LM#2 slept through the night again! I know it seems silly to be this excited about an almost-four-year-old sleeping through the night, but dude, it is. It really is.
TV
S1, E1: Brooklyn 9-9: Pilot Yeah. Not that funny There were a few humrous parts, but mostly I was hoping Adam Sandburg's character would just tone it down. His funniest bit when standing up in the speedo. Overall I wasn't impressed but will tune in one more time.
Dads: S1, E1: Pilot Eh. I found this one funnier but I have to admit to loving Seth Green. Love him. So I think I was easier on it? More open to it? My favorite bit was him miming behind his dad taking out two swords, chopping his head off and then punting it. I laughed out loud at that. Mostly though I kind of cringed through a few parts: the Asian woman dressing like an anime character, silly laugh and all; mistaking the wife as a maid because she was Latina. *sigh* But I'm not surprised, these are the people that created "Ted" afterall. I will tune in again, mostly to see Seth Green
I'm hoping the two shows improve. They could do a lot by toning the characters down, they are just too unbelievable on Brooklyn 9-9, and the Dads on Dads.
Work
So. I just spoke with Staff Member K and had to take away most of her job and give her back straight processing. She is making too many mistakes and I can't count on her consistancy. I'm friends with Staff Member K, so it was a little rough, but I've been trying to work with her on this for a year and it's not getting better. She has a lot going on personally and I think this wil help her overall, lower her stress level etc. I'm sure she didn't see it that way, which is a shame, but I have to do what's best for the department.
That means to talked to Staff Member B and told him he is getting additional responsiblity, even put out there if he succeeds there could be a small promotion as he could advance a level. (He is going to submit his resume for the supervisor position, but sadly he has no experience and I really need someone with experience. Plus he hasn't really proven he can handle all of that.)
Fun times.
