It took me a bit to get settled last night but I did eventually get a pretty good night of sleep. The first in several days at least. It was nice. I ended up getting up fairly early though because I need to take my meds but I got a nap in later to make up for it.

My day was spent watching YouTube videos and playing a bit of Euro Truck Simulator 2. I discovered several more truck dealers by going slightly out of my way on deliveries. I had been to most of the cities or towns before but the dealership was far enough away that it didn't discover it when I made my deliveries. I think I may have one or two more dealerships to find. Then I want to try out each truck back-to-back so I can make a final decision on my first truck. I have driven all of the trucks before but I wasn't really paying attention to the brand of the ones I liked. It would be nice if they had a test drive option but I'll have to actually make deliveries with each truck. I'll get there eventually.

Tonight at work I read a bunch from Under The Dome and watched The Wolverine (in two parts). Under The Dome is quickly reaching a climax. I would say pages away. I'm somewhere past 80% finished and the tension is so close to breaking. I would stay up and keep reading but it is almost two o'clock in the morning and I am tired. Maybe tomorrow. The Wolverine is a pretty good movie. Much better than Wolverine: Origins, at least as far as I remember that movie. I watched the first half during the first set and the second half during the second set. The action was good and there was tiny bit of comedy, although there could have been more.

Also at work, I started my night by fixing most of the movies. Almost all of them were wrong in some way. Five or six didn't have the last bit with the ending cue in it so when it got to the end of the movie the projector wouldn't turn off and the automation wouldn't reset. I have no idea how that happened. Every now and then it'll randomly get dropped off of one movie but not five or six. It was strange. Most of the old movies (ones not opening this week) had one or more old trailers on them. When I made the new movies this week I put on the right trailers but I didn't mess with the old movie trailers because I was doing this Thursday afternoon. Any changes I would have made would have either messed up the movies if I didn't transfer my changes to the individual projectors, or added the new trailers to the movies if I had transferred them. The latter is kind of the point but the new trailers aren't supposed to go on Friday, so it is the job of the person who closes on Thursday night to add the new trailers and start the transfer at the end of the night. There were a couple things screwed up last week and this week there obviously wasn't even an attempt to check the trailers last night. And it was a manager so no excuse there. It's the same guy who has recently become obsessed with making fine adjustments on the picture size and position of every single movie and he was caught up on one last night so he probably forgot all about trailers. He picked the wrong battle.

And now I am going to go to bed. My eye was kind of itchy this morning and a used an ice pack for awhile. Now it is back to being pretty much not swollen, just red around my eye. I am hoping tomorrow it will look even better. And be less itchy. I will find out soon enough. Also, my chigger bites or doing much better. Now they aren't really itchy, just purple. They look worse but feel better. And with that, I'm going to bed so I can wake up and take my meds and eat some Golden Grahams.
