The weekend was mostly uneventful, other than my sister getting another cat. Apparently, the new kitten is very loud when it purrs. Right now, Emmy isn't pleased by the invader and they're trying to sort out dominance with staring, hissing, and chasing. The kitten still has its claws, so she should be able to hold her own against Emmy.

My project is winding down, the client really likes what my company has proposed, and there's a chance that I could be overseeing some Indian programmers if the client decided to hire my company for the actual coding for the website updates we proposed. The scope of this project was just one part of a website, but the big plan was to use this to say, "Hey, now that we redesigned this part of the site, how about letting us redo this part too?" So far, it looks like that's still the plan.

There will be a month-long gap before the next part of the project, but that should give me some time to find a place a bit closer to the client.

I'm also eligible for an early turn-in on my car's lease, and will be getting a new vehicle on Thursday.

Now I just need to tell people that I don't like when they get in the way of my cardio workouts at the gym, and everything will be great.

I haven't seen the new one yet, but Emmy's definitely cute. If my plan for moving closer to the client goes well (It had better. I'm currently stuck living with my parents) and the two cats sill don't get along, I'll probably end up with the new kitten.

The hardest work was during the last part when we didn't have a solid look for the redesign yet. This time around, we were able to build on the stuff that was already there and refine its appearance. The drive and being stuffed into a small office with four other people took their toll on me this time.

Supposedly, I might be getting a decent raise during my company's annual process for that stuff.

That's basically how I see cars, despite living in the motor city. As long as mine is affordable and does its job, I'm not too concerned with what it looks like.

Mew ^.^ Male or female kitten?

Oooh, overseeing. Hopefully that'll be something you enjoy; I can't supervise for the life of me. But continuing with a client is good.

So when you have these "gaps"...what do you do besides training? Is it a lot of thumb-twiddling?

Which car?

How do they do that?? I've had to wait for busy machines sometimes, but everyone's generally pretty respectful...

Cars also turn into fun robots ^.^

Female, but only because it's too young to be spayed. We're thinking it's trouble with my sister's cat (and the previous owner's cat and one-year-old) were because it was separated from its mother before it could learn proper kitty manners.

It should be interesting. I've never done something like this before, and am concerned that I'll swing wildly bettween extremely permissive and being too demanding. I hate telling people that they're doing a bad job, too.

Training, some thumb-twiddling, and busywork. Last time, I was almost sent to Texas for a month on very short notice. (They called about it on a Thursday, said I would know that Friday, and wanted me there the following Monday.)

I got a good deal on a Ford Fusion.

It's actually people preventing me from getting to the gym, not the people at the gym. Certain people love to spring important stuff on me at the last minute, usually by not telling me in advance, or claim that things won't take long when they really will.

I recall a friend saying whether male/male or female/female cats get along better, can't remember which...

Exactly. S'why I hope I'm never a manager.

Fun x.x

Ah, kewlness. Don't know anyone who owns one personally yet, but good luck with that. I...don't remember what you have now.

Oh! Heh, misunderstood ^ ^;;

My sister's friend is good with cats and thinks they just need time.

This would have one advantage over managing people locally. I'd probably be talking to the manager of the programmers in India rather than managing people directly.

It's also an opportunity to take time off without missing anything.

I don't think I said what I have now, but it's a Taurus. Focuses are starting to show up around here, and my salesman said that he's selling a lot of them. Their most distinct feature is the slightly excessive chrome.

I didn't write it very clearly in the first place, so that's understandable.

Get you da kitty!

But you got through it! Why? Because you have super powers! Uh, right?

Now that would be good news! Good luck *crosses fingers*

I'm really just not concerned with them. While the come in hand sometimes, I've never actually need one to go to school/college/work.

I plan to. They're such fascinating creatures.

Either that or I'm insane. Or a masochist. Either way it's bad.

It would be excellent news, especially since it would go into effect September 1st, and that fits my ideal timetable of moving by the end of August.

Cars are a necessity in this area. Being the center of the North American auto industry created a bias against public transportation.

And how are things going with you?

That reminds me. I need to check Toys R Us for new Transformers.
