Just keeping an eye on things.

Gus. Oh, and Taxes.

March 20, 2012

Today, my coworker was asking me when I had the foster kittens last year.  I think it was right around May 1, as they were about two weeks old, and Gussie’s estimated birthday is tax day, April 15! Speaking of taxes, get this: here is an article (thanks, Mitch) about how insanely widespread the fake [...]

Introversion

February 28, 2012

Have you taken the Myers-Briggs test?  It is a personality test that rates you on four categories, and was all the rage in corporate everywhere a while back.  I officially took it the first time in grad school, and have taken it twice since then.  It is pretty interesting, I can’t remember what all of [...]

Rusty and Gus

January 5, 2012

Rusty, my new dog, and Gus, the world’s amazingest cat, have a strained relationship. One the plus side, Rusty doesn’t seem to have much of a prey drive, so he isn’t snarling and trying to kill the cat, as evidenced by a low baby gate serving as an effective barrier.  However, he does want to [...]

Hooray!  I woke up this morning and could fully close my jaw.  Good times.
