A shitty First Day Back after the holidays

edited January 2007 in Social Entropy++
Fuck fuck the 2nd of January, the first day back to being a wage slave after vacation for the holidays. To help spur on the economy, we all fuck off and look through countless emails, drink coffee, and pretend we are still not feeling the effects of drinking too much on New Years Eve.

So, who is going to entertain me today while I read through my Far Side desk calendar and fill out my NFL play-off pool? I wish I could be off a few more days to play WoW, Medieval 2, and Guitar Hero 2 while lounging around the house in my underwear.

    Hey, at least it's a short week. I'm sorely regretting not asking for a day or two off, but I think I can manage to be a wage slave for 4 days.

    It's odd though, I always go into short weeks feeling that it's going to be awesome, but it's not like I have less work to do. It's just 5 days of work done in 4, and yet here I am thinking it's going to be a great week.

    Yeah, that's how it's going for me, too. But to make it worse, I was up all night on New Year's Eve. So I slept until like 1 in the afternoon yesterday. Then I was completely unable to sleep last night. So today I'm still feeling rather "off" from the drinking, and I'm running on no fucking sleep.

    I freely admit that I have no one to blame but myself. Now I'm going to nap in front of my computer.

    I slept pretty poorly last night, but I'm set for the day. I haven't had a cigarette in roughly 24 hours, though I might start weaning myself to one cigarette a day for the next couple of weeks, then be completely smokeless by February.

    Gonna go to work and be fucking bored out of my mind in like 10 minutes. I've gotta rearrange fucking gay deskspace in the back of one of the offices.

    I'd be surprised if you could lift one, let alone catch me!

    Yeah I'm stuck working today as well. It's pretty quiet though, so I get to jab you with insults while I'm not on a call or talking to my girl.

    Fucking cat pissed on the couch. That's twice. Now we have to kill him. It's a shame, I liked this cat. He was my little gray buddy.

    My cat did that and it was just a urinary track infection. I still wanted to kill her, but the wife wouldn't let me.

    Yeah I'm hoping the vet will find something like that. Neither one of us wants to kill him. But Kate saw him the first time, he jumped over her, sat right next to her, and just peed into the crack between cushions. She said it looked really deliberate.

    The vet said that the cat litter iritates the animal when they have an infection so they go on rugs, couches, chairs, etc. Our cat did the same thing. Walked past me, jumped up on the couch, and just pissed dead center into the cushion.

    They'll do it when there's some other irritant as well. If something is out of place or missing, dogs and cats will mark wherever the highest points of human traffic are: bed, couch and chairs.

    Also, I am with you, Hunter. I get to spend Wednesday and Thursday in a training class to learn something I already know. Today is just a reoreintation from drinking enough to kill a steer. Friday will be a blow-off day, a simple countdown until 6 p.m. wherein I celebrate the 29th year of my life. It could get messy.

    Actually, there are two cats in here. But they are usually well-behaved.

    Yeah the first time he did it, he was acting freaked out about something all day. Nothing was noticably wrong, but he was acting weird. Kate says he's done this before, like, years ago or something, and he was checked out and had no physical problems. We've had him here for about a year without incident and he has moved to a few different apartments, but has been with us for a while. We moved like three weeks ago and then this happened. Then he started acting normal for a day or two, and then this morning the couch is wet right in the middle of the cushions again.

    I really don't want to have to get rid of him or have him killed. He is a nice little guy. And Kate's sad about it. Man, I hope he's got a UTI.

    I don't get why you have to kill it.

    I mean

    My cat jumps on the table all the time so I have to tap her on the base of the neck and raise my voice a little, and it learns its lesson and rarely goes on the table.
    I don't have to kill it to teach it a lesson

    It's rare, but sometimes a pet will exhibit a particular behavior that is a sign of something much worse. If Defender's cat behaved normally before this (except for the one time) and goes back to normal activity after this, then it's probably a UTI or something simple like a weird smell to which the cat isn't accustomed. Sometimes a pet will eat something that has a major affect on it's physiology (i.e. hazmat) and it can change the animal's personality for the long haul, like when owners of pit bulls will incorporate strychnine into the dog's diet; the animal becomes more aggressive and eventually insane.

    Domesticated cats are creatures of ingrained habit and good hygeine, generally speaking. When something like this happens, it means you should sit up and take notice.

    So here at work we have two "franchise" websites that both run overnight and rebuild themselves based on templates. We're trying to make them run off one universal template to save hassle, time and energy when it comes to adding new features, as they're basically the same site just with different text..

    This morning at about 9:30 I uploaded one sites template to the other and vice-versa.

    I've spent the day after that picking up the pieces of a catastrophic failure and still have a huge amount to do tomorrow.

    Welcome to 2007.

    Hope you enjoy your stay :(

    It seems like a strange decision.

    We have had 2 cats in our house and both have randomely went on strange pissing crusades after years of normal litter box use.

    Cat A ended up having a golf ball sized tumor growing in her belly that was pushing all her little kitty organs around. We couldn't shrink it with drug treatments and it ended up being cancerous. She was put down.

    Cat B did this and it ended up being a urinary tract infection. Antibiotics and a few days in the laundry room with a litter box full of shredded news paper cleared this right up.

    Either way, having a cat pissing all over the house is not a healthy environment for anyone.
