A High Toned & Fancy To Do

It's here! It's here! It's here!

The trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is on Yahoo Movies! Whoo hoo!
I can't believe we have to wait until July to see it. I so rarely enjoy going to movies when the big premiere hits but I don't see how I can wait an extra 24 hours to see it. I didn't see Sith or Goblet of Fire for days and days after the wide release (when I used to go opening day for all their predecessors) because invariably I'd get seated near someone who thinks their play by play is far more imaginative and enlightening than anything the cast or director might have to say and portray. After the long queues and hype, it makes one a bit more irritable due to heightened expectations I guess. But how, how can I resist, savvy?

I'm working from home again today. Despite my chipper attitude, I'm actually quite miserable at the moment. I have back and shoulder pain which I think is a symptom of being sick. I'm hoping I'm literally one long nap away from feeling better.

Work is being wonderfully flexible with me but I think they'd rather have me at home than looking at my grimacing face. Yesterday I was in a bad mood and had to go through a political nightmare. One of the consultants they want to stick me with is a complete social freak and I can't actually stand working with him. So we had a meeting about all the things he's said to me and done that's created this negative situation. It was hard because I felt like I was insulting G's first born son but I also know I can't survive this project with a consultant who is demeaning and incapable of communicating in a non-offensive manner.

The irony that was pointed out to me is that M is utterly offensive and I get along with him just fine. It's actually not ironic at all, because M developed a rapport with me before he got "offensive." We've often been compared as a crotchety old married couple because we're always nagging each other about something. I know what he's going to order off the menu and he starts yelling at me before I start to complain about something. But again, it's all about developing a relationship with someone before you start to become a jerk to them.

Anyway, I'm tired of sitting up now so I'm off to lay down with a tab of tylenol for a wee while.
