  1. Gooooood Morning!

    Agency kitties are bringing in trays of wonderful food: cream cheese and bagels, a little lox (of course), oatmeal, juices, tea, and coffee. Here come a few more tuxies with the milk and coffee cream, and a bunch of orange kittens come tumbling in as wait staff.

    Oh, it's a colorful kitty cafe this morning!

  2. Morning Siobhan, might want to watch having the orangies as wait staff....they do tend to put their paws into things to test the foods :)

  3. Morning, Siobhan and Deb, Deb, that sounds like the voice of experience...

    Terrible news from Germany, another school shooting, so soon after the Alabama shooting.

  4. Yah, those orange kitties have tons of personality (lol) Just be sure you don't take your eyes off 'em.

    I am -so- glad my husband retired from the public school system. High school kids are so unpredictable... hormones and teenagers and guns just don't mix.

  5. Yes, but they're so pretty! And easy to spot in the green grass... I do love orangies and their shiny little pink vinyl noses...

    The world is a scary place, that's for sure.

  6. Well, little Libby has just knocked on the office window and come in to snuggle up in her beanbag so I think I will follow her. Have a lovely day, everyone. Deb, don't let them work you too hard...

  7. G'night jcat, scritches to Libby in the morning....she has the smart idea, snuggle in and sleep....

    All 4 of my orangies are entertainment in themselves :)

  8. Morning Siobhan and Deb. Night jcat.

    What horrible news to wake up to this morning. I am scared to send the girls to public school. Maybe I should home school them. so sad.

  9. Good morning. Didn't hear about the shooting in Germany but read about the Alabama shooting. That's terrible.
    My doctors visits yesterday were all good. I got a good report on my blood pressure, meds for back pain and exercises to do; my eyes health is good and just needed a slight prescription change; and my knee is doing well enough that I didn't have to have another cortisone shot.

  11. Hi all, at work and definitely in Skive mode!! I fancy a cup of earl grey tea and some biscuits (cookies)!!!

  12. Hi Pika!!
    *hands Pika some tea and biscuits*
    I actually knew that those were cookies :) I think I will take some too. I love cookies, well good cookies.

  13. My cats have decided to help with the café this morning. Dom, a brown tabby, is making omelets to order; George, a sleek kitty, is manning the waffle iron and griddle for pancakes. Misty, a grey longhair, is attending the chafing dishes with scrambled eggs and hash browns; Even, a white kitty with black Van markings is guarding the trays of ham, bacon, and sausage (and taking an occasional tidbit as his payment, when he thinks I'm not looking).

    Sweet Pea, a lovely tortie, is handling toast and fresh fruit for anyone who wants some; and shy, slim Violet, a gorgeous brown tabby (sister to 2Popoki's Mili), is off in the back making up more coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.

    The outdoor ferals, Bert, Ernie, Cammy, Mike, and Tom are all cleaning up the dirty dishes in back. (Never mind that they're using their tongues.)

    I have a job interview on Wednesday of next week! I can't wait. I'm really tired of not having a job. It would just be as a transitional carrier for the postal service, but it would pay decently. Wish me luck!

  14. Ann!! Morning. Good luck with your interview. You have to let us know. Everything else is looking up in your life so why not the job front. Yea for you.
    Please thank all your precious babies for helping this morning. Scritches for all of them.

  16. How is your job going Pika? When is your last day?

    Posted 2 years ago by cricketsmama #

  17. Job is terrible, just waiting on a daily basis for my managers to even bother calling to see how i am, since they came to let me know about redundancy i haven't even had one phone call!! shocking. Find out on the 23rd March when my last day is, they said 4 weeks notice from then, so should be 17.04.09, but i am annual leave that day as its the UK TDK meet. at least i have that to look forward to!! Applied for 30 jobs and not had one response yet!! dreading being unemployed, have never been without a job!! EEEK!!

  18. ((Pika)) Don't worry you will find something else. At least the TDK meet is something to look forward to!! We want lots of pics :)

    I am getting stressed, I need to potty train Maddie and she really isn't wanting to. She's almost 2 1/2..

  26. Good Morning to all..the cafe seems to be hopping this morning! I am laughing at what AZ said about orangies putting their paws in to test food....when I had my orangie, Tigger, he was obsessed with yogurt....if he heard the click of the spoon in the container, he would come running out of nowhere! My daughter was sitting on the couch eating a yogurt, Tigger was up on the back of the couch and by her shoulder. She raised the spoon full of yogurt and opened her mouth and in went the yogurt AND tigger's paw right into her mouth....it was hilarious! She spit and jumped up to rinse out her mouth...Tigger got what he wanted :) Hope all those job hunting find something soon! MC, we need pics of the meeting tonight!

  27. We both are bringing cameras! I believe we are headed to the cheesecake factory, yummy. I need that after the awful trip to get here. homeland security lost my driver's license so i may never get home.

  28. Hello fellow TDKers - it's a nice spring day here in the UK, was acxtually too warm went I went out in my scarf & fleece just now!

    Wednesday is my day off, but have already spent 2 hours doing some work from home, with another couple to squeeze in later if I can. I'm nearly 70 hours up at the moment, but seeing as I haven't been paid my regular salary for February yet, not quite sure when this will get paid...

    Ann - good luck for next Wednesday! - fingers & paws tightly crossed for you

    MC - have a great night tonight, I would love to meet KW!

    Pika - your bosses are gits. 100% fact. Stuff 'em. Abuse your work facilities to make copies of your CV, and make any calls on their bill. The right job WILL come up. Have you tried any agencies? Sometimes temp to perm is a good route to a job, plus it gives you the chance to "try before you buy" as they say. {{supportive hugs}} - really looking forward to London!

  30. ((MCW)) How are you?? How's' Mum and Bones?
    Quit working from home if there is not a paycheck MCW, you deserve to get paid. Of course knowing me is payment enough *snickers*
