OMG stupid cats. So we had a cat who ran away years ago who just randomly showed up like five years later. Was amazing and absolutely unexpected. He was a cat who spent a lot of time outdoors since we had dogs and a dog door to our backyard. By the time he came back the dogs were gone and we didn't have the dog door. We tried keeping him inside but he was absolutely miserable and constantly trying to get outside.
I realize that it's reasonable to keep your cats inside, but afaic if your cat is that intent on being outside you should respect their wishes. There's so much of a pet's life that is decided without their consent so if they just want to be outside that bad then you should at least let them have that decision in their lives. Otherwise they'll just be miserable. Let them have some amount of agency in their own lives. Anyway, I just heard my cat outside yowling really loudly along with another cat, and there is one cat who wanders around the neighborhood fighting other cats, mostly at night, and so I assumed my cat was getting attacked. I went all around the block calling my cat's name, only to find 20 minutes later that he was sitting on our neighbor's trash can all of ten feet away from where I started in our own backyard. I'd like to think he wasn't that close the whole time. Dumb cat. He doesn't even know how to **** **** up tbh.

I totally failed to check my schedule for work today and did a no call no show. So when I finally got ahold of my schedule, I flipped the fuck out. So I bolted to work as soon as I found out, and now I write this as my manager is kinda giving me the sweats. Thank God I got here two hours prior to us closing so I can get out of dodge pretty soon.

If you have some occurrences to kill, do it.

Well, as someone once said, "Still around, guys!" Sorry to disappoint you, Batty!
Ophelia hit hard on the southwest coast early this morning and travelled up through the country, causing widespread devastation, taking three lives in the process. About 300,000 homes are without power tonight (thankfully that figure doesn't include us) and every major business shut down today, with no public transport on the road at all. Our Taoiseach (Prime Minister) advised everyone to stay indoors. Needless to say, some did not heed this advice but most did. The storm has now passed, mostly, up into the northern half of the country and is heading on to Scotland. All traces of it should be gone by about 1AM, but the destruction it's left in its wake will last a whole lot longer. Critically though, no damage to the house here, no power outage and everyone is ok. We consider ourselves extremely lucky, and thoughts go out to those who weren't quite so fortunate. https://www.rte.ie/news/2017/1016/91...elia-fatality/

So you got vaguely clipped by a hurricane basically. My thoughts and prayers and legos and ****.

Yeah. We dodged a bullet. Others weren't so lucky. It didn't clip us though: it went right up through the country, probably like a Big Mac and fries goes through you. Yes, I know you work for Burger King. Seriously though: it was ****ing scary - watching trees bend and wave, hoping they weren't going to come down, trying to calculate where they'd hit if they did, waiting every moment for the power to fail, making contingency plans in my head as to what we'd do if it did. What a ****ing day!

Your country is basically the size of a Big Mac though right?
