[OT] job update
Mark Edwards wrote:
On top of that, I have another contract starting right at the end of this one, although we are still in the investigation and drug test phase. Shouldn't be any problems, although I never really trust these things to be 100% accurate. You have to have a drug test to get a software contract? Sounds kind of extreme. I've worked in Silicon Valley and environs for 15 years and have never taken a drug test. Also, I really wish I could find someone local to adopt Blacky, the sweet, adorable black boy cat who comes to our door to be fed. He's about three years old and so sweetly affectionate, that I really hate not letting him in during the cold weather. He hissspits at the other cats, though. I have to stop and think for a moment to remember who's who in your household. There's Little Feet and Little Boy, and there's Buster and Bucky (yeah, I know, Bucky isn't "officially" a household member, uh huh), and there's Dulce Mae. And then there's Blacky. Let's see, have I forgotten anyone? He loves nothing more than to be cuddled, is free with headbutts and purrs, and seems to be VERY intelligent (for instance, he KNOWS what a doorknob is, if not quite how to use it - but he's working on it - grin). He sounds adorable. Joyce |

Nope, that's it (crossing fingers). I do, occasionally, manage to adopt out a stray (Rusty, Spot, the miraculous Bubba Kitty for instance), so I have hopes for Blackie and Bucky. And yes, Blackie is heart-tuggingly adorable. I would take him in a heartbeat if I wasn't already overpopulated and if he didn't threaten the other cats. It breaks my heart to leave him outside in the cold when he so obviously wants to be adopted. Awww, that's so sad! I hope that he can somehow find a forever home. |

I agree - it is extreme, and intensely annoying. Especially when you have to spend a couple of otherwise billable hours at a "testing facility". Ha. You ought to bill them for that time! This last time was a hair snip sample. I hope they don't find that I died of arsenic poisoning, like Napolean (grin). I don't think your DNA will tell them anything about how you, er, "died". (Is there something about yourself you'd like to share with us? ) Nope, that's it (crossing fingers).

It breaks my heart to leave him outside in the cold when he so obviously wants to be adopted. Oh, that is really sad! Poor Blackie. Is there a separate room you could let him sleep in on the really cold nights? He wouldn't get as much company as he might like, but at least he wouldn't freeze. Purrs!! Joyce |
