If anybody is into war films, I just got done watching a movie called The Forgotten Battle on Netflix. I thought it was very well done. It's filmed pretty much like how the movie Dunkirk was made.

That there have been no new tool semi truck kits in a good while, now. I was thinking to myself that it would be nice to see some new trucks, but I guess there really isn't a market for any manufacturer to invest in it. Or, if there is, the licensing is too much. Pity.

I really envy the ones who can get those cabs together so well. So far, that is my Achilles Heel when it comes to Italeri kits. You did an incredible job on yours! I love the color choice!

I thought the truck that Foxx drives looked pretty cool! If I can find a kit and tires and rims like those on his truck. I would like to build one like his, but in black.

I was recommended a movie called Threads. Kind of like a fact based horror movie of what a nuclear apocalypse would look like if it actually happened. Set in Great Britain around the early 80's. Gives a very chilling look at what might have been if the Cold War turned hot. I'm usually not the type that gets squeamish, but this movie made me a little uncomfortable.

Two other cats. One appropriately named Garfield and a calico named Callie. They're 5 years old. But, I've had Whiskers since 2007. I love my other two cats, but not as much as Whiskers. He was by my side through some extremely dark times in my life.

Whiskers. Sure gonna miss his nose kisses and little head butts.

My beautiful cat went to kitty heaven this morning.

Saw The Batman yesterday. Makes the Christan Bale movies look like soap opras. I had my doubts about Robert Pattinson at first, but I was very delighted at how he portrayed the character. Better than I expected.

The Girl Next Door. Very disturbing and honestly made me sick to know there are people out there who can do that to children. I cried at the end. A very powerful movie. It's not for weak stomachs.

Looks great! I love the regular stance! Looks just right!

After being told my hours were being cut, my job decided I could start getting my usual hours again. Also got myself a nice little Christmas present for me.

It does seem really odd. Given how much money the company makes, they can more than afford new equipment. More than likely, they are over their budget for the quarter and need to trim down wherever they can. If that's the case, why couldn't they have just told us that, instead?

Well, I found out why the hours were cut. They're trying to free up funds to buy new equipment. I was told that cutting hours back frees up enough to purchase about half of the equipment we use. I work in inventory at a distribution facility. So, I'm okay with that as it is necessary for the job. If the cutback in hours is permanent, though, I'll have to look elsewhere for employment. Still, they could of used the funds that was used on the game to go towards the equipment.

My job cut my hours back below 40 for the week, citing budget constraints. Cut almost $400 from my paycheck. Today, they put an arcade style game in the breakroom. I confronted them about it and was told that the game was cheaper. So, I'm trying to put food on my table and pay bills. Barely making enough to do that. Cut my paycheck almost in half. But, at least I can play hoops while on my break.
