Not as easy as me, it takes me 5 minutes to walk to work :lick:

Re: Surreality ... I got a job (update)

Hello! Hello!!

I'm surviving my first week ... tho Monday was a HUGE shock. Imagine geeky me going from alone-in-my-living-room-in-jammies-with-two-cats-as-company to sharing a cube with a lovely lively young woman in a very crowded building.

But I've adjusted and have tons of very fun activities with which to amuse myself and contribute to the Greater Good (and profits).

I got the computer y'all recommended ... SUWEET! The "tower" is the size of my notebook from last semester. Truly ... about 1/2 the size of the monitor (no, that's an exaggeration!).

Comcast (which y'all also recommended) is coming tomorrow to hook up everything and I've got my wireless usb dealiebob all ready.

I'm nearly all moved into my very bright and shiny old/new home ... and it looks like I worked with a decorator! The carpet actually matches the lino and looks great with the paint colors I picked ... all independently.

New windows (chief!) go in next week, and then carpeters and painters come back to tidy the bits.

I've got some furniture coming and lamps (it's still a few days away from our long summer-lit days) .

By the time I get all the boxes unpacked and the new furnishings paid for, tho, I'll probably need a new car

Anyway, I've missed you guys and will be more connected ... with bazoodles of questions and maybe some helpful answers!

Great to hear this, hope your cats don't freak out in the new digs.

How'd you know!

I got some pheromone spray to help them adjust ... and discourage the boy cat from digging up the carpets. So far they seem to be pleased to have sleeping places in the sun again but miss their cat door.

Good.



A move, new job and everything. Congrats and just remember to kick back once in a while. Driving to work is OK, helps you get ready for the bombardment of who flung poo.

I have an Orange Marmalade Tabby.

And Cats go nuts in new surroundings. It takes them a bit to adjust. And if you have wall to wall carpeting, good luck. Hope you have some big scratching poles and stuff to keep them occupied. Or you're gonna be trimming all the lumps in the carpet from them digging their nails into it.

 

[Dark Atheist]

kick em up the arse!!! that will also teach em!!!

The carpet has a frisee finish, so their digging won't show. The carpet guy is coming to finish the end after the slider is installed and thinks I'm a bit strange, but has agreed to recarpet the 6' cat tree with the carpet remnants so it looks nice.

They loff their cardboard scratcher ... and each other
