Thoughts on the Day

  • I seem to have caught Roberta X’s cold.  
    • Pretty amazing, considering we’ve never met face to face.
  • Nothing says “Hi honey! I’m glad you’re home!  I love you!” like saying “The dogs have been outside in the rain all day, the hose has another hole chewed in it, and I have to go get on a phone call and make dinner.”.
    • Bluegrass ran from the evil jet of cold water.  I had to drag her over to the hose and spray her down like a horse.  A horse that shakes cold water and gray mud all over me every time the hose hits her pelt.
    • Moonshine thought it was a game.  He’d run past me, I’d spray him for a few seconds.  He’d shake, we’d repeat the process.
    • By the time I was done, I was as wet as the dogs and couldn’t see through my glasses anymore.
  • Siamese cats do not like cold rain storms.  They are  quite vocal in their displeasure, especially when they are steam-rolled into a mud puddle by a black labrador.
    • I’ll have to post a guard on Moonshine for the next few nights, for I am sure that Koshka has vowed vengeance in a rather toothy manner.
  • Is it a bad thing when a co-worker shouts out “Who’s on call tonight?”?
    • It seems he was expecting trouble, and wanted to make sure I knew that if something goes pear-shaped, I am to call management immediately.
    • I responded by making sure the pager is on my nightstand and set to an annoying sound pattern that is sure to wake either me or Irish Woman.  Hopefully Irish Woman.

    To a Siamese, all rain is acid rain. And they are vocal about everything. Don’t bother with a guard, Koshka will wait you out. Vengeance will be dealt.
