What do they put in the water out here?

I wonder if the reason things are so wonderful in California might be nice drugs in the water. It's Tuesday, and so far this week I've been abandoned by an account manager who forgot a meeting with me and a potential new client (I ended up running the meeting with lots of "I'll find out and get back to you" kind of statements), a project manager who didn't show up for his weekly project sponsor meeting (apparently another meeting ran over, and they don't believe in laptops in meetings so that he could have let me know), an aikido instructor who didn't show for class (I ended up teaching) and then the bus broke down before it got to my stop so I had to walk most of the way back from class, which was less than fun since I strained a muscle in my hip during training.

There's more, which I won't go in to. And with all of that, I'm _still_ cheerful and happy with my job, my garden, my new life.

yeah, it's got to be something in the water. :-)

One of the reasons I like cats

Don't get me wrong, I like dogs too! But cats have that special evil something that appeals to me. For example...

My mother just IM'd me to tell me her cat went missing yesterday. This is always a bit of a concern, since she's in Las Vegas, the cat is black, and it gets hot and dry there. Granted, not right now, but I still worry. The cat does like to wander, and she in fact found it as a stray... but I digress.

Anywho, so the cat went missing yesterday morning. It was found again this morning by the neighbors. Turns out he'd jumped in to the neighbors' car - the window had been open about 6 inches. The neighbors found him there as the wife was taking her husband to the hospital.

Think of it. You are about to go to the hospital. You open your car door. A big black cat springs out.

Now _that's_ evil. :-) Hysterically funny, to me, and definitely evil.
