Are You Ready for Some Robots in Disguise?

Are You Ready for Some Robots in Disguise?

This morning I came to the office and I noticed that my toys were moved around to simulate a Autobot/Decepticon football scrimmage. I assume that someone was sitting at me desk and looked at Thundercracker’s stance and say to themselves, “That guy looks like he is doing the Heisman, I think I’ll create a football scene.” I have to admit that was one of the more clever scenes that I have walked in to see on my desk.

But I moved the figures around a little bit because I really wanted to get a photo of the movie ticket from Tonight’s Pre-Screening of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen that Allison and I are going to go see TONIGHT! Yes that is right, Transformers Week for me starts with a Free Pre-Screening of the movie at the AMC in Boston, That is the theater where Allison and I went to see the advanced showing of Serenity back in 2005.

I’m still going to go see Transformers 2 at the IMAX in Natick on Wednesday and as luck would have it I’m meeting up with Lenny at Kelly’s Roast Beef before the show. Transformers week also includes picking up the Transformers 2 video game for the Wii. Yeah I am pretty excited about that one as well. Oh and on Thursday Allison and I are seeing the Caribbean crooner himself, the honorable Jimmy Buffett. I picked up some Nilla Wafers some chocolate covered cookies and some frosting and I’m going to attempt to make cheeseburger in paradise mini cookies. That is if I can tear myself away from the Transformers game. Wish me luck

Here the Autobots are advancing upon me from my desk. I have my little army set up in their respective factions, Autobot vs. Decepticon. I took most of my toys home when I moved desks but decided that a little room could be spared for my Robot Heroes. They are one of the more fun toys to collect from Hasbro because they are G1 themed Transformers. I am pretty much only going to get G1 themed Transformers toys form now on, if I get them at all. I waited for a while till major sales and clearances started happening and I picked up a few more of the Transformers Universe characters like Springer, Ratbat and Onslaught.

Depicted in the picture here we have Mirage, Hound, Sunstreaker, Bumblebee, Arcee, Blaster, Ironhide (hidden by Hound’s arm), Jazz (behind Ironhide), Grimlock, Ultra Magnus, Hotrod, and two Optimus Primes (One holding the matrix).

But today is not about toys it was about getting down to business. I just learned that more responsibilities will be coming my way at work and so I am mentally getting myself back into shape to be a more productive employee. I am also taking time to read some of the books that grace my desk and learn how I can apply what is in each book to both my job and to my blogs. Today I started reading Combinations by Ed Gerety. Each morning I will read a chapter as I eat breakfast, and then I will pick out what I learned from the reading and share it.
