In Eckleburg's Eyes - 11/12/2008

As usual, I worked the 8:45 am - 1 pm shift at the Hope Resource Center. The sheer volume of clients that walk through the doors never ceases to amaze me. Most of them, however, are women. The campus location receives men coming from class but most male clients at the main center come after work. This tends to leave me with a lot of time to study. On this day, I got to work in a recently opened counseling room. I was especially pleased that it was equipped with a couch. You will note that in addition to my typical stack of articles to read, I brought Sudoku. It was a hard day at the office.

On Tuesday night, I watched Iron Man on DVD with MP, KLTW, KJW (note the half pig tail look she was sporting), and RAW at RAW’s home. KLTW had a migraine headache when we watched the film in theaters and wanted to see the last part of the movie. I think that was all that she did see as she studied throughout most of the night. That girl is overworked.

She did have a good story from the hospital. It seems a patient had dropped her salad and it needed to be cleaned up. One nurse thought it would be a funny idea to page “Code Name: Bugs Bunny” over the p.a. system. A colleague feared that this message would not be understood this so instead “Code: Green”, in deference to salad, was announced. Unfortunately, this is the name for a bomb threat.

I enjoyed the film, though as noted, I had seen it before. My review is posted in the May 11th edition of “A Veiled Tell: Nil Soli”. My only new observation is that Tony Stark needs to get better a security system for his home. Obadiah Stane, James Rhodes, and Nick Fury all enter Stark's mansion at various points in the movie.
