truepenny1. New Simon's Cat: "Sticky Tape."
2. Baby platypus! For which the correct word is puggle. Ditto for baby echidnas.
3. People have started reporting the arrival of Unnatural Creatures. Yay!
4. Last night involved a trip to the emergency vet with the Second Ninja. As best we can tell, she hurt her right hind leg, although since the vet couldn't find anything wrong, about all I can say for sure is that she scared the living daylights out of me,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mirrorthaw, and herself.
I really need 2011 to cut this shit out.
5. Dear Universe,truepenny is still looking for a job, which she more and more needs to find thanks to her state's fucknut of a governor. (Yes, mirrorthaw is a state employee.) Since she now has, along with all her other health problems, RLS which means her sleep schedule is Teh FUBAR, she is pretty damn baffled as to how to find one. Any help you wanted to offer, O Universe, would be much appreciated. Sincerely, me.

Date: 2011-03-03 05:10 am (UTC)I'm sure Scotty does want to keep me out. Not only am I doing graduate work at Cornell, but I want to be a greedy state employee. Its been so hard watching this from afar.
But, luckily, I kept my residency in Wisconsin. I'll be signing for recall papers as soon as I can.

Date: 2011-03-02 10:13 pm (UTC)Unnatural Creatures arrived late last week; no time to read right now, because it's tech week for Dido, but I'm looking forward to it. Sending good vibes to you and Second Ninja!

Date: 2011-03-03 03:59 am (UTC)2) Read Unnatural Creatures this morning. "The World Without Sleep" is my new favorite Booth story. Thank you. (Also, I am quietly cheering for the subtle arc I'm seeing in the last three stories - it feels like he is starting, tentatively, to connect to people.)

Date: 2011-03-03 04:04 am (UTC)I wish you look with the employment issue, and with the feline health and welfare issue as well. I wish I could offer useful suggestions instead, but it looks like all I can do is buy books at this point.

Date: 2011-03-03 01:13 pm (UTC)Apart from that, I truly wish you all the best with cat health and all the personal stuff
(I am not a state employee, but my sister is, teaching at an elementary school, and our state employees get screwed more and more every day here in Greece. As to the rest of us, we're just waiting for the day when all hell will break loose on the shoulders of the private sector as well...)

Date: 2011-03-03 01:31 pm (UTC)Simon's Cat made me laugh all the more in that one of ours did actually get stuck on a bit I left spare on the edge of my desk - she went a bit nuttier than this though.

Date: 2011-03-03 02:05 pm (UTC)You know, that first phrase is not usually followed by Yay! Perhaps something more in the vein of "OMG! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! THE INVASION HAS BEGUN!"
Or possibly I should just drink another cup of coffee.
