Well, I just got back from work and am in sort of a mixed mood. My yearly evaluation finally came up and I passed...but only barely and only because the manager went to bat for me. Selling is not my thing but I've grown accustomed to the job I'm in that I've stayed with it. However, I haven't improved at all because the truth is I hate it. If a person doesn't want a product, I won't force it on him. However, now that she's done this, I'm in a dilemna...I can't just leave because she put her own reputation on the line and I hate to stay because we're really slow now and I have to make a huge turnaround to make up for the previous losses. She's also the type who goes out on a limb for people and then holds it over their heads when things don't go right so it's really not that great that she did. On the other hand, I will get the Christmas bonus (Lord willing! If nothing else goes wrong) and keep my small raise such as it is. However, now I have a headache because I knew I had done bad but was still hoping I was wrong and am looking forward to a long couple months of hard selling which I detest. Oh, I should have left a long time ago...before this evaluation was done so I wouldn't have to worry about pressuring her and about staying. *kicks self for being lazy and not moving sooner*

Now on to more lighter fare...Brothers and Sisters! asdfsdflkjlk!! I mean the whole episode was pure gold. Kitty's performance of a shell shocked New Yorker after seeing the horror at the World Trade Center was emmy worthy and Nora was so cute getting out of bed with David. However, what really stole my heart was Holly and Saul. He just opened up and showed a whole other softer side that was just gah!! I love this man so much. In fact, now I have to watch him more closely in Alias because before his scruffy appearane always turned me off and I switched my allegiances to Jack Bristow with his clean shaven good looks. However, Ron Rifkin literally blew me away with his heartfelt performance Sunday. Can't wait to see which side he chooses. The actor is brilliant! Last night I saw Heroes and the tail end of CSI: Miami. Heroes continues to amaze. At one point I thought the show might start to digress but I was wrong. More things were revealed, more questions arose, and more mysteries to chew on. I love it when my brain doesn't understand what it's seeing. The Indian background for Mohinder Saresh was particularly well done and I liked seeing what Eden's superpower was. Next episode will be the best yet :D As for CSI: Miami, it definitely was...chilling and...interesting. Natalia's real life sister played her sister here and the story was based on true events so quite strange as art imitated life. Still don't like Natalia, still love Horatio :)
Aaaah the sweetness of love in the Air. Shakespeare is my favorite poem of all time so I was really excited when this poem came next on my list. If you've had British literature, then you're VERY familiar with this poem. I particularly love the line "but thy eternal summer shall not fade" because Martha most certainly shares many characteristics of a summer day...warm, inviting, and beautiful :) Maybe if Charles had quoted more poetry,they would have had a stronger marriage *wink*
