I think this is the third year now that we don't get today off. And I'm still bitter, dangit! Let the slacking commence! I mean, really, I need today off so I can sit at home reflecting on the great presidents of this country. That's totally what I would be doing if I had today off.

Soooooo I finally watched Two Brothers last night. I'd been afraid to due to some things I'd heard, and definitely some of it was hard for me to watch, but it was a good movie.

And now the outdoor kitties have names!
the whiny one = Kumal
the friendly one (though in fact the other one is friendly too) = Sangha
They're two tiger brothers just like the movie! Only... okay, yeah, they're tabbies, not Big Cats.

They're still not my kitties, but I thought they deserved names after all this time. Both of them will sit in my lap now, for a bit. Isn't that sweet?

I did one of those friending memes a few days ago... and it didn't net me a single friend. That's a first. Loser alert! *le sigh* Nevermind that I didn't go ask anyone else to add me. ETA: Yaaaay I made a friend! W00t!

I'm on song #1104 of shuffling on my iPod. There are only 1275 songs on here so obviously I have to keep shuffling until it finishes. Anyone else shuffle theirs and find themselves going "Oh cool good song"...even though you programmed all the songs on there so DUH it's a good song? Heh. I have some songs on mine that I don't really know, though, because I put them on there based on my bro's recommendations. I usually end up liking those, though.

Okay, I'm gonna post this and go slack by other means.

Yeah, I'm feeling a strong need to reflect on the presidents today... too bad I can't!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

You're working too? Okay, I don't feel so alone. *commiserates*

[minimery.livejournal.com]

Yeah :(

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I really shouldn't whine because I do get the major holidays off, huh.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

It WOULD be nice not having weekend crowds when you're running errands. Though sometimes I do stuff after work for that reason and that works well too.

Honestly, I wouldn't bitch about it if we didn't used to get this day off. We work three more days a year now than we used to. And I should be over it by now but I find it so annoying.

I do enjoy celebrating the major holidays with my family, but if we were open and people needed to work on say, Christmas, I think I'd volunteer so the people with kids could take off. As long as I get as many days off as they do, switching the days wouldn't be that big a deal. Which I guess is why my brother doesn't ask for holidays off.

Your family can bite your shiny metal ass!

**Cackles gleefully** I'm off today...I'm off today!!

Look at the icon to make you feel better.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

*staaaaaaaaaaaaaaares*

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

You named the outdoors kitties? and they sit on your lap?

Right... they aren't your kitties because obviously, all kitties on the street have names and sits on peole's laps.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

You know, I was going to comment on that, but she gets so testy when you point out the obvious to her! LOL

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

You're both brats :P

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

See?!?! I told you you get test when you point out the obvious!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

*whine bitch moan complain*

Oooo that's a nice Hayden icon. I saw that batch.

I still want more Higher Ground iconage.

[krrayn.livejournal.com]

Hahahah icon love :)

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Heeee! I would say thanks but I didn't make it.

[krrayn.livejournal.com]

btw, I totally forgot Thought 2.5: We share the same birthday! though I'm 2 years older.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! It's a fun party birthday, isn't it? Although that fact is wasted on me in recent years. And I've only had green beer ONCE. For shame!

[krrayn.livejournal.com]

the strongest thing I drink is Mountain Dew, which is green enough for me ;) though when I was a kid I used to love getting the Shamrock Shakes from McDonald's.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

YES those were AWESOME! My friends thought they tasted like grass but I LOVED THEM! They need to bring those back.

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Why am I a brat? I am merely stating a fact. Stating facts is what teachers do!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I think "just cuz" should qualify as an appropriate answer.

JUST CUZ!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Wendy-chaaaaan... <---*yes, that is a whine*

That doesn't explain anything.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hey, if I whine at you like that, will you do a voicepost finally?

It means that I have already stated these aren't my cats and you guys just don't seem to get it! Phooey!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

No, I'm used to whining by now. Blame the kiddies fo that.

You named them and fed them and gave them a place to sleep. That is better than some other pets get.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

That's true. But I haven't taken them to the torture chamber vet - I'm not responsible for their medical care, so I'm not their owner. I know there's at least one other person who feeds them too. At least she used to feed them. Who knows if she still does. Four cats is plenty for me kthxbai!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Your logic is interesting, Wendy-chan. It is not proof-worthy but it is still interesting.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Heh. Just to kick my own ass even more... I could go back and find the entry where I claimed they weren't mine because I hadn't named them. >.> That's when they were kittens #1, 2, and 3. #3 disappeared months ago :(

Anyway, I changed my mind. Naming them does not mean they're mine. And we all know it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

>.> Fine, we will assume that naming them does not mean they're yours. I'll accept the woman's prerogative only because I have a long list of female friends and that is a scary group to upset by not allowing that.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Smart man!

Like the computer guy here who went around Valentine's morning and left a red tulip on every woman's desk. That was very smart of him. (this office is like 85% female.) We were all nice to him the rest of the day! And even the day after!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you accept my reasoning. So the formal definition of 'your cats' is when you pay for their medical care?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

In this case, yes.

You can save this to throw it in my face later if I object >.>

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Yep, that was the plan. ^_^

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Yes, she does get testy when you point the obvious to her.

[senatorsfan.livejournal.com]

Hehe, why not commiserate with us Canadians? If we asked to have the day off our bosses would all just look at us and start laughing. XD Although in Ontario today it is supposedly "family day" which is an official statutory holiday the premier instituted so he would get re-elected people could have a holiday in February. Trouble is he forgot to tell the federal government, so anything that is federally-funded or operated continues to function.

So does the newspaper where I work, since the news business never sleeps. I was at work this morning, quite grudgingly too. Heh.

And I do that exact same thing with my iPod. XD I thought I was the only one!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

You guys have your own holidays though so you can point and laugh when you're off and we're not. Heheh. Family day? So if you don't have any family you have to work? *snicker*

Hehehe, yeah it's not like it's the radio and the songs are actually random enough that you might not like something.

Hmmm, comment notifications seem to be going wonky again. *le sigh*

[aaronisthebest.livejournal.com]

Those are pretty cool names for cats!

Shanghai is a great name for a cat. Did you know its also the name of a city in, uh, southern Italy or Belgium or...Spain, I think? And its also the name of a card game that I have never lost at, except when other people at the table are in the same family and obviously cheat.

And Kamala is a terrific name, too. He was a wrestler during the 1980s and 1990s, mostly in the WWF. He was a big fat dude with a painted sun and moon on his belly, and spoke no English. Just like the whiny cat!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Wtf, gmail notifies me of this comment, but not others. You must be SPESHUL.

Actually, yes, you are, because you obviously can't READ. And we both know who cheats at games around here, Mr. Hidden Scrabble Tiles!

Karmala is a mark (Avon) fragrance. That's closer to that wrestler dude than Kumal!

Freddie Highmore grew up when I wasn't looking! Not that that has anything to do with anything.

P.S. You should go look at the people who did the 80s meme and give them your version of who Bill Buckner is. :P

[karinablack.livejournal.com]

heheh slackerrrr!!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hehe, yeah, slacking makes it all better!

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

I thought you weren't going to name the outdoor kitties, crazy cat lady?! :p

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know, but... I just had to!
Did those flowers ever show up?

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

You're funny.
Yeah, there's two companies in the same building, and they had been taken to the wrong reception. Gemma went and picked them up.

[sweet-panda.livejournal.com]

They're your cats, give it up. Let them in. Love them.

They're so ALOOOOOOONE and COOOOOOOLD outside without love. No one else is ever going to pick them up and give them love like you will.

Let them in and get the other cats used to them and let Ani slap 'em around some.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

They are noooooooooooooot! They don't even like it inside! They're outdoor kitties!

And I've read about this; if I think "no one else will love them like I do" that gives me Crazy Cat Lady mentality. Which of course I joke about being one but I really do NOT want to have 96 cats living in their filth and all that.

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

They don't have to live in their own filth. You just need to work that much harder to keep it clean!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd hate to think how much litter would cost for 96 cats. That'd be hella expensive keeping it clean as well.

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

True. I didn't say it wouldn't be expensive; I merely said that they didn't need to live in their own filth. If you were that dedicated to the 96 cats, you would pay to keep them happy and healthy.
