...speaking of old ladies? My parents and grandmother and I took our annual trip for lunch in the town in Rhode Island where my mother grew up, which was nice. The weather was gorgeous and the food was excellent, as always.
Also, I've been trying to come up with a floor-covering solution for the cat's litter box area, because his aim is terrible, and I thought I had it just now at Staples: a 24x36 dry erase wall calendar. The price on the rack said $19, but it was a 2012 calendar, so I thought maybe it would be on sale. The guy scanned it, and it was $25! Which seemed riduculous, but since there's no Home Depot or similar that's easy for me to get to to buy a linoleum remnant, it might end up being my best option. Annoying!
Jz, them guys are not capable of learning. Wonder Woman could be the only thing between them and gruesome horrible deaths, and they'd be asking loudly when Superman was going to show up.
Dammit, I found one thing that was wrong, but it's not *the* thing that's wrong. An hour past when I wanted and....dammit! Our remaining problem is something that was 50-50--we had a choice of two servers to bring up last night, and we brought up the wrong one. If we'd brought up the correctly configured one, I'd have solved the only problem, looked like a hero, and made it to worship at the altar of JGL.

Oh, look--Better off Ted. I've heard good things about this...
Jesse, there are floor mats that big that might work - these are LL Bean and pricy [link] , but BloodBath and Beyond has similar stuff for a lot less.
I use a cheap rug, because my cats don't miss the box, but they throw litter around all over the place, and I have to sweep less if I put a rug by the boxes.
Jesse, I would try talking Staples down. Since McPhee started NO CAT PEE ON THE FLOOR!!! I finally got them using the new litter box, but she has scrubbed the floor within an inch of its life.
I had a problem with Penny and Dean flinging cat litter every where and occasionally missing and then I got 2 of these giant litter boxes [link]
I've had great success with this top-entry style litter box [link]
There's zero possibility of missing, and for the most part, they walk on the lid, which helps knock off extra litter, so I just have to do a quick sweep with the dust pan every now and then.
Okay, now this guy is pissing me way the fuck off, to the point where I've just about run out of words beyond FEMINIST HULK SMASH. If someone else wants to go in and eviscerate him, it would be a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
I waded in, but I doubt I'll keep my toes in for long. I don't think anything will get through to that guy. You and ita are both rock stars in that whole discussion.

Oh, that's interesting! Maybe I should take the voyage to the shopping center that has Home Depot, BB&B, AND Target. And I just realized that it's more convenient than I thought, because I don't actually have to go to my old neighborhood to get there. That may just be a plan.

I probably could have brought it to a manager, but wasn't in the mood. The guy who looked it up for me thought it was WTF-y as well, but couldn't do anything about.
Here's a fun glimpse of my workplace. [link]
