Dear Stray Cat aka "Bubbles",

Had I known you were a fake and in real life we are enemies, I wouldn't have fed you for three weeks, touched you or let you stay in my lap while tinkering with my bike.

However; I will gladly make a truce that if you don't try to eat me when I am visiting your human, I will allow you back on my property and continue have a pretend relationship. I may even feed you some food occasionally now that I know who you are.


Back story: Bubbles is one of those cats that will turn on you for no reason. She was in my lap several years ago and bit my arm with her teeth and drew blood. She did this a couple of times and she was no longer allowed to be with visitors and I haven't seen her for a long time. I didn't even know she was alive. I had wondered if the cat was Bubbles, but she was too friendly with me so I pushed the thought away.

It wasn't until yesterday that her son was out back, saw the cat and verified that she was Bubbles that I fell over in shock and laughter. Talk about feeling betrayed. She's a fake! I guess the good food I was feeding her was enough to have her "like" me.

Perhaps there was something going on with her a few years ago that made her behave that way? If she had some health issue at the time it may have contributed to it - either that or your food and lap are much better than what she has become used to!

There used to be a kitty next door to me with a horrible attitude. I was terrified of Jerri, she'd scratch and bite at will. As she got older, she mellowed, and became quite a nice cat. Maybe some cats are like people, they mellow with age.....

Adding my congrats, Pax.

Dear Minion,

You need to learn to handle stress, and the job pressure when I am not there. Just because you can't handle it all, is no reason to blame me or the procedures I wrote. They are quite clear, you have run the process in question many times before. Why did you decide this time to post not only the original payment file, but the corrected file too? You know better.

Now I get to spend my first Monday back at work, reversing your screw up.

[Pax]

Snap - I feel your pain, the young guy who works for me freaks out if he gets even slightly stressed... very annoying having to deal with him during those times.

Trek - your employer is unbelievable.

Trek - your employer is unbelievable.

Yes, they are unbelievably wonderful. I love my job and would never complain about it online

[Owlie]

Great pictures, and I like your reception--low key, and with beer!


Dear bike computer--
You suck. I look at you the wrong way, and you reset and eat all my numbers. At least you didn't eat the odometer numbers this time...
I'll be replacing you with something less prone to interference and more user-friendly when the budget allows...

Dear husband,

I admire your confidence, really I do. It's one of the things I love about you. But. How many more rotted floors, plastic containers under leaks, hours to days without any water, and emergency service fees is it going to take to convince you that you are not a plumber?
