I will surprise you sometime, I'll come around when you're down

Well, I had an exciting day at work today... for the whole hour-and-a-half I was there. I got there just before 8:00, unlocked and went in as normally (locking the door behind me because there's no one upstairs) and the alarm goes off. Eep. I called the security company and of course they need a passcode to shut it off. Ugh. Since I don't have one any more, I start madly calling everyone's cell... and of course no one answers. The alarm eventually went off by itself and RH disarmed the code when he came in. This is what I get for being so eager (ha) to go back to work this week.

But yeah... around 9:00 M came in and since RH and I were the only ones around, he told us to go home. Okie dokie. I brought some stuff to work on though. I need money which means I need hours on my timesheet.

Something really sweet and nice: On my desk this morning I got a Christmas card and stocking from J & M. A chocolate Santa (mmm), Ferrero Rocher, sugar cookies and gift cards for Starbucks, Blockbuster and Barnes and Noble. Whoo hoo! I'm sure it's all been sitting there since the Friday before Christmas, so now I feel guilty about not going in that day.

Have you seen the latest Kirstie Alley/Jenny Craig commercial where she (Kirstie) is walking down this creepy, darkened street and some random guy is all, "You look good!" And she's all, "He's talking to me?" She's all happy and this big choreographed dance with her and various dudes starts. So: the message of this commercial is, "Lose weight so rude guys on the street will leer at and make lewd comments to you"? First of all, we shouldn't encourage women to lose weight so they'll look sexy to men, they should want to feel healthy and attractive. Also, people (men and women) making suggestive remarks to strangers on the street should totally be frowned upon.

Am I taking this too seriously?

Scary movie news:

- There's going to be a movie about the Zodiac killer directed by the genius David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club, Panic Room), and starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a reporter. I'm so there. (Sidenote: Damn, I should've gone to see "Brokeback Mountain" today. Oh, well).

- They did a semi-remake of "When a Stranger Calls" to be released in February. So there again. From the trailer, it looks as if instead of the story spanning out all these years, dumbass babysitter stays in the house (the kids are missing instead of all squishy and dead, I guess) and fights hands-on with creepy caller. Interesting.

Well, I better get back to the grind. I should clean up, too, because Simmons is coming this afternoon with my new mattress (and presumably to take my old one away).
