First blu-ray

TL;DR: The Joker is eager to help open my first blu-ray movie!

I got a blu-ray player several months ago but had yet to watch a blu-ray movie on it because blu-ray movies cost between 5 and 1000 dollars more then a regular dvd. Then Black Friday I get a tweet from amazon saying 'get the Blu-ray The Dark Knight for FIVE DOLLARS!' (I have free shipping with Amazon too. ) This movie was the reason I wanted blu-ray since all the bonus features were on it and not the regular dvd.

My latest Facebook picture. My mother says it really looks like me. I don't think my hair is that dark, but I suppose it is when its wet.

For months the cats have, for the most part, ignored my Lego sets on the high shelf. Last night that changed. Luckily it was only Pocket, who is light on her feet, and didn't knock anything over. Pudge, not so light on his feet, tried to follow her but I took him to a high shelf without Lego and he was content.

Sorry for the poor quality of this model I didn't have time to do it to scale or paint it.

Lego named as one of top 100 best companies to work for, for moms!

(And probably anyone really!)

From the working mother website:

"2010 Working Mother 100 Best Companies:

Family-friendly benefits and programs that help keep working moms' careers on track have moved forward in the 25 years since the launch of Working Mother's first Best Companies list. Now Working Mother 100 Best Companies offer programs that help all employees with their struggles to gain some work-life balance. "

(^^The whole list)

(^^The Lego entry)

Its a short read but here are some highlights:

100% of employees say they are proud to work there.

"Primary caregivers who give birth or adopt a child get 26 job-guaranteed weeks off, with 13 fully paid; all secondary caregivers receive four weeks off, with two fully paid."

(Note, dads get paid time off too!)

Also an onsite fitness center(This is talking about the HQ in Connecticut) that includes a massage therapist. I've lost track of how many stressful days I've had where I wish I could get a massage after work!

50% of the work force is women.

Being a woman and lifelong fan of Lego I'm proud I can support a company that isn't evil!
