we went to the opening night festivities of charlotte sometimes last night. we being me, w, roommate and her boyfriend. i didn't know anything about it, other then roommate's friend knowing the director from high school. i like that tho, no expectations. but the movie was really good, and the Q&A afterwards with the director and cast was very interesting. i just think some people are always looking for some kind of political agenda, and it was great to hear the director, eric byler, totally deconstruct that notion, that just because you're an asian-am director that made a movie with asian-am actors, doesn't mean there's an asian-am message behind it. it was a good story, that just happened to be about a group of asian-ams. i'll leave it at that. but it's playing at the UA Galaxy, so check it out while you can.

i had a really wacked out day at work on friday. it started out great, afterall it was friday! but my afternoon was a crazy one, and i was getting really frustrated at my director. she's just way too moody. how sad is it that our entire dept knows when it's that time for her??? she's great at what she does, but she needs to take lessons on how to work with people, cuz she sucks at it. and she has no people managing skills what so ever. she's the type that pretends to try to do something about it, but actually just pushes it aside like she doesn't have time to deal with it. it really bugs me. i know i could say something to HR, but i've noticed that not much is done about things when you go to HR. cuz many people have gone to HR to "report" on someone in my dept and it hasn't changed a thing. but i've come to realize something. when you hate someone/something about your job, there's a level of tolerance for it/him/her. and my director, well, i can handle her. it's not so bad where i want to leave the company. but it's just frustrating that we're all avoiding her so as not to get caught in her wrath. it just shouldn't be like that. that's it, i don't ever want to have a female boss ever again. ha. anyways, my frustration became anger when i had to stay late and miss my eye doctor appt that took me forever to make. i called my doc and he was totally understanding about it and rescheduled for monday. grr... but the silver lining in all this? i had a GREAT wedding site tour with the sweetest couple, and i really hope they decide to have their wedding there.

sorry for rambling, i just needed to vent.
