Well, 2011 is at least starting on a good note. I just ran the numbers and I think my bonus (the first in 4 years), will be about 25% of my salary, mostly due to my own project. It at least makes all the late nights and sales trips feel worth it. Now, I just have to last through March to get it.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

He's definitely a pet person. And practical is not a word that I'd use in conjunction with most pets, esp. mine. She's definitely a luxury item. And she makes me happy.
Maybe start a hunt for a super cute collar?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not a pet person, so that might be why I completely don't get how you can value a pet but not want to take simple (and I'm not talking chipping, just wearing ID) step to protect an animal that's apparently at risk of wandering.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, megan! That'll be nice - hope you can hang in there through March.
I think chipping the critters is probably a good idea, but I haven't done it. The cats do wander, and Walter will take off and roam the neighborhood if given the opportunity (I put a lot of effort into not giving him the opportunity, but...border collie brains) Maybe once Wednesday's new kitten vet stuff is done, which will actually be soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My cat was chipped as a kitten by the ASPCA, I guess, but I also guess that means it's useless now? Because I don't think the chip knows who I am, and it definitely doesn't know where I live.

That's awesome, megan. You can totally hang in there until March.
We put a collar on Switch and he's never even acted like he notices it. We put one on Cortez, the stray who adopted us, and it lasted maybe a month before he worked it off. He's completely mellow about everything, apparently, but wearing something.

I know I can, I just wouldn't put it past them to get me out beforehand because they know I want to leave anyway.

Art Crawl!!!
Jesse, I think you can get in touch with the maker of the chip and have your details updated. If you don't know who made the chip - get in touch with the ASPCA. They should have the information. Or just ask you vet to scan your cat the next time you go in - that should get you the information you need too,

Oh! Well, none of that, megan's work!
