Aww, Rose is bee-you-tee-full!

cereal: Aw, Rose!!! Have you considered getting Sadie too? (am a total bleeding heart for hard luck kitty stories)

I'm thinking that if things work out for me and Rose I may adopt Sadie. I was thinking it might be nice to have two cats. But for right now I'm just taking Rose.

Also Sadie wasn't at the pet adoption fair so I didn't get a chance to see her.

I am very tired and very hungry and they are not giving us meal breaks and I am light headed and woozy and I don't feel good, but I can't do anything because I like and want this job, and want to be asked back again (though I'm starting to have doubts that they will) but I'm tired and hungry and feeling very light headed and WTFF?

Ugh. Sorry to hear that they are treating you so poorly with regards to the hours.

Sean, also, here is a link to California Labor Law regarding meal breaks. They are in violation and it looks like they owe you even more money.

{{{Nora}}} I hope you feel better soon!

Rose looks like an awesome lap cat. And good for you for avoiding pushy salesmen. I don't like pushy. blah.

Sean, do they have a vending machine that you can raid for crackers or chocolate or something? Is there a 7-11 or such nearby that you can dash to on a 10 minute break? Woozy head is no good.

In preparation for my trip to DC area, I was looking at a metro card, and they have Obama Inauguration ones! So I bought it: [link] Yes. I am a geek. And if you are going to spend money on something for a trip AND have a memento, isn't that the best?

You know, Rose is already a Scifi Fan type name.

I hate Valentine's day...too many shitty ones. But I wouldn't mind if some special person wanted to change my mind about it.

Oh Sean, that's awful. I hope you get fed soon.

Also came online to share an instance of gallant gallows humor. Our local Senior center is very musical, lots of amateur and ex-professional musicians on both staff and among clients. So that movie about the senior rock n' roll choir inspired a decision to do something similar here. One of the attendees has Parkinsons and early stage Alzheimers. He immediately volunteered to join, saying "I'm perfectly qualified for the Keith Richards role".

So, they let me go get some food. I feel like needing/wanting food or breaks, plus my diminished performance is going to make them not ask me back. Like I just don't have what it takes to play at this level.

Umm needing food is going to make them not ask you back? I think that is the low blood sugar talking. I'll bet you've done great.
