Randoms for today.

It is so hot here. River decided he needed to do his best Simba impression and be held up to the swamp cooler for cooling. Everything the cooler cools is your kingdom tiny cat.



I made some chicken in the crock pot last night for lunch and it is so spicy but so delicious.

I actually wore a dress to work today. But I decided it really needed some capri length leggings... I don't have capri length leggings, so I just hiked my long ones up. If I can get them to stay up, I'd be golden, but between the leggings falling down, and my tank underneath riding up I'm a mess.

It's disgustingly humid. I walk outside and feel sticky.

We met with a lawyer to get started on our wills and PF's special needs trust. Now we have the fun task of deciding guardian and trustee (if not the same person).

Not sure what to make of my interview yesterday. I got a good personal vibe from them but I'm not sure if I'm what they want experience wise.

I am so bored! The only thing I have to work on has a deadline two weeks away. I need more motivation than that! Two weeks, psssht. I'm bailing early so I can take our international intern to her new student housing. Hour and a half to go!

I'm on a conference call that makes me want to stab myself in the eye with a spork. This call happens on a weekly basis, but for some reason, they've scheduled them for every.goddamn.day.this.week.

It's over an hour of people yammering on about stupid, mindless bullshit. I usually say 4 words "[my location]'s are fully tested" while the other locations drone on for over an hour, picking shit apart and making excuses for why their shit isn't done.

Well, there's a director on today. She's calling them on all their shit and I'm audibly laughing at my desk. Here's a quote from her "I don't give a shit if it looks perfect on your computer. Everyone doesn't have your computer. Who died and told you that your computer is absolute perfection?"

Cue awkward silence as everyone struggles to make it look like they haven't just been avoiding everything for the past 6 months.

I am having the weirdest craving for broccoli. BROCCOLI. What has happened to me?!?

You're getting old.

I want a kitty.

[dixienormous]

I'm craving roasted cauliflower if that's any consolation.

and I have a kitty but I want another kitty. and a doggie.

[captainmel]

I want a sphynx hairless kitty. And a puppy. And a red tailed hawk.
Boyfriend says I can't have a hairless kitty because they're ugly and because you have to put sunscreen on them everyday. I feel like those conditions aren't that different from a baby.

I'm not a fan of a bald kitty. I want a Scottish Fold. and I want a Corgi and a Golden Retriever. I think a Golden would be good for PF. I know of several people who have SN kids and get dogs as therapy animals.

The weather is making me feel depressed.

[captainmel]

dixienormous, you can adopt one from doglove! PF would love a golden.

Sphnyx cats need to be bathed once a week. There's no fur to absorb their oils so they get all slippery.

You good with bathing a cat once a week? Or taking him/her to the groomer once a week?

I totally would be. It is a pretty abstract want because if we got another kitty it would probably be a shelter kitty. I am used to kitties that take a little bit of extra effort because River takes a lot of special attention because he has IBD.

 I would love to. H has decided (without talking to me about it) that when FatCat dies (in the not so distance future) we will never have another pet. Because H can't deal with going through losing one again. To which I called him a selfish idiot.

It'll be down the line, but I think that PF will benefit greatly from having a furry friend. Hell, her first two-word sentence was "hi, Cat!"

I'm giggling like a 12 year old boy at a slippery cat.

I was picturing the vegetable oil covered pigs that were released in my high school for the senior prank.

I just got back from vacation and am wondering if I will have Thursday and Friday off for the 4th. I am really hoping so. I would like to go hang at my parents on Friday and swim!

[captainmel]

dixienormous, my dad took that stance on pets for a year and a half and then he impulse brought home a puppy one day.

Cats are assholes.

I have nothing against Brazilians. I just don't like bald cats that meow.

And you liked FatCat. For the 5 seconds you saw his surly ass.

I want to hear more about your vacation. The little I know sounds jealousy inducing.

[cuddlyevil]

Made a mistake yesterday. Didn't realize it and got reamed today. It was all written up too.

Kind of worrying about whether or not I hurt wpc's feelings on Saturday. I may see him tomorrow--then I will know for sure.

Neon your trip sounds awesome.
