I worked from home yesterday, more in anticipation of a terrible commute than anything else. My boss texted all of us to say she didn’t mind if we all telecommuted, so who was I to argue with that?
The weather actually wasn’t so bad, quite sunny for a change and warm enough to actually melt some of the snow for the first time in what seemed like forever. It snowed again today, but yesterday was actually pretty nice once it actually got underway.
Still, I wasn’t going to pass up the chance to work from home. And, anyway, the LIRR was canceling trains when I first woke up, so it was probably for the best. Still, it’s a bit weird that the only day I was in the office last week was Monday, the one day a week I usually work from home.
Last night, I re-watched Before Sunrise, I suppose because it was Valentine’s Day. Never let it be said I don’t have a romantic bone in my body, even if I did watch it all by my lonesome.
Tonight, I watched the much less romantic The Counselor. The AV Club described it as “existential Elmore Leonard,” and it does sometimes feel more like an intellectual exercise than a movie, even if it’s the exercise of a decidedly gruesome intellect. It was good, but I don’t know that it was especially fun.
And that was the past couple of days. It’s a three-day weekend, which is really nice, and it’s not even supposed to snow…much.
