Today was pretty uneventful at work. Standard questions from customers and employees. Some issues with a roaming partner, but nothing that was my fault. 🙂

danvoyles.us/photos is now alive. I’m going to fine-tune and organize it before I link from the main page though. There are zoo photos and very few from last Christmas over at Marilee’s house. More to come, I promise.

From the moment I arrived at work until about now. Nothing seemed to go my way today. I forgot my mobile at home so I was almost late, work was unpleasant, Erich had an incident at Pre-K (last day, of course), and nothing especially good occurred to balance it out.

The positive is that I wound up at work on time, completed my assigned work, Erich learned from his experience, and the kids are being fairly well-behaved this evening. I haven’t had to correct them much and that’s always great.

Does anyone actually read this? Not that I care, it’s just nice to vent, but a comment here and there would be good.

We need to make Monday a national holiday. That way we don’t ever have to go to work on Monday, begging for 5 to get here. Also, it would clear up the middle of the week. Right now we can get excited about Noon on Wednesday, but we still have 4 more hours to go after lunch in that day. I don’t think that’s fair.

If we made a 4 day workweek, then once Wednesday was over, we could celebrate that the week was half over. Just my thought.

I’m writing about the short movie directed by John Carpenter. There is a series on Showtime called “Masters of Horror”. They give the greatest horror directors these short movies (one hour) to direct for the series. This one was rated very highly everywhere I read.

It was okay, but the ending kind of leaves you like WTF? The directing was very good, so props to Carpenter. The story’s ending however, leaves you wanting some more explanation. Not that leaving you wondering is bad all the time, but in this case, I thought it sucked. Just my opinion, check it for yourself and see if you agree.

We patrolled the zoo for 6 hours. It was an adventure. By the end of the day the kids and Mom and Dad were wiped. By the time we got back home Em and I agreed that we were not going to cook, so we didn’t. Fazoli’s provided nourishment for the evening.

I think everyone had fun. The kids saw elephants, zebras, tigers, giraffes, and many many more creatures that I can’t even recall. Just ask them though, and they’ll spout off a seemingly endless stream of animals. Personally, I was fond of the otters that would dive into the water, swim to the glass, and then do a backflip underwater. I don’t know if someone taught them to do it or what, but they kept doing it to the amazement of everyone watching.

Emily ran out of space to save the pictures. Who knew that was possible on a digital camera? Hopefully they will be posted soon in the Pictures section.
