching up on some work. I go out a lot during the week and on most Fridays, but I prefer to stay home on Saturdays unless I really have something specific planned. All of the premium movie channels show new movies on Saturday nights, and I’ve usually saved quite a few to watch from the past week as well. Right now I’m watching ‘Champion’, and later tonight I’m planning to see ‘Michael Clayton’, ‘Ordinary People’, and the rest of ‘Rendition’.

I used to use NetFlix, but I switched to Blockbuster Online a while ago since I have 2 local stores nearby to take advantage of their in-store trades. Blockbuster increased its rates a while ago, and if they increase them again, I might switch back to NetFlix. I was never displeased with NetFlix, but I couldn’t resist trying Blockbuster Online for a while. Netflix even made canceling so easy that my queue is still available for me to restart my access. I’d definitely have no problem returning to NetFlix.

My boyfriend Chris is considering some job offers and the most attractive one is in Atlanta. He said that me being here in Erie puts a real wrench into that idea, and he asked if I’d be willing to move there with him. I really don’t want to move, but it was great that he asked. Sometimes I question how much I mean to him, but I must mean a lot if he’d ask me to move there and is considering our relationship so much in this decision. I’m hoping he’ll stay or accept one of the offers closer to home, but if he ultimately decides to leave, I’ll understand. I’ll feel really lousy about it for a while, but I’ll know he considered me in the decision. Anything could happen at this point so I’m trying not to think about it too much, but it has been on my mind.

My inconsiderate next door neighbor is moving…yay! She’s very nervy, her visitors are rude, and her son is a bratty pre-teen. Other than that, I love them both…ha ha. It will be so nice not to have my driveway blocked anymore!

Another one of my co-workers is leaving so two of our problem employees will have both left within a short period of time. This should free us up of some of the dead weight and allow us to replace them with some quality people.

So lately, things have been going my way. I’m a little hesitant to wonder how long this luck will last.
