Oh, poor Teddy. I have no advice Fred Pete, but I hope it works out.

askye, much jobma to you.

Fred, I know it's different, but we pretty much had to let Toto and Bastet work it out. It's weird, because with dogs, Toto is usually the more aggressive, but he totally submits to Bastet. They pretty much ignore each other now. Hopefully, your cats can get to the same point.

I'll ask my bro and SIL what they did with their two cats for you too. Schicci was NOT happy when Thisby came home. After they'd had Thisby for a couple of weeks, we all got this picture of the two cats "getting along." It was of the two of them on the dining room table - on opposite sides. It was so cute and so funny.

AS had her interview this morning, it sounds like it went badly. She felt like one of the interviewers just took a dislike to her right off the bat.

FWIW, Christopher had one of his interviewers act like a complete asshole to him when he interviewed at current job. The guy acted totally unprofessional. When he met me afterwards, he told me there was no way he was getting the job. He was wrong. I hope AS isn't too discouraged.

I wonder if the situation is a "good cop/bad cop" scenerio, seeing how the interviewee handles inappropriate statements.

Not saying it's a valid tactic, just that interviewers get some weird notions into their heads...

Some people are just crappy interviewers, too.

I wanna ask an applicant at an interview, "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"

A friend of mine got that question, but when she was applying to a housing co-op.

Also, some people suck.

tommyrot, I go some ways in that direction.

I pay attention to hobby listings on resumes. If you list "reading," I will ask if you've read any good books lately.

Christopher tries to disarm these people by making valid answers that seem eccentric. Example: When this guy asked about his hobbies, Christopher said he was hoping to start training for the lumberjack olympics. It's just believable enough not to provoke an argument and funny enough to move the conversation into a direction he can control.

Gronklies.

I love Sail and lisah's hair. Yum. Pretty hair for all!

{{{{Maria}}}} I'm glad you still have your job, but I wish you weren't so stressed. Poor darling.

Jen, you and YC-w sound so cute!!! Yay.

bt, I'm sorry for AS's un-fun interview. Also? You are so doomed, dude.

Kristin! Yay! Glad to hear from you, sorry the school is a little overly stressful.

job~ma for askye.

I'd like to be the Nine of Pentacles, if I may. I may borrow one of Kenny Parker's smaller raptors to complete my pose.

I would pay good money to see that.

Fred, my boycats still beat the heck out of each other on occasion. I still put a little tuna juice on each of their heads, so they'll lick each other peacefully. I also try hard to monitor the situation, and keep Damien's (the primary aggressor) claws clipped short.

Hi there. The game last night was fun. My heart leapt into my mouth a little when Ichiro frelled his knee (or whatever he did when he was at bat). The Metrodome still sucks, but I'm not happy about having to pay for a new stadium. I asked a lot of very basic questions, and thankfully my friends (and husband) are very patient with me. It was all right. I think I'd prefer to go to a Saints (bush league) game, though. More goofiness abounding.

Great idea! Teddy isn't as fond of fish, but of course we can substitute something chicken-related for him to lick.

We're monitoring. Max's previous humans declawed him in front, so claws should only be a problem if Teddy decides to use his.
