Which part of your job do you find most enjoyable on a daily basis?

The part where I get to go home?  Nah, just kidding.

I like that my job continually changes.  Our work is project based, and every one is different.  Of course, there are processes that remain the same with every project, but the content is always different.

I also enjoy the culture of my company.  Its very laid back.  Nobody monitors you to make sure that you're in the office by 8.  I'd be in trouble if they did.  I listen to music and sometimes watch movies or tv shows while I work.  As long as I remain up to date on my work and contribute to the team, then that's not a problem.

All that being said, I've begun to consider going back to school.  UCA's Masters in Math Education is the program that I'm looking at.  Might start next summer if I decide to do it.  I've got to talk to my superiors to see if I can work it out to keep my job while I go to school.

When was the last time you cried?

Harry Potter spoiler warning!  Do not ready this post if you don't want to be spoiled!

I think these questions might be a good way for me to get back into blogging, so here goes:

The last time I cried was during my second reading of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  Yes, its silly because I knew what was going to happen, but I cried anyway.  First, I bawled all over again when Dobby died.  I think it was the saddest death in the book for me.  All the others at the end all come so quickly, but Dobby's comes as a surprise. Rowling's repeated use of words like tiny and small while Dobby is being buried doesn't make it any easier, either.  

I cried again when all the Weasleys are crying over Fred's body.  I mean, how could you not?  I knew one of the Weasleys would probably die since there are so many of them, but I was hoping it wasn't the twins.  And I wish they had both died or both lived   I continued crying for pretty much the rest of the book, but nothing compares to how I cried during the first read through when Dobby died.  I was on an airplane and sat there bawling.  People probably thought I was nuts.

Okay, some additions to my movie survey:

The Big Easy is one of my favorite movies and I've seen it many times.  You'll hear lines from it pretty much any time Kerry and I are in the same room.   Better, Kerry darling?

Derek is right, I do quote Twister all the way through, I've seen it that many times, so maybe it should go under the 'movie you've watched over and over.'  I honestly don't rememember walking out of Underworld 2.  Maybe it was awful and I've suppressed.  The first time I saw it was on mine and Derek's first date, so I definitely remember that one
