Thank you Carla Hurst-Chandler (for bothering to get what I'm going on about) and I think you have a very awesome job. Especially the cat bit

Actually it's an alright gig (the cat bit) except he is always on the wrong side of the door, it seems.

Ah, I have two cats, and I have the same problem. We're thinking of getting a cat flap so I don't have to stand there all day wondering where they want to be next...

Makes me glad my cats are scared to death of being outside. They just like to watch the world from out the windows.

Yes, we thought the cat flap door was great too because you no longer have to get up in the middle of the night to let cats in and out. But, then the cats started bringing in their fresh kill through the flap! That wasn't so bad compared to the stuff that was only 1/2 dead or even a bird fluttering around in our house! The kicker was when I kept smelling something really foul near the wall shelving in the girls' playroom. It was an elaborate wall unit that was attached to each other and to the wall, so pulling the unit out was not an easy option. Finally targeted odor and pulled out bottom drawer and drilled hole into back of unit. Lo and behold, a mole must've escaped the cat's clutches, crawled behind unit and died! So, no more cat door!!! Now, these cats prefer to stay out most of the time. We also have cats that prefer to stay inside only. Think twice about a cat door!

Oh yeah, my cat brought in a crow the other day. Not quite sure how he got it into the house, but he did...it wasn't even quite dead yet though. So we had to put it out of it's misery

very sad but I'm used to it I guess.

My dog catches gophers, he just chews on them for a while until theres nothing left. As for what I do for a living, absolutely nothing. SS and the Gangsters (Teamsters) Union supports me.

I used to work in an automotive shop repairing cars and doing paperwork stuff, but since that ended and I'm jobless, I'm waiting on a stocking interview through Kellogg. Reallyyy hope I get it!

Aside from that, I'm a student majoring in language (I too do French!) & marine biology, emphasis on the sharkies

I help people find the information they need, either by recommending books or by helping them use online databases. I also spend time helping people to use computers, especially elderly people who have no experience using them, but are effectively forced to because they're told they HAVE to fill out such and such a form online.

Yep, I'm a reference librarian and love it.
