davidklechaWork from home days, how do I love thee?
Not very damn much, let me tell you.
In between calls, which have been very infrequent, I've little else to do but paperwork, and scheduling trips for other days. So, I sat down and watched Syriana, while tapping away at the make-work.
What an interesting and depressing movie. But, I can see why it got all those nominations. Now I'm watching the small-screen adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Netflix recommended it to me when I put The Bridge on the River Kwai into my queue, and so far it's been pretty interesting. I read the book back in Iraq, and enjoyed it, though it was far from what I'd been trained to read in spy novels. Which, in fact, reminds me of Syriana, though that was more cynical than anything LeCarre. LeCarre just has these weird anti-climaxes, sedate adventures with polite endings, for the most part. The mini-series is living up to that kind of tone and pacing.
Also, the VPN connection to work keeps crapping out, even when the internet connection seems solid.
I hate working from home.
