I don't have a ton to update you on for the last 24 hours . . . yesterday I left work slightly early to go see a 4:00 pm showing of The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, which I kind of loved, in spite of a distracting cameo appearance at the end.

I looked up other user reviews on Letterboxd after I finished my review, and encountered a lot of criticisms that were actually fair. But, I decided to stand by my A-minus grade anyway. As of now, it's on my working top 10 for the year, which I have smartly created a Letterboxd list for, to help me track. At the moment this movie is ranked #8, which means there's a good chance it will get kicked off the list by the end of the year. I still really liked it a lot.

Anyway I walked home, wrote the review, then watched a delightful episode of 30 Rock before going back out to the living room to watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. I also made plans to see a movie with Ivan after work tonight, a little bit last-minute but it was a movie I had on my calendar already anyway.

It feels like there's a lot more going on at work than usual today—especially in my email. I was slightly overwhelmed with it upon getting back to work yesterday after having taken only one day off on Friday. I had 90 emails received on that day alone, which was a lot to sift through while also getting a ton more through the day yesterday.

At least our Partners Portal is back online as of yesterday afternoon, after being down for a record 12 days. That does mean a lot of follow-ups with vendors and brokers yesterday afternoon and this morning.

On top of this, the remote desktop I work in so that our item maintenance program actually works properly is all fucked up, forcing me to work outside the remote desktop, where not only is HQ (said item maintenance system) not properly functional but none of my browsers or programs have all the same bookmarks. It's made everything even more frustrating, but whatever. I am gainfully employed!
