Hard at work

[OrionGirl]

So, following the move, I'm still working for my same employer, just remotely. Which means I can be at home, and still get in my 8 hours a day, and get WAY more done! :) I'm really liking it. Here's a pciture of me, hard at work.

What, you not watching the "cat video" over and over?

OG, um, I don't know how to say this, but I think you may have Hypertrichosis. You may want to look into laser hair removal :rolleyes:

Purple couch. Nice touch :D

[YoFishboy]

Does your company consider catnip a reimbursable expense?

[Debra Mark]

OG...she looks like she could be related to Sixx...who graces my avatar...

[OrionGirl]

That's Maggie, actually. :) We call her Magpie--she fetches, and helps with any number of tasks. I got up to move laundry around, and she cuddled up to the laptop. Now she's moved to the back of the couch, where she can supervise not just me, but also watch the dogs sleep on the floor and monitor the birds flying around the back yard. Such a cat!

Deb--does Sixx have more weird behaviors than your average cat? Magpie has more personality than any one cat should!

Hardly working? hmm

I love wireless internet.

[OrionGirl]

Yeah, I do to---though my @#%$&%$ laptop won't run wireless. The card seems to be tanked, though diagnostics say it's fine. Apparently, this particular model is having lots of problems--others have been sent back for repairs, and mine had to go back within the 1st week I had it because the CD/DVD drive crashed and burned--literally, as there was actually smoke coming from it. It works fine otherwise, though, so I'm just plugging in to the router rather than sending it back and being without a computer.

Yeah, I do to---though my @#%$&%$ laptop won't run wireless..Who makes it? With others getting repairs too, maybe you can get it fixed at no charge(?)...

That's not the problem--the problem is that I'd have to send it back to Gateway for repairs, and since I'm working remotely, without the laptop and it's software, I can't work. No easy way to get a spare, no desktop to work from instead, and even if IT would mail me a spare, the spare laptops are crappy. Totally crappy. Completely inadequate for the work I'm doing. So, it means I just don't get to run wireless, which really isn't a big deal. :) If I could work wirelessly, I would end up sitting outside all day, and get a ferocious sunburn, I'm sure.

Well....she DOES have six toes on each foot (original name, huh?lol)and I've seen her pick up kibbles with her hands. That's about the extent of her talents...other than having to lay exactly where I need to work, spilling my water all over my desk...and somehow, making it all MY fault!!! lol

[Dangerdoll]

hehehe, I knew you were pretty colorful, OG ;)

I thought that's what cats did best--mine does, anyway!! And he LOVES to try to run his tail through my mouth whilst I sit here on the sofa with the laptop (wifi capable, but I don't even have DSL!!! LOL :o )

[OrionGirl]

Maggie is probably one of the smartest cats I've owned. She does problem solving. Her version of fetch is more complicated than just throwing a toy for her to bring back--it has to be hard for her to get. If you just toss it down the hall, she won't bring it back to you. She wants to have to work for it--her current favorite it to have it thrown into a partially closed box on top of our computer armoire. She opens drawers, knows the difference between her different toys (yes, you can tell her to get her pink mouse, and she brings the pink mouse. Not the blue mouse, not the pink ball). She's pretty impressive. And noisy--talks all the time!

[Dangerdoll]

wow, that's very impressive... must be a ball of interest, that Maggie... where did you get her, OG?
