As The Girl reminded me on the phone today, this is exactly why I have a probationary period in my contracts.

36 hours later, and it's starting to hit me: my God, I do have a very cool job! (now, if only these ex-professors were more efficient... I need some data to work with! Data I cannot have until they'll reply my emails!). No complains, though, but they will have to get used to me and my tendency to work with fixed deadlines.
Ah, the irony!

Yay, Shir! Good luck getting those e-mail responses.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Yay, Shir of the cool job!

She wears fluorescent green sweatshirts, eats cold pizza, chooses to live in an environment that would be better suited to a barn animal, and is a dog person. Not sure 'wise' is quite right. (But she is lovely.)

t laughs helplessly at the combination of the words "professors" and "efficient"

Except for the fluorescent green, she sounds wise to me.

It's supposedly 65 degrees outside, but I am COLD today, and tempted to turn on my heat....hrm...

Would a Petco or Petsmart carry the Cat Attract litter? I switched litter brands recently (got tired of dealing with how much the old brand tracked), and things have not been going well despite trying to transition the cat gradually.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I built a small trial fire in the woodstove yesterday to see if I`d cleaned it properly. Turns out, yes, because three logs burned all day. It was 63 in the house when I started it! It was perfectly reasonable to start a fire! But yeah, I guess I don`t really need them yet. I think I`ll still remove and clean under the firebricks, maybe tomorrow. Still have woodshed work today, as yesterday I got to a certain point and then needed input.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Anne, i found it at a small neighborhood store so i would assume that the big chains would carry it. if not the actual bags of cat attract litter, then maybe the smaller canisters of additive that you can mix in with any other kind of litter.
eta: both chain websites says that they carry the litter, pestmart also carries the additive

Thank you, e_o. Alas, a trip to Petco showed that while they do carry it, they are out at the moment. So I picked up a small bag of the old, tracks-everywhere litter, figuring I'd be better off sweeping up particles than try to scrub pee.
