Fires

[ljplicease]

I was sad to hear that most of the props and scenery used by Aardmon productions (including Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run) were destroyed in a warehouse fire! Apparently the stuff from the most recent film survived unscathed, as it hadn't been cataloged and stored with the rest of everything yet. Apparently Nick Park was fairly philosophical about it, saying that he was glad that nobody was hurt and although it was a disappointment, compared to other recent tragedies (ie hurricanes and earthquakes) it was a mild setback.

Then, just now, Amanda was writing about "fiber-based silver contact prints" and I suddenly realized I hadn't printed anything myself for so long that I may have actually forgotten how. I haven't even talked to someone about photo geek stuff in forever. It would be nice to setup a dark room when I find a permanent place to live.

I saw my manager in the hall today and he's like, "uh.. hi... er." He was so uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but think what a moron my manager is. I wonder if he is uncomfortable because he is going to fire me, or something. Depending on the severance package I could be like "Please don't throw me in that briar patch!" Though I'm a little too nervous to expect something like that to work out.
