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 havent?
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 wouldnt 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 Ill just call PetCo to see if they do kitty grooming.
Why? You dont 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 doesnt have front claws anymore.
Nope, but he still has a mouth full of sharp teeth.
. Ooooh, Lookit whats 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 dont 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 wont 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 dont 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 didnt go to myself, my co-worker or my boss at my old job went directly into my bosss 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.
