robotech_masterFound out via Slashdot about a new Doctor Who Flash-animation coming out at the Beeb to celebrate the Doctor's 40th anniversary: Scream of the Shalka, starring Richard E. Grant as the 9th Doctor. Watched the first episode of it, which is all that's available so far, and once you get used to the minor hokiness of Flash, it's pretty decent. I can believe that Grant would do a good job as the Doctor. I'll be looking forward to seeing what the next five parts of it look like.
One more day of work 'til the weekend. Yaaaay. It can't come soon enough; it's been a wearing week. I think I'm having a bit of difficulty acclimating to the shorter breaks. It used to be that, in 20 minutes, I had time to do just about everything I wanted to...but there's a world of difference between 20 and 15, because now it seems I've no sooner sat down at the computer than I'm late getting back from break. And lunch being cut to a half hour? There's no way there's time for anything but eating—and barely that, if I'm lucky. There's nothing like the frustration of getting to the mall to find 10 minutes of your break already gone...and discovering you forgot to get cash out of the ATM so you need to spend more of your time doing that, and by the time you're back at the mall and have eaten, you're already late getting back! My compliance rating is an absolute mess.
At least today is mostly going to be taken up by training, and it was actually a decent training session last week so it might just be again this week. And then tomorrow I go down and visit the folks to celebrate my Mom's birthday and Thanksgiving. It'll be a good break, and just what I need.
