This is something of a test

No, for serious, it is. I'm just trying to see if I can email posts to Blogger from Outlook here at work and have them not look like crap. Seriously, that's all this is. Well, that, and I just wanted to add one more show to my previous post, and that's Shark, on CBS on Thursdays. James Woods is a high powered defense attorney who has a crisis of conscience when one of the sleazy people he helped get off ends up repeating his crime and killing his wife. He's then hired by the district attorney's office to head a new high profile case unit. He also has to try and balance his new job with raising his teenage daughter. So, you've got James Woods and his biting wit, you've got some awfully pretty ladies (Danielle Panabaker, Jeri Ryan and Sarah Carter, who play Woods's daughter, the District Attorney and one of Woods's team respectively) and you've got a pretty good setup to boot. Three or four episodes in, and I'm really liking it. Besides, I've gotta get my weekly amount of "asshole male lead in a drama series," especially since House and Justice are being postponed until after the MLB Playoffs. Standoff too. Stupid baseball, and it's playoffs with nobody I care about in 'em.

Oh, and I guess I might as well mention work while I'm at it. I recently started a new job, after missing out on that marketing assistant position. Oh, I almost forgot, I was passed over for that marketing assistant position that was made out of my old job. I was a little bitter at first, but I've come to see that this was a good thing. Now, I'm working in programming directly under the station manager (where we don't have to worry about making the money, we get to have the fun of spending it). I'm now a member of the Communications Team, meaning that I help with outreach events and I help maintain and update content on the website. Best part is, there is a plan in the works to make me full time and get me a laptop and everything. The laptop part came about because I'm sharing a desk with one of our night announcers, and since I'm going to be doing web stuff, my boss wants me to have my own computer. But two computers won't really fit that well at the desk, so my boss wants me to have my own computer, one which would be small and I would be able to set up from the get-go. Admin access and all that jazz. I'm no longer in my little closet office, but the cubicle isn't bad. I get to yell across the room to ask people questions, and there's a giant window across the back of the area. It doesn't overlook downtown, which was nice over in underwriting, but I mean dang, it's
big. So yeah, I'm really enjoying this new position. Which I should be getting back to.

P.S. The test didn't really work as well as I had hoped. Outlook ends up formatting in a weird way, and I have to go back in and fix it. Easier to just type it in directly, or rock out with some Notepad action. The more you know. *Doo dee doo doo*

I don't like Shark. As much as I like James Wood, I just can't get behind Shark. Even Danielle Panabaker isn't enough draw. I'm a huge Disney geek and she's one of their kidslaves.

I just happened to catch it one night, and it caught me enough to make me keep watching. James Woods for the hook, pretty ladies for the win. Besides, it gives me something to watch almost every day of the week. I think Saturday is the only day that I don't have anything on, and Sunday is the Venture Brothers. Well, until this Sunday, which is when the second season ends.
