MrGrumpy goes to the movies

It was quite late when MrGrumpy went to sleep last night (past midnight), but he did not really want to get up when the iPod alarm went off. He hit the snooze option to delay the inevitable and got up about 6:10am.

Little MissNaughty has been challenged with her technology this week. The TV needed a re-tune, she had to fight with the various remote controls,  menu system  and terminology to initiate a re-tune of the DTV channels.

MrGrumpy's usage over a month

Not long after she had completed that but there was a system update for her iOS devices, this the first time  there has been an update that she has done.
Lucky it all went smoothly and she is now much happier as the iPad switched to 3G better when she is at work. Not that either MrGrumpy or her are heavy cellular data users.

Little MissNaughty's usage today

MrGrumpy spotted that MrsQueenOfPop was playing in San Jose the day Little MissNaughty is planning on visiting the US, lucky she is playing two days as MrGrumpy suspects LMN would not be able to stay awake to goto a concert on the day she arrives. So MrGrumpy has booked tickets for them to go on the 7th October 2012.

Just like "Groundhog Day" his daily routine and journey to the cube farm went as expected except the most unlikely event of the day,  a call from MrPointyHairedBoss, the Blog and weekly reports had kept him up to date with MrGrumpy's progress but the office must be far to cheerful without MrGrumpy there to dampen any happiness that might exist. 

Next weeks diary is already filling up, MrWhiteSox is back in the area and they are scheduled to visit customers on Tuesday (and maybe Wednesday if needed).

MrGrumpy decided to go that today he would go and see the Avengers Movie, he searched to find a suitable time, the AMC about 10 miles away was showing it in IMAX 3D, so that sounded like a plan, go get food, watch movie, go home.
MrGrumpy did get caught up in sorting out a couple of last minute customer issues, but he did manage to leave the office just after 3:00pm.

Outside it was pretty hot, MrGrumpy thought about activating MrAirCon, but then decided it was California, so Top Down time...

Sorry UK, more Blue Skies.

MrGrumpy tried to find some shade for the car, but it was not much use, he went into the mall and brought tickets for "The Avengers" in IMAX 3D then went to get some food (this would save looking later).

This was the first experience of IMAX 3D for MrGrumpy, he sat about middle and half way up so it was an ideal spot. The 3D effect is very impressive, if only he did not have to wear the annoying glasses.

There are a few movies coming up that he will be using his late friday afternoons to enjoy, he is especially looking forward to the new BatMan movie on July 20th.
