Want To Watch A Movie?
Bill and I have agreed (for research purposes) to watch more movies with a holiday theme. This is our first one and, boy, it’s an oldie but a goodie …. a true classic with one of my favorite actors …. Jack Lemmon. It’s not exactly a holiday movie, but most of the drama unfolds during the Christmas season, which earns it a spot on my list. The Apartment, which won five Oscars (including Best Picture), follows a lonely insurance worker named C.C. Baxter (Lemmon). To climb up the corporate ladder, he starts to lend his Upper West Side apartment to company bosses who are having romantic affairs. However, things get complicated when Baxter learns that his own manager is hooking up with the woman he has feelings for. They don’t make them like this anymore. Here’s the trailer:
I’ll save you a seat. Enjoy the movie! 🎥 🍿 🥤

I Hated That Job Anyway
Written for Ovi Poetry Challenge 60.
‘Haste’ is our inspiration. Here’s my Ovi.
Haste makes waste, I’ve heard it said
Why get up? I’ll stay in bed
It’s August! The office is dead
Good day to sleep in
Push the snooze, catch more ZZ’s
How I wish I could make time freeze
Loll around doing as I please
I’m just so very tired
Phone is ringing off the hook
Guess I should go take a look
But instead I throw a book
My boss left a message
You forgot about the meeting
Future customer was seething
It’s too late now, he is leaving
You blew it, pal
Do not bother coming back
Forget your stuff; someone will pack
And one more thing, you’re fired Jack
Think I’ll catch forty winks
