Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2006Aaaaargh - brain imposion
When is one of the best times to study? When you are laid off, and need a break from job-hunting, I suppose. But I think I've been overdoing on the studying as well - ASP.NET, ADO.NET, PHP 5, a little catch up on my perl and Excel VBA, with a side order of catch up on C#. But mostly ASP.NET. I was trudging through the chapter on data controls, and just started on the ADO.NET chapter, when I saw this paragraph: To understand the futility of understanding the ADO.NET object model, you'll undertake two tasks in this chapter: Of course, it said "utility" in the book, so I decided this was a good time to go play with the cats, and gve my brain a rest. Instead, I sat back down in front of the computer and typed this in. I ask you, how did my priorities get so screwed up...?

"To understand the utility of understanding"? (Actually, before I read that it really said "utility", I thought it sounded sort of Zen-like.) This is your competition, Mark. You're gonna do great!! Joyce Currently rewriting an entire manual that was translated from Japanese into English. My job is to make it sound like something an English- speaking person would actually say. This includes instructions such as: "Take care not to give strong shock or vibration to the equipment, otherwise there might be a risk of dangerous situations, such as damage to the equipment or to the patient." (This is medical equipment.) You really don't want to damage the patient! PS - Smudge just turned her ear inside-out. She looks very silly.

You > really don't want to damage the patient! Aagh. I hope I'm doing a better job. I'm translating the material for an "ICT Driving Licence" that will be used by the whole university (and possibly some other universities than the one I'm employed at), and I have to translate it into both Swedish and English. I've been doing both languages in turns, because they sort of feed each other, but I just noticed that I was happily writing a sentence in English in the Swedish version! Aaagh. Only ten days back at work and I'm already all messed up! > PS - Smudge just turned her ear inside-out. She looks very silly. LOL! Licky was a trend-setter, now Smudge is doing it too!

Roxy had better get with the program. Tessie's ears turn inside out very easily - and stay that way! She looks so funny trotting around the house with one or both ears flicked over... Silver's ears will flick over but they don't stay that way, and Scouty's ears won't flick at all! >>>> PS - Smudge just turned her ear inside-out.

I think cats ears must be a lot tougher than they look, it looks like it should be uncomfortable when they're inside out but it obviously doesn't worry them.

In fact, he's more sleek than usual, now that I've been BRUSHING him! (Which he loves.) He's now sleek and shiny.
