I got taken to lunch today by the boss. was nervous at first (since the letting people go thing has started), but it was good. yummy free food. Then came back to a gift card from all the managers. YAY! last year = nothing. this year = 2 lunches and a gift card FTW.
the giftcard will be paying down debt, but still.
Nice! (My department got invited to lunch by the CEO next month, and I said that's nice -- as long as we all aren't getting fired!)
Pictures from a cat show.
So many of those cats have a "you will pay for this ... you will pay and pay and pay" look.
Some cats at a cat show just enjoy all the attention, but I have no idea what % of show cats this is true for.
eta: There are some beautiful Oriental cats there (Orientals look like Siamese, but with different coloring.) Also, the famous "I can has cheeseburger?" cat seems to be there.
The big black demonic ball of fluff cat looks like a great bed-heater cat.
Fifth pic down has the BEST "you'll all pay" expression.
Argh! I fear BatCat!
The long-faced cat three above him is also quite terrifying.
I'm on the balcony at work, drinking a cold Diet Dr. Pepper and enoying the wireless and the weather.
My life doesn't suck too hard today.
I'm a mean cat-mama right now because we just got back from the vet's office. At least she now has her checkup for the year, her distemper shot, and her semi-quarterly claw trimming out of the way, but boy, she was complaining at full volume all the while! On the way out to the car, I passed by three neighbors and the postman who all looked at the carrier and the loud animal within with pity for both me and her.
And it's strange how the horrible carrier turns into a refuge while we're in the waiting room for the vet. She immediately leapt down from the examining table to the floor and scratched to get into the carrier after the nurse left. It took her a few minutes of the comfy darkness before she ventured out to explore the room and rub her chin against the cabinets. She was on her way to climbing in the sink when the vet showed up.
