I just spent a rather painful amount of monies upgrading my camera. My bank cries, my soul is happy. it gets here before I go to Costa Rica next week.
I don't know if any of you remember my post on my crazy kitties' eating issues- one is a free feeder and the other eats everything in sight, even tortillas! Well my solution was to buy an automatic feeder for the fat one and to put and rfID chip, unlocking, catdoor in the side of a tupperware bin. Well the automatic feeder was broken when it arrived, so I am still waiting to get that figured out...BUT the catdoor in the tupperware bin is working PERFECTLY!! He has figured out how to get in and out and he just goes in whenever he wants!! It took a while for him to get comfortable with the loud locking system, but he has it all down now. And watching the fatty try to get in with no luck is also very entertaining. So glad he can free feed again!
Video to come...

I so badly want to see this in video!
My rave: my ferrets are seriously awesome about just pooping in the litterbox in their cage. Like half the bottom part of their cage now consists of bathroom area, but there haven't been any "accidents" in the cage in the last week or so.
Plus they're so darn cute.
Rant turned rave. This girl has been bullying me and my coworkers since day 1. over a year and a half later, she dug her own grave. I asked my nice co-worker where a patient's chart was so I could check her out. Mean co-worker responds "in releases... where it always is." with her typical mean and condescending tone, as if answering my question was such a chore. I reply calmly, "please stop whining" and walk up front to check out the client. At which point, she runs up front and starts yelling at me in front of the client, forcing the poor woman to wait until she finishes her bitch rant.
She yells "don't tell me what to do and if you have a problem then tell me in the back not in front of a client. (Which I did and she didn't.) She went on in a shrill squawk that "I am professional!!!" At this statement, the client actually giggles (my thoughts exactly). She responds by stomping to the back while I apologize to the client for her behavior. Client leaves and crazy hoe comes back for round two of screaming. My nice co-worker told her to calm down and she yells "NO! Don't try to be peacemaker!!" She then called my managers (her friends) and lies about what happened, saying that I was the one that lost it. She left with a smug grin on her face.
My coworker and I decided to stay and told my vet, the hospital owner what happened. The owner is practically my surrogate father and calls himself my mentor; needless to say he took my side. He was PISSED. He told me that he is sick of her crap (apparently not the first time this kind of **** has happened with her). He's making her apologize to me and my nice coworker and telling her she will be fired if she acts like a bully again. Lucky for me, she will probably refuse to apologize or will be nasty again (she really can't help it at this point) and will be fired very soon. I wish I could see her face when she finds out that lying didn't get her out of trouble. Muahhahaha.
I am proud that I finally stood up for myself and my co-workers. The drama ends here.

My awesome mother-in-law and a bunch of her friends are making raffle prize baskets for a spay/neuter program benefit this next week. What is it called?
SPAYghetti and No Balls!!!!!
I love it!
just got into a HUGE fight with my roommates (well, mainly just the med school one, the vet one and i are on the same page) but i think we have finally gotten some issues resolved for a while. fingers crossed!! it was a very good heart to heart conversation (after we got over the initial yelling haha)
Glad to hear it! Sometimes it's better to confront stuff and talk it out. Glad the yelling was only initial!!
Yay for Sundays indeed! I'm a bit of the opposite today - lately, I'm feeling so pressured to mail stuff and getting annoyed when I miss the mailbox drop off. It's nice to get work done today (hopefully) and mail ALL of it tomorrow!You know what I love about Sundays? No mail. A worry free day where I don't have to stalk the mail man and analyze the thickness of every envelope. Yay for Sunday!!!!
(the petty issue was her walking in on me in the bathroom instead of knocking when she saw the door shut. she still wont budge that it's my fault for not locking it, but i think it's common sense and courtesy to make sure a bathroom is unoccupied before you go barging in!!! oh well, locking the door from now on! i've never had that issue with roommates before haha)

OK, time for my terrifying moment turned rave of sorts...
I was babysitting my niece yesterday at my place. I'm not 100% baby-proof so I purchased a small between room gate to keep her out of the cat boxes and away from a small set of stairs that lead to a recessed room. But, I needed to move it briefly to get to my bedroom to put away some laundry. The hallway is short and very narrow, so trying to keep the gate out of the way so neither of us trips into the cat box in the hall, stupid me, puts the gate at the top of the stairs... My niece and I make it to and from the bedroom twice with no issue. She helps me put away the rest of my laundry (she loves to open drawers, etc...) and we head back out to the rest of the apartment. On our way out, she sees said gate, puts her right hand on the top, and before I can say 'no sweetie, don't touch that', down she goes with the gate...
It was one of those slow motion moments... My stomach dropped and I was more afraid than I had ever been of anything. It's only 5 steps, but with the gate going with her, I feared the worst given that at the bottom there's a desk - enough momentum and she would make contact. She makes it to the bottom with me close behind. Not even seeing where she lands, I scoop her up as fast as I can while she's, of course, screaming bloody murder being scared out of her mind. All I could think of was 'How could I have been so damn stupid?!?' 'I was so irresponsible putting that where I knew it wasn't safe rather than just closing the door for 10 minutes', 'I'm a dumb-ass', etc... I rush her upstairs to get her into good light; and find that there isn't even a scratch on her. I got so damn lucky. I calmed her down, turned on Elmo, and five minutes later she was right as rain. I am so grateful to all the gods that were looking out for her. Had anything happened to her I would have never forgiven myself. Needless to say I'll be thinking 10 times about anything I ever put in place for 'safety' ever again.
My sister has too many concussion to know how many she had. (She might actually quit playing soccer because it's getting pretty bad..)

Uncle Vernon: Ahh... it's Sunday. The best day of the week. Why is that, Dudley?
Harry: [when Dudley doesn't answer] Because there's no post on Sundays?
Uncle Vernon: Right you are, Harry! No post on Sundays. Hah!
(Am I the only one that immediately thought of this?)
As for my rave: The Red Shouldered Hawks that nest in my front yard are back, and I got to watch them have se...errr...copulate this morning! That means more hawk babies are on their way! Last year I watched the two babies grow up but had to go out of town for some family stuff when they fledged! I was so upset when I came back and they were gone! This year I'm going to make sure I see them leave the nest for the first time!
They won! They won!! They won the Oscar!!!
Here are 15 minutes well spent!!
