The local stray rescue group here has a fostering program for geriatric and terminally ill animals so that they can have just that - a final year or two in a comfortable, loving home.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
it just seems like such an obvious call to get a pet from the pound.
I got my previous cat from a kill shelter. It made me very happy thinking I saved one. Current cat came from a no kill shelter. Honestly, I don't really care as long as people adopt from shelters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I cried too!
Not about the pets, though. About my job. And because my boss was yelling at me.
Good times, good times. Like, fucking meltdown in his office.
Cut to the end, and everything's reasonably fine (the thing I did to get yelled at was done ambitiously, not shoddily--I overstepped my bounds, but I didn't drop the ball), but I have been being terribly managed AND I HOPE HE GETS THAT. Because he's getting some weird sorts of complaints about me that don't make sense. How can my manager be having a hard time getting me to do what she wants WHEN I'VE ALREADY DONE EVERYTHING SHE ASKED BEFORE SHE SAID IT?
Oh, and he yelled at me for not realising that my new developer wasn't competent. For real? I have to plan around the fact she sucks? I had better not ever be fired, let me just say.
However, the basis was, I've only been displaying flashes of brilliance since the project from hell, and he can't work out why. I told him that shit was just confusing as hell, and gave him some examples, and told him I wanted it to be like the project from hell again. I asked him how to wipe my slate clean and start again right on Monday.
And also I cried and had to wipe my nose with a paper towel.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry this is sucking so much, ita !.
Ion, I am on my way to Minneapolis. Tomorrow I go to Alexandria, MN for my uncle's 85th birthday.

That is miserable and unfair, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh ugh, ita. I hope things shape up around you!
