And Now A Message From The Management

Meow

“Of course the human is still alive.

Despite his many and ridiculous flaws, I am forced to keep his company.  After all, he is the only one capable of opening the fridge and the cans which contain my food.  Without him, I would be forced to give up my breakfast, my late breakfast, my lunch, my afternoon snack, my dinner, my evening meal, and both my 1am and 3am snacks.

You have not seen him because he is lazy.  So very lazy.

Now leave me.  I must learn the language of these birds in the front yard so that I may conquer them as I have you humans.”

Upkeep

Just some upkeep on things…

 

  • The Grand Canyon is very cool.  I’ll be game to go back just about any time.  It took us three hours to hike a mere three miles round trip on the Bright Angel Trail.  After that, we hiked along the Rim Trail and put in a total of six or so miles for the day.  The day was clear and we had beautiful views.

  • Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers be awesome.  Not much else to say besides that.  Our seats were in the nosebleed section but we had a great view and the music was awesome.   I can safely say my concert wish-list is complete.

 

Lightning wasn’t the best for cameras but honest, the view was a lot better than this.
  • Work is busy.  Unlike the old job at the Help Desk, where summer passed at a fairly relaxed pace, the new job is very busy during the summer months.  This is mostly because of our Faculty Rollout where we give new computers to a quarter of the faculty on campus.  Busy or not though, I am enjoying the new job.  It’s a lot less stressful and I get to do new things.
  • Writing … it’s happening.  Not much else to say right now.
