    Good heavens! Thursdays have dwindled, and here I am, ready and waiting!!!!

    This is a good day, in ways, because it is close to the end of the week! I have been having a pity party, though, and I need to snap out of it. Let's toast our new baby birds, ok? Champagne, please, bartender, whoever you are.

    A toast for the baby birdies!! Bartender another bottle of bubbly over here please.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Well, I'm always ready for champagne! I didn't realise we had baby birdies to celebrate! I don't make it out of the cat side often enough.

    Babyboonie, if I'm not mistaken, you still owe us a joke.

    Is it too late? Oh that's right.. lots of you are in a different time zone. "what is time anyway... just another way ~ of passing the day" *now where the heck did THAT come from?" Just a bit ago returned from Dullas Airport picking up Ally Kat from Behrain with Cheryl (via Copenhagen I believe) Read all about it in Cat Rescue!! I could use a somethingorother to lay down and go to LA LA land. OH! Would that be Lost Angels??

    So, care to hear about my day?

    background - a little over a year ago I started taking over new job responsibilites at work. It started to be overwhelming (that's what happens when you realize that you are doing the work of 1.5 people and they want to add more to your plate).... when last week I got up the courage to officially request an assistant....

    so today - I was axed to leave.

    When I looked at them and said - "am I fired as of now?", and they said yes - I walked out of the room. That was a pretty cool moment by the way.

    They were forced to follow me back to my office as I was packing up my personal belongings - and get this, they were miffed that I wasn't giving them my undivided attention.

    Fortunately their guilt made them give me some severance pay so it wasn't a total kick in the behind on my way out.

    My problem - I'm not a suit - I'm more connected to the working people - and some of them were in tears as I left. That made me feel really good - not that they were in tears - but that they cared so much.

    so long story short, for the next 24 hours - all drinks at Thursdays are on me!

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    Verrrrryyy late getting here - but at least on the left coast it is still Thursday.

    Karen, thanks for opening up the bar..............you know good help is hard to find.

    Which makes me think of Catland...........well, they won't realize what they have done until you are gone for a while..............whadda ya mean we need TWO people to do her job?????

    One door slams - another flings wide open - oh look - a good job in my future - what? with a raise in pay? Hmmm, why didn't I leave sooner???

    Thanks for the drink Catland, how about my buying you one.

    Let's celebrate Ally arriving on U.S. soil - to loving Pet Talker's who have talked sweetly to her - and already rubbed off all of her fur while petting her.

    Four years plus one week - and here we all are - isn't it grand?

    Gotta go check out these birdies now - I haven't had much PT time lately.

    xxoo to you all.

    Catland, very sorry for your prediacament. I hope you can find another job soon. And that round of drinks was very nice, indeed.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
