Thursday was much the same as Wednesday. Friday I worked with DJ, Bryan, Kim, Bill, Laura & Amanda. The district manager (Dennis), the regional manager (Gary), and another district manager in training (Tim) were all at the store for quite awhile. It's never fantastic having the higherups around; but it didn't bother me as much this time, and actually, Tim made a point of complimenting me on trading my movie knowledge with customers, which was nice. He overheard me talking to a customer about a movie they were renting, and what other movies the stars were in - it was a cool thing for a manager to overhear, because the customer reacted somewhat negatively to something I said, and I used my info to turn it around on her, and make it positive. It doesn't always go that way, but that pretty much ensured my good day at work, despite have a slight stomach problem after I ate.

I rewatched Harry Potter 5. Great movie. Fantastic book. I'm aching to re-read the series, and I might do so after I finish the DS9 book I'm reading now. I'd also like to get to the next New Frontier book soon. These DS9 books are great, but I like to mix it up a bit.

New Doctor Who today. I'm so psyched about it, but a little sad, as in just 2 weeks time the season (not including the Christmas Special), will have ended - and there won't be another season of this length until at least 2010. Still, what we've been getting has been pretty fabulous. Tonight's episode is supposed to be a HUGE Donna episode, plus Rose is finally back, so I expect I'll enjoy it quite a lot. :-0)

Michael is coming over later today to get his computer, but I don't think we'll have time to hang out, as he's got a busy day planned. He left me a message about maybe hanging out later in the week, which would be nice.

I'm anxious to get my test results back on Monday. I work on Sunday, Tuesday & Friday.

I need to call Jordan. He wants to hang out soon too. Maybe tonight? Not sure.

I slept after getting home last night, which was what I needed, but I woke up with a horrible headache; very intense pain. Thankfully, my midrin kicked it good. I still might take a long hot shower though, as those always seem to make me feel better.

I've been extra worried about Mollie lately, as I haven't been hearing from her, and she's almost constantly in my thoughts. I got a text message from her last night though, which says she's just depressed about her situation, and who can blame her really? I wish there was more that I could do for her. I'd beg her to come live with us if I thought that she would. But she's got her mother to worrry about. And her brother. We'd have room for Mollie, but I don't think we have room for Kenny. I wish we did, because I think if we could take them both in, there might be some small chance that I could get them to move back home now. Mollie would get a great job here in no time, and we'd both enjoy her wonderful laughter, which I'm guessing isn't filling up her life at the moment.
