I noticed this in a tree right outside the front door of the building I’m working in.
Pig is still working on charming the girls. I think he has Polly pretty much worn down. She’s stopped hissing at him, and last night she even touched noses with him. After which, Pig ran a victory lap around the living room. For real. I nearly died laughing.
Henry is being more difficult. She still hates him, but now with just the heat of 1,000 suns instead of 10,000. So, progress, right?
Pig was an orphaned kitten my brother found in the bottom of an old oil drum. They bottle fed him, but he needs a permanent home now, so he’s come to live with me. So far, shockingly, Harriet hates him the least. Henry and Polly think he is the devil’s minion, which he may well be. He’s kind of a pushy asshole, so he should fit right in here, if the girls will get over themselves.

I finally got everything unpacked and arranged. I think this is what real estate agents call “cozy.” I don’t even have enough room to turn around in my chair. I have to back straight out if I want to stand up. A friend suggested I fit my chair with a reversing signal, so that it beep-beep-beeps when I back up.
My fairy godmother in Canadia sent me these. They are fabulous! They’re also the perfect thing to cheer me up after my godawful crappy week in sardine hell.
I noticed yesterday that this is stuck to the glass partition of my cubicle. Right above my computer monitor. Every time I look at it, I think of Ted Nugent. I need to find something to cover it up with, before the urge to stab out my eyeballs becomes totally overwhelming.
I have less space than the half time person in our department. You can imagine how that makes me feel.

It’s hard to look dignified while being attacked by the couch. I don’t know how that can be comfortable, but it must be, because she sleeps like that all the time. Sometimes I come home from work and find the couch cushions on the floor, with Harriet sleeping on the bare seat support. I wouldn’t think that would be comfortable, either!
Yesterday was our last day at the library. Monday morning we begin working at the temporary location. We’ll be there for about five months, and when we return to the library our department will be completely renovated. With cubicles. Blessed, blessed, sound dampening cubicles.
