  1. So I'm applying for a receptionist job at Spay & Neuter Kansas City; interviewing tomorrow morning. The good news is that I'm likely to get it; the bad news is working 1 Saturday per month and getting paid about the same amount as I'm currently making on unemployment. Possible raise after 90 days, but a pittance is a pittance, and I could use a job that pays me enough to keep my house.

    There's a job as executive secretary for the city manager, that I'm also applying for. Still overqualified, but the pool of applicants is likely to be much larger, so I'm less likely to get it. But the pay & benefits would be better than what I was making previously. Go figure!

    Otto and Ellis, the CH (cerebellar hypoplasia) kitties, are doing very well in their forever home! I can't tell you all how relieved I am to hear how well they and Bu, the resident cat, are all getting along. I think they lucked out - and I also firmly believe Angela and Ava are angels in disguise. If you're into vintage clothing, let me know; Angela's vintage clothing business is online and could always use some additional business. It's at:

    In other news, Even is returning to the vet this afternoon for a follow-up appointment. He appears to be eating and drinking normally, which is great news! He's regaining weight and condition, and appears to be well on the way to healthier days. Thank goodness!

  2. Great News Ann!! I'm so happy that Otto and Ellis are in a happy forever home, they are so adorable. Please let us know if you get any new pictures of them, I can never get enough of looking at those two cuties. I will forward this link on to several people I know who can't get enough of vintage clothes.
    Good luck on the job interviews...

    I was just thinking about you last night and wondering how you were. Thanks for the update. What great news about Otto and Ellis, and also about Even. Those kitties don't know how lucky they were, finding you.

    I will keep all available appendages crossed for you getting a job that will allow you to stay in your home.

  5. If y'all decide to forward the information, or if you decide to buy something, I'd strongly recommend letting Angela know that you're friends with Ann Cetera, had been following news about Otto and Ellis, and are thrilled that she decided to adopt them. She has a great business, and I'd love to see her continue to succeed!

    (humming "It's A Small World After All)

    And thanks for all the good thoughts about finding work. Cross your fingers!

  9. awwwwww {{{{{Otto}}}}}}}}

    I sure will Ann...I am still looking thru the website...this stuff is awesome!!!!!!!!! I'm currently trying to figure out how I could get that 1920's beaded dress...It's 1650, but I see they have layway!!! I should set my sites on something more practical like the brown feather boa, I thinks it's in the 1930's section!!! Wow I could look all day at this stuff.

  10. Wow Ann...such Great news all the way around. I wonder if that rescue has any idea what an incredibly fantastic person they will getting when hiring you? It would be wonderful that if at some time in the future,we all could see how big & healthy Otto & Ellis are doing with their forever family. Lots of luck to you for the secretarial position.

    Wow...I spoke to soon before I saw the pic of Otto. He's gotten soooo big.

  11. That IS a great website Angela has. I could get lost in the nostalgia & beauty of it all for hours.

  15. Ann...Am I allowed to tape mine crossed? Just an added bit of security for the Hope & Luck.

    Posted 1 year ago by feral #

  16. Thank you for the update Ann. Hope you get the job you really want. Otto looks like such a sweetie but of course I am partial to the tuxxies with my having Sylvester.

  17. Thank you for updating Anncetera...I'm happy you're getting back to work even if it's not the best of pay. How thrilling that Otto and Ellis are doing so wonderfully...sounds like the purrrrfect home for them! Glad too to hear that Even is improving so nicely. You sound great Ann!!! =)

  18. Susie, of course you're allowed to tape your fingers crossed if you want! I'm just hoping I get hired. (It's incredibly depressing to have gone unhired for so long.)

  19. Been there, done that, Ann, and it doesn't help that you keep telling yourself that it's because you're hugely overqualified, it's still so demoralising... If those people have any sense they'll offer you both jobs right away! Good luck, blow their socks off and I will be sending humungous amounts of positive energy your way for the interview tomorrow.

    That is such fabulous news about Otto and Ellis, Otto is such a handsome boy! Good news about Even too (scritches to all of them!) That vintage clothing site is SO yummy, ohmigosh, if I had the money, there are about four things I would just snatch up right now! (Course, not sure I'd fit into them, hmmmm, lol). I'm sure the universe has some more good karma coming your way, it's just such a bummer trying to remain cheerful while you wait, I know!

  29. Outstanding news!

    It sounds as if I can expect to hear back about a second interview from either the director or one of the members of the board of directors of SNKC. There's a vet tech position open, as well... which would pay a bit more and be a bit more demanding, but for which they're willing to train. I told the director I'd be good with filling either job, and would be happy to cross-train to maximize flexibility of staffing needs.

    Plus they're growing... there will be more opportunities further down the road. Woo hoo!!!
