On saturday, we met up with some old coworkers, who I'll refer to as Still Employed with my Old Company (SEWMOC) and Will Quit Soon (WQS). I didn't actually learn of WQS's feelings until saturday, though I would have originally predicted 2 years more tops. In general, I learned about what's gone on there the past week and how things are changing. It seems that people are scared for their jobs now, but I personally feel like no one else there will lose their job like I did. I hope so at least.
We were at one of Uptown's many Thai restaurants. I don't know about you, but I like the Thai style of eating with a spoon and fork. It just so much more convenient when rice is involved, you know?
Surprisingly, SEWMOC and WQS paid for me and my wife. My old coworker insisted on paying for my lunch on Friday, so that's been kind of weird.
We next went to a bar in Uptown. This place has quickly become one of my favorite places in the twin cities. I won't name it mainly because one of the cool things about it is that it's not crowded, though I'd feel bad if it went out of business. Hanging out there was cool and we were there so long we decided to see the midnight show at the Uptown theater, which is always a good time. My wife and I once saw the movie Clue and there were so many groups dressed up.
The midnight show was Shaun of the Dead. SEWMOC and WQS hadn't seen it before. SEWMOC really liked it, but WQS had trouble staying awake. And we had even stopped at Zeno for coffee before going to the Uptown. I had no trouble staying up. If you haven't seen it, go see it. Also, Bill Hader was on the Sports Guy podcast, the BS report, recently and nominated it for best comedy of the 2000s. So that's a pretty good comedy endorsement. I would also recommend Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's show Spaced and their other movie Hot Fuzz.
