Good Things

hiddenmuseYes, I've had some good things happen in my life recently. :)
Last night, I'd gone to the local library near my office for their twice-a-month movie night (I'm not sure if it's "bi-monthly" or "semi-monthly" -ed.). Anyways, they were showing a Woody Allen film called Sleeper, a film that was made in 1973 about a man that was cryogenically frozen after complications from surgery, and brought back to life in the year 2173.
Of course, it was a bit cheesy, but some things were quite funny - a VW bug (Beetle for the younger ones) starting up after 200 years. A New York Times from the 1990s with the headline: "Pope's Wife Gives Birth to Twins". Chocolate and tobacco being *good for you*. Considering how things are going in modern times, a bit of escapism was good. :)
Afterwards, I was so tempted to go out to Denny's or IHOP - even though I'd already had dinner before the movie. Rather than give in and go out, I thought about why I'd want to eat again, and realized that I wasn't truly hungry. I was bored and/or wanted to be sociable. So, I came home, puttered about and was in bed by 11 p.m. The next day, I was proud of myself for not giving in and overeating. :)
Today, I went to lunch with my supervisor - mainly because we both wanted to check out a shop that someone was raving on about. So we went out for Taco Hell (thank G*d for Prevacid, that's all I can say), then went to the shop - where we saw all kinds of goodies. I was a bad girl & gave in, buying a couple of bracelets (one has amber beads & a red Budhha, another looks a bit like Mah Jongg tiles strung together) and a fake Coach purse.
Then, later this afternoon, I got good news. I've gotten a promotion on paper (translation: change in title), and when the bonuses and raises come around, should be nicely rewarded. So, instead of being a "Customer Service Assistant", I am now a "Personal Account Representative". In other words, I'm pretty much a full-on CSR. Yay me!
That's all for now. I've gotta get home so I can return Lilo & Stitch to the video store!
