Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005Oh no! Stay at home purrs?
Well, I've been unemployed for two whole weeks now. Very few job postings that match my resume, and no nibbles on those. A couple of times a day, I lie down for a few minutes, to read the group on my Treo. Little Feet cuddle up under my arm, and dozes off with his head on my bicep. Buster gets more time to sit in my lap, while I search the job boards, and look for new sources of job postings. Dulce may gets more chances to be petted when I make bathroom or beverage runs, or just happen to walk past her napping spot atop the cat tower. Now, I've got this theory... All three cats are getting a lot more attention while I'm home. All three cats seem to be enjoying this attention. I'm really hoping they are not purringto KEEP me home. I did tell them yesterday, that they really need to purr for me to get a job, so I can continue to buy their food. Little Feet just grinned as if to say, "You'll just have to find a way to feed us...". I'm doomed. Hugs and Purrs, Mark Youll be fine Mark, really you will I'm under a lot of stress from my schoolwork. I'm not working out, my diet has gone out the window, i'm not making a lot of money, and my kitties are wanting to be fed too. I'm trying to keep my cool and ye somehow i know things will work out. If things can work out for me, it can work out for you.... Kristi > Well, I've been unemployed for two whole weeks now. Very few job > postings that match my resume, and no nibbles on those.

I think you'll just have to resign yourself to be a stay-at-home Paw from now on, Mark. ;o) My three are purring for you to find a job soon, but I don't know if their purrs are strong enough to counteract those of your three.

Little Feet just grinned as if > to say, "You'll just have to find a way to feed us...". Lucky you, I say! Oscar is clearly disgusted that I'm not out of the house. She mostly avoids me during the day, just to make it clear that she has things to do and I'd best not get any bright ideas.

Little Feet just grinned as if to say, > "You'll just have to find a way to feed us...". I've got my six (jeez, how did we end up with SIX?) working on a new purr plan. There's an outfit in Tempe that's looking for a programmer to telecommute. Even if I had to drive to AZ a couple times a month, I could get in to telecommuting. It doesn't pay as well as the other jobs I've interviewed for, but for something where I could work from home again I could live with that. And the kitties would certainly not mind having a human slave around all day. Dan Here's hoping a new job comes your way soon, Mark.

Felix just tries to make me late for the train in the morning by doing the "Mommy Mommy I love you I love you cuddle me cuddle me" bit, complete with huge-eyed adoring look he knows turns me to mush :-). (When I get home in the evening, he just gives me the "oh, it's you" bit.)

Is THAT why John's been so lucky about finding new jobs (twice)? The girls are smart enough to know that he has to work to bring home the kibble and she has no intention of going hungry! They were rather puzzled that he was at home yesterday... they've got used to him running out the door at 7.30am on the dot with no time to do more than scritch their heads on the way out... but no more. This new job has a much later start and an earlier finish. We might actually get to spend some time together outside of weekends! I really hope you find something soon... and the same goes for everyone else looking for employment. I know how sucky it is to not be able to get something (when it was my turn, I never did manage to find a decent job...)
