Kittens!

The Management Deems the Blog is Trending Towards Negativity

 

Here are the new kittens, Jake and Elwood.  Elwood is the stripey one and he recognizes no boundaries. Jake is gray with very faint stripes and is pretty chill.

Kittens make everything better. Now I've restored balance to the force.  Whatever that means.

Treading Water

 If I could just be young for a few days I could catch up on all this crap I've been treading water in the last few months.  Cut the head off the hydra and it grows two more.  

 Has anyone else noticed how cranky this incarnation of the blog has become.  I blame the world around me.  It's certainly not my fault. 

A new (not-new) gripe!

 Hello Everyone in the World!

Please do me a favor.  Please (please please please) stop using old email threads for new subjects.  Take a moment to click "New Message" when you want to start a new email subject, rather than recycling an old one just so you don't have to specify who you're emailing.

What's worse, bugging Tom by continuing an old email thread entitled "EMERGENCY!!! Help needed ASAP!" when all you want is my pork chop recipe, or wondering why I seem to be ghosting you during your crisis when you appended your urgent plea for help in a thread entitled "Gourmet Pork Chop Recipes for the Common Man"?

Like the Thursday Night Joliet Pepper Steak and that Oatmeal at the Cook County Joint, they're both pretty bad.

So do your part to make my world a better place for me.  Use a new subject line when you have a new subject.  It's the right thing to do.
