Observations of the Day

It annoys me that I signed up for email-only monthly statements from my mortgage bank per the advertisement of "going green," yet get at least two snail mail envelopes a week full of crummy loan-rate advertisements from them (true, I'm sure I could find a way to eliminate those by phone or Web, but that isn't really the point).

Our oldest cat was so grumpy this morning that she hid under a nightstand with her head slunk down like she lost her best friend. Either she didn't know it was Friday, or she was just annoyed it was morning already...a very human thing to do for a cat, I think.

I was very happy to find the service center from where I recently bought a new car was just as friendly and professional as the salesmen were before I bought the car. This is much better than the last car purchase experience I had.

Because I'm a dork, I ran like an idiot across the living room to scare our little kitten. Said kitten defended herself by freezing and falling off the back of the couch.

There are few things more annoying in the candidate interview process than asking a person their expertise on a skill they listed on their resume, only to hear them tell me that they have never performed that task before.

Our 2 year old cat has assumed a peculiar number of habits that a previous cat of ours had, even though he had never met that cat. One habit is demanding belly rubs by lying beside me, rolling on his side, and lifting his leg to allow for easy access to have his wobble belly stroked.

If I don't start reading all the books I have in backlog faster, I'll never get through them no matter how long I live.
