LOL  Is it possible most, if not all, cat lovers are unemployed or employed
in jobs they hate just to be able to live?  Would be an interesting
statistical analysis (if I were at all interested in statistics heheh).
Maybe we take on the characteristics of our cats... we want do do something,
but on our terms.  If it's nap time, dammit, it's nap time.  And where's my
kibble? <G>

I've got a medical exam scheduled for 5/9 for my ongoing, not yet denied,
Social Security Disability claim.  This one is a psych exam to determine
whether or not I'm actually suffering from clinical depression.  Heck, I
think they'd have to move in with me to determine that.  I'm not sure a 1
hour consult with a psychologist who has never seen me before will be very
telling.  But what do I know?

I'm afraid the step after this is they'll send me for a lovely colonoscopy
for my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which flares up every couple of months
and puts me down and out for several days to a week or so.

That way, any cats looking for work (yeah, right!) can also post here.
;o)

Katz & lazy cats

My new job is working out well, fortunately.  I was under-employed for
about a year (working part time, at a considerably reduced pay rate),
but in February I found a full-time job, in my desired field, paying
considerably more than I was making before I had to go part-time, and
with full medical insurance benefits.  I hope that the rest of you
will have similar luck.

"HRFLTiger" <hm@darktigerproductions.com> had some very interesting
things to say about NG Name change...:

Makes sense to me. I could use some purrs that direction myself. I've
been temping at an investment company for three months now and really
like the place. I like them enough after this long as a temp that I've
applied for a permanent spot, and as of e-mail swapped with HR today,
one of the recruiters does want to talk to me next week.

Only down side is a long commute (you wouldn't think 14 miles
crow-flight would take all that long, but you haven't seen Sacramento
at rush hour and/or aren't familiar with public transit. It's at least
an hour each direction, counting wait intervals between vehicles. At
that, it's not significantly slower than a car, and is MUCH cheaper
and less stress), but that's manageable.

While the kitties are revved up anyway.....? :-) Felix assures me that
his power-purrs are for all tuna-place-seekers and Ava's cooing her
beak off (not to mention giggling, landing on me to nibble on my face,
etc.).

[[Given the number of people hunting for jobs at the moment, maybe we
should rename this newsgroup...

LOL! Either that, or we could set up a new NG just to handle the RPCA
job-seekers.

Actually, we could set up a daily purr/purr-ayer schedule. Some years ago
we had a purr schedule for a different intention, where everyone agreed to
send up a purr, a prayer, a good thought at 8 PM in their own time zone.
That way, just about every hour of the day, SOMEone would be sending up
some purrs.

Why not do the same thing now for all the job-seekers in the NG? There are
so many posters here who fit that category, I think it's warranted.

What does everyone think?
