I forgot to mention: new cat pictures on Down time. Kitten from Hell continues to find new ways to apply her expanding powers of wanton destruction. The most recent victim was a model of a cat that I had made and was inordinately fond of. A friend of mine (the one with nineteen cats) and…
Near as I can tell, my diary hasn’t been compromised. I’m waiting until Monday, and will then come back on line as Salamander. Until then, I’m busy taking care of odds and ends. May use this as an excuse to change the “look” of the place, if I can do so at home without the…
Just found out that my department is hiring someone. She starts in two weeks. She’ll be filling a new position that didn’t exist before she was hired. I am to be numbered among her other responsibilities. This means that I will no longer report directly to the big boss, but to her. That isn’t necessarily…
It never really occurred to me that anyone would notice my absence for a couple of days. Especially if I kept making comments. So when I started seeing my name in the title lines of people’s diary entries today I was taken aback a tad. At first I started making personal explanations as to what…

What a freaking, aggravating morning. Ah well, I’ll start off with the good news first, and maybe I’ll be in a better mood after I get it typed out. The Boss came through for me. I don’t need to use extra vacation days (that I don’t have) in order to go to California for Christmas….

You just pick colors you like. My results: You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like…
I’ve spent the morning working up a good head of depression. I don’t know yet if there’s anything to be bummed out about, but I figure I might as well beat the rush and sulk early, just in case it’s necessary. My work announced last week that we’re working Saturdays in December. The schedule they’ve…
Shay has a good point. How could a large mega-company force a small, privately held company to sell? Well, the rest of the story was like this. An executive from the mega-company in question was overheard saying in a public place that they would either purchase us, or grind us into the dirt. This company…
Got home slightly before the Professor this afternoon. I was greeted by: Two Piles of Kitten from Hell Vomit My favorite ear cuff on the carpet in the hallway The ribbons from my college diploma taken off their display in the bedroom and left under the dining room desk One of the Professor’s socks under…
