    Pussy.
    All you need is a sink, a sprayer, cat shampoo (I like Pet Head because it makes them smell handsome), a sweatshirt, towels, and arm muscles. Ever wrestled 18lbs of resistant cat muscle. Bazinga, bitches.

    My exact complaint first day on the job. Trust me, though... big difference between Arabs and Afghans/Pakistanis. You guys argue and swear as soon as the actual negotiation starts, but people from my region will negotiate calmy while using arguments completely outside of the realms of logic. So far outside, they get frequent flyer points for passing the Death Star.

    I have "quit" (I'm a contractor for both, so I just said "Don't sign me up for anymore work") both jobs and when I finish up this week's surveys, it will be the last bit of travel I will do in awhile. Both bosses wished me well and I know I could go back to them if I needed too. The week after next starts my time learning the money side of running the shop and then a week later, cinn joins me as my co-worker.

    I'm still waiting for the ACME anvil to fall on my head.

    Word of advice... It's tough working with family/girlfriends/spouses. Make sure you keep time for your relationship and leave work at work, even if you were arguing at the office. Once you turn the car on, work is over. Don't bring it into your house.

    Proud of ya man :)

    I work the evening shift tonight, but I'm really happy to have the morning shift tomorrow and Wednesday. I love going to work and being home by 1:30 in the afternoon. You almost feel like you have the whole day left.

    Yeah, cinn and I have talked about this. I look at it this way, even if we go 3 months working together and hate it, she has three months "admin assistant" experience. She will learn quickbooks (POS and admin side) and work heavily in excel files. That will get her a desk job at a company in town. I then hire someone else to do the job and we move on. I'm not going to let this kill our relationship.

    I didn't assume you would... I was just throwin' it out there because it creates a whole new world of stress factors. You'll be fine :)

    Replace sink with tub (sink isn't big enough) and sprayer with cup (no sprayer here) and you've got my technique down.

    The trick is just knowing how to control them. A firm grip on the back of the neck equals one docile if unhappy kitty.

    a lovely dinner entailed wine then insomnia entailed a a slow day entailed bumping into this clip.
    maybe there's a meaning to that.
    i don't know what it is.
     
  13. My coworker forwarded me an email she got from a listserv she's on. The lady was responding to an email about talking to students. The guy was trying to be cool and hip by using lingo that kids use these days. The woman did NOT get that!

    Hee hee heeeeee

    Heh. If I gave mine the extra space of the tub, they'd be running all over the place. Faust will usually tolerate it with some indignancy if he can put his feet up on the sink divider. I think he might think he's getting away to something. Bengals are supposed to like water. Mac will stand in the shower as long as he's not directly in the spray. He'll stand in the tub while it's filling up until his feet get too wet. Wimps.

    Ruff hates the bath and will try to climb up the sides of the tub. Fortunately, it's too slick. I try not to bathe her unless I have to. Sometimes she gets dry skin and so she needs her oatmeal shampoo. Tumble needs a bath once a month or so because of her longer hair. She's much more docile than her sister, but she still doesn't enjoy it. She mrrrrows the whole time, and when I release her from the bathroom after the kitty water torture, her sister is sitting right there like, "Mooom, WTF did you doooo to Tumble!?"

  17. One of my four weekly labs this week moved to being due next week? Yes please.

    Maybe now I'll get some breathing room.

    There is a fine line between fishing and standing by a pond looking like an idiot.
