The Pleasantness of an Employment

Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment.
-- Philip K. Dick

Monday, June 2, 1997

So I went this morning to pick up my car. A large chunk of change! Ah, the free feeling of driving wherever I please! And where did I drive? To work, of course!

After my one-on-one meeting with my manager, another program manager had a question about a possible intern who will be joining us. That lead us to high school jobs we had had. My boss had worked as a telemarketer! I worked at McDonalds, which was nice because my boyfriend worked there too. One summer in Northern Virginia, and one in Virginia Beach, we worked the late shift. I remember the dawn coming up over the Atlantic.

Lucy told me she couldn't see the feedback link on my pages in NS 3.0. Those tables were just a little too nested, I guess! So I grabbed all the pages and changed the footer, so that link isn't an embedded table anymore. So please feel free to mail me! Thanks, Lucy!

To the festival!

  • La Promesse
    Belgian film about a boy who is helping his father scam and cheat the foreign workers they import. When a dying worker asks the boy to help his wife and child, he goes against his father for the first time. Worth seeing, but a little predictable.
  • The Headhunter's Sister
    Ray, an executive recruiter in Manhattan, gets a visit from his sister, a San Diego housewife, who meets his green-card needing wife for the first time. Not bad, but shapeless. The authors took some of the material from incidents in their real lives, and while this adds authenticity, it doesn't add up to a consistent story arc. Gee, I am sick of everyone smoking constantly in movies. And then they break out the pot, and then the heroin!
