Mission Accomplished

Yay...I actually made it through 30 days of blogging. I guess I have no excuse not to blog on a regular basis if I can manage this feat.

However, since it is the day before the big game and I have guests over at my house this weekend (and as I blog this right now), I shall do my NaBloPoMo post-mortem at the end of the weekend.

For now I shall keep this short and sweet by saying...

FIGHT ON TROJANS! BEAT THE BRUINS!

One Down, One To Go

Two strikes...one on the West coast, one on the East coast. 'Tis the season to have contract disputes, I suppose.

While Hollywood will have to wait until December 4th for more negotiations, the Great White Way is now aglow with footlights once again.

Late on November 28th, the League of American Theatres and Producers and the stagehands' Local One, IATSE union, came to a tentative agreement. The Broadway shows which had been shuttered since November 10 were finally able to go on for the first time, this evening.

Anyone who's lucky enough to be in Times Square tomorrow, should head over to the Marriott Marquis for a noon concert, to celebrate the end of the strike.

And...for those of you who won't be in Times Square...go see a show anyway. ;)

Odds Are...

I don't like traffic...I abhor it. But, what I dislike more than the traffic itself is discourteous drivers.

I was close to work this morning (yes...it was actually still morning this time ;) ), when a car came from the on ramp and tried to speed past me to cut me off. I wouldn't have any of that and made the driver wait his turn. I was annoyed, but put it out of my mind as I neared my exit at the next off ramp.

Unfortunately, the car behind me followed. While we were waiting on the off ramp, the other car swerved onto the shoulder. Not wanting him to pass illegally, I inched into the shoulder to block his path. He moved back into his lane and order was restored.

What made him think he had any right to jump in front of the rest of us? How rude.

A few minutes later I arrived at my destination, just in time for my meeting. Shortly thereafter, a couple folks (from another company) that we were waiting to meet with entered the room. One of them...you guessed it...was that same driver from the freeway.

Whoops...
