and I'll watch as you're lowered

Relative work-success today even if it meant staying past sunset. I even managed to complete the task-tracking datagathering thingby we're supposed to be filling in this week to monitor where work comes from (and how many little disruptions we accumulate) for some of our consultants to poke at to see if it's worth rearranging the department. I've some gaps to fill in on Monday as I felt it best to make a few quick notes about the existence of a task before doing it rather than spend too long describing it without actually getting it done. I do hope I've remembered all the little interruptions I received (I'll run through emails received and sent to be sure) as I'd hate to think any consultant assessing where our time is spent underestimates the amount of time consumed by them and their kind quickly popping over to quickly ask quick questions.

It was the cinema again in the evening; as there's been a glut of intriguing films recently I've become very familiar with the current advert and trailer reels playing at the Cameo and Filmhouse which tend to change only very slightly as films disappear from general release. A very strange addition to the ads today was the inclusion of one of these shit adverts inviting people to join one of the various bits of the armed services which joined a couple of long-running photo-realistic war-based computer game trailers (Gun-Toting Moron IV or similar) which all seemed a little odd to have running before a film such as Waltz with Bashir which is somewhat unsympathetic to the actions and consequences of armed conflict. Like the other recent guns-are-bad-and-the-people-who-wield-them-are-twats films this was hesitant to allow any sympathy for either side and barely allows for any compassion even for the documentary participants. Absolutely worth seeing and it's one of these films which ought to be on an obligatory viewing list for anyone thinking of joining an army or committing an atrocity.
