So, I said I was sending in applications answered very honestly (and, hopefully, un-usefully).

Well, that store called me in for an interview. VERY excited. “Can you make it Monday at 3??”

Ummmm… Yeah?

Monday…. at three….? Okay….

This particular store is actually one of maybe two that I’d actually probably enjoy working at. I was almost not going to send in the application because I thought maybe I should reserve my application for a time I actually want the job. (oh, yeah, it’s Build-A-Bear. The other store I might enjoy is Lane Bryant, if only because their clothes fit me.)

But nooo.

Maybe it was because I was so honest? Can one ever know for sure? I guess I’ll just be honest in my interview, too. “I am on unemployment and they pay more than you (probably) do…”

All things considered, though… there ARE worse places to work.

I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

On the homefront, the office is clean, although my desk isn’t. Because, you know, I took all the stuff off the floor and put it on my desk, right? I vacuumed and steam-cleaned the floor, and went out to get the spritzer of Feliway to dissuade Bastien from peeing on the floor (AGAIN)… And I returned to the office to find him… peeing on the floor already.

I swear… that CAT… damn.

I gave him a very stern BAD KITTY!!! Which he took in stride. He took a good 15 seconds to finish peeing before running away all upset. *sighs*

So I re-steam-cleaned that section of carpet, spritzed the feliway liberally, etc etc… Yeah, and I used bleach on the carpet, too, so it should take out some of the ammonia smells.

No, I don’t know why he doesn’t use the box. YES I’m sure it has something to do with his previous outdoor-bachelor-kitty life (although he was neutered when I took him in)… and, according to my friend Darrell, “It’s probably Kismet. Living with Kismet would make ANYONE want to pee in the corner.” Thanks. Yeah, Kismet does take her share of swipes at Bastien, but he usually whacks back. I dunno. Maybe we need more litter boxes.

I guess that’s maybe next week’s project. Or the week after.

I had my pre-op appointment today. The PA from the anesthesia department was nice. I asked her where she went to school; she went to OU. (That’s where I’d be going to complete my PA after doing the pre-work at NSU).
Nothing new. Barrett’s home, and tomorrow: Kansas City, and Worlds of Fun. I love me some roller coasters.
