Dan was working in NYC writing 60-Second Novels at a party tonight [it's hard to work on Saturday nights, but good for our budget] so Moey and Ted picked me up and drove me to the movies to see "Official Secrets," starring Keira Knightley. I can't put the plot into words, so, per Wikipedia:
A British intelligence officer turns into a whistleblower after learning about NSA espionage plans designed to ensure passage of a resolution of war against Iraq by the U.N. Security Council in 2003.
It was good investigative reporting--gripping--and I liked seeing gritty London and the pretty seaside. I was happy to get together with Moey and Ted.
Must do some work emails now, that odd bird emailing sources after 11 pm on a Saturday night.
TCOY, Day 7 off Sugar Road, but getting a little sloppy, not enuf fruits/vegs/exercise

Yay, movie to add to my list! And there are no work hours anymore, laptops and phones have people putttng in time around the clock. At my job, it’s mostly based on the FY closing next week, but some people regularly flex odd hours. There’s downsides, of course, but mostly I like people having more choices.

Yes, Liz, I guess you are right. Definitely more flexible.
