Bathing Cats and Employment!

Issue Date: Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2003

Morning conversation with Mister:

Me: Max may be allergic to this colder weather or something because he has a little bit of the �tail where it attaches to the back� area dandruff.

Mister: Really? Well, have you bathed him lately?

No. I mean, I have never bathed a cat in my life.

[all shocked like] You haven�t?

Um, no. Our family cat, Lucy, was with us for uh�. 16 years or so and she never had a bath � ever.

Well, maybe you should give Boo [Max] a bath.

I wouldn�t even know where to begin my love. Maybe Maxxie has the allergies because he is more of a pure bred cat and Lucy was more mutt-like with none of the kitty dandruff/allergy stuff�.. Hmmmm

Well, from what I understand it is sort of the same concept of washing or bathing babies.

Babies huh?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, � well, you put them in a bucket�

[I interrupt braying laughter.] Inna bucket? -snort- Heh, you bathe babies in a bucket?

No no no no� you bathe cats in a bucket�.

Heh heh, inna bucket� [I had the thought for a marketing ploy � �Bucket O� Baby� and continued to laugh]

[Mister continues over my chortling with a sound explanation] No, sheesh, you put cats in a bucket with warm water, but make sure their little front paws are on the edge of the bucket so they feel safe�.

Maybe I�ll just call PetCo to see if they do kitty grooming.

Why? You don�t want Boo-kitty to associate you with him getting a bath?

No, not really, and I also would like to keep my skin in one piece.

He doesn�t have front claws anymore.

Nope, but he still has a mouth full of sharp teeth.

�. Ooooh, Lookit what�s on the History Channel�.

************************************

So, I am going to call PetCo today to see if they do cat grooming. I have some reservations about giving him a bath because I don�t want to mess up the �natural order� of things, yanno?

In other news, I GOT A FRIGGIN JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rockin! Woo Hoo! Yay!

I start next Monday. I am so pumped!!!!!!!!

I get this whole week to get my stuff in order. I have the Thanksgiving Holiday to spend with my family� and then I go back to work on Monday. God Bless a friend of mine. She and I were on the same committee for planning a convention once a year for a local chapter of Association Executives. I won�t mention the whole thing here, would hate to be found via Google on that. Annnnnnnnnyway� when we had the wrap-up meeting a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was looking for employment.

Bada-bing, Bada-boom.

She called me later that week and asked what I was looking for. I told her Association work, mainly event or meeting planning. She said that she knew of a company looking for someone. Several interviews ensued and POW! I got the job!

The match is perfect!

I could not be anymore excited!

Thank all of you who sent me notes, comments and emails (phone calls too) of encouragement. I really appreciate all of the positive reinforcement. Thank you.

Have a great Tuesday and be Thankful for your loved ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Note to self. You are such a dork. I just sent out my notify that a new update was on the way and I actually took a glance at the list of notify-ers. My old work email was on there so I could make sure the notify list was really working. Yes, I am a dumb ass. No, I don�t need to be reminded. There really was a reason for it. When I first started my diary, nothing worked correctly. I removed that email address just now. JUST NOW. All emails that didn�t go to myself, my co-worker or my boss at my old job went directly into my boss�s email bin. The reason for this explanation is that: I have updated twice since I was let go. I am sure that hand-boss is receiving the �update notify� information. A Direct link to my diary.

If you are here ex-boss, please note that you are reading my personal thoughts that were written in during my personal time.. Please leave. Thank you.
