I'm not sure that this is "Really Swell News", but it was news to me and is now news to you... Apparently, we are getting our twelfth cat and temporarily a thirteenth. I'd mentioned in another thread my friend committing suicide and his dad wanting to start over elsewhere, well there was the matter of his five cats. One we got from the shelter, but he decided he liked Ramsey and Alex's place better so we gave up after the umpteenth time he ran back home the six blocks to our old place and hopped in their window. Whether he likes it or not, his ass is going out to the boonies where my sister-in-law lives where this running away six blocks isn't going to be an option. She'll keep him indoors for a few weeks and gradually get him acclimated to the new digs. Anyway, Kathy has always had a soft spot for Bella, (no neither of those), a long-haired jet-black female of some 5 years of age. Apparently Bella is coming here with one kitten in tow, the kitten is going to another sister-in-law, so that she'll have a trio of tuxedo cats all well under a year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her heart says, I love you, baby, but her eyes say, Burn in Hell, you bastard. Oof. I had 40 of the fuckers. Worst pain ever. Took so long to get the procedure, the date of,  I'd got rid of them.

Do not screw this up and watch wallaby matches and try to eat Mark Lewin, it will not end well. Watching Mark Lewis matches doesn’t always go well either. I’d probably rather watch a wallaby unless Lewis is a grumpy babyface against an obnoxious heel or he’s wrestling Terry Funk. Unless you have some 1960s footage you’ve been hiding? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 My first Rubik's Cube competition as an organizer, and not just a competitor, went off today without a hitch. We had an overflow crowd at one of the libraries here in Spokane and a good time was had by all. On a personal level, I destroyed my personal best times in every event and could not be happier with how I performed. All 5 of my solves in the standard 3x3 Rubik's Cube event were faster than my previous best time in a competition.  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Today a caller spent five minutes trying to get me to switch careers. For those who haven't previously seen me oversharing about my job, I work fro the IRS and my usual workday is to spend 1.5-3 hours answering incalls and the rest of the day doing paper cases like installment payment requests, misapplied payments (90 percent of the time this means the second spouse on a return tried to make a payment toward a joint debt but got the year wrong, preventing a systemic transfer from the "dummy" account that usually just says "Hey, this person filed as this other person's spouse!" to the person who put their name on Line 1) and gently explaining to people that we all believe that they lost money on their 2012 401k flush, but they have to file a return to show that loss or we're legally obligated to assume 100% profit.  I usually get at least one compliment on my voice and phone manner per week. My usual response is "I did choir and theatre in high school and added a little radio in college; it pushed the East Texas out of me." Most people say something generic about how they could see that making me well-suited for my current line. This guy was different, and repeatedly encouraged me to look him up on LinkedIn so he could hook me up with his friend who directs national radio ads and could hook me up with other voice directors. There is basically no chance of me making that kind of a life change a month away from 41, and there is a huge chasm between the vocal skills to calm someone in a panic over an IRS letter vs the vocal skills needed to play a character, but it was the most flattering interaction I've had with a taxpayer in 7 years at this job and I wanted to gush a little. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 When you said "trying to get me to change careers" I was assuming this was an "asshole customer" story. Glad that wasn't the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Last summer, my wife started her own Youtube channel. It's a shopping and scrapbooking channel where she shows off purchases and things she's made. It's been waaaaaaaaaay more successful than either of us could have ever imagined (2650 subscribers and counting). And she has the absolute nicest viewers in the world - always a kind word, tons of compliments, you name it. She even had to get a PO box because people wanted to mail her gifts (and they do - one or two a week!) It's been sooooo beneficial for her. I could not be more proud of her! Anyway, this morning she was out and about shopping and she got recognized. "OH MY GOD!" "YOU'RE A CELEBRITY!" "YOU'RE MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER!" "CAN I GET A PICTURE WITH YOU?????" Not just her, it made *MY* day.  I just had to share that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
