Paraskevidekatriaphobia

Well it is Friday the 13th, MrGrumpy does not believe in paraskevidekatriaphobia, generally things just  go wrong when it is most inconvenient, not based on the day or date. Unless that date is the warranty expiry of a Western Digital hard drive, then they always go wrong a week or two after the expiry date.

Friday started just like any other, up around 6am, work by 7am. Unlike most Friday's MrBombsAway has arranged a lunchtime visit to a local French style restaurant to pre-celebrate Bastille Day (MrGrumpy has no idea why, but why not, a chance to socialise with some of his co-CubeFarmers / inmates).

With it being a Friday, MrGrumpy headed for the Cinema again, he did not want to wait until 5:45pm so went to the 4:10pm showing of Spider-Man in IMAX 3D. For a change the 3D was quite effective, he generally still tries to avoid the 3D and prefers just the IMAX (especially if something is showing on the duff screen 7 at the AMC). The new version of Spider-Man he thought was alright, he was pleased they did not just do a direct remake of the previous movies. The next few months have several movies that MrGrumpy wants to see, The Dark Knight Rises, Bourne Legacy, Total Recall, 360 to name just a few, his Friday scheduled movie looks to continue for a while yet.



MrGrumpy is visiting some of the other CubeFarms next week, he is off to Dallas for a couple of days and then onto Santa Ana / Los Angeles before returning to San Jose. His cab to the airport on Sunday is at 4:30am so he will have to ensure he is packed and ready by tomorrow evening.
