Sherlock

Sherlock Holmes is a great man. And I think one day--if we’re very, very lucky--he might even be a good one.

EB recommended I watch Sherlock, BBC’s modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. I added it to my Netflix queue awhile ago and it finally came up. The first series (or season, depending on where you’re from) has 3 90-minute episodes.

The shooting style is very visually appealing and the London backdrop is beautiful! (I miss London so much!)

My replacement

So, it’s been almost a year since I’ve quit my job. (I can’t believe it’s been that long!) When I first left, I was very curious of my replacement—whether she was doing well or not. Some of my former coworkers have said she was no me. After several months, I figured she was doing well as I hadn’t heard any complaints about her.

I feel really bad for her, as she’s almost a year in and they’ve waited this long to let her go. If they had so many problems with her, they should’ve addressed it with her sooner or trained her. OR, maybe they shouldn’t have hired her at all!
