Scrape the mat, pee on the carpet, run up and down, flinging themselves against the window etc. Maybe mine are just mad.

Yeah I've had some cats to hate other cats, but peeing on the carpet and "flinging themselves against the window" just cause another cat's outside is pretty extreme. I think your cats are just ****heads.

More than likely. Molly broke the previous blinds on Karen's window by constantly going behind them, seeing another cat, jumping back then forward. I had to get them replaced with wooden ones.

With every bit of patriotic copy that I write for veterans and memorial day, I die a little more inside. It's honestly easier for me to write a 2000 word piece of financial advice than a genuine sounding 20 word post supporting the troops.

I'm down with empathizing with people who went through combat and experienced the kind of **** they did, but it's almost impossible to put that into words without sounding like a Republican shill.

So what you're saying is that Republicans are the voice of the people?

I just set up a new CAD station in our office and getting ready to do some interviews for a new CAD jockey. This time, I'm doing the interviews. The last couple of people our HR person decided to hire screwed up a lot of ****. I usually just start from scratch if I see any of their credentials on drawings I have to touch now days. Working in 3D is a hard concept for some people to grasp, not to mention understanding, knowing, and working with standard drafting principals. The funny part is all the resume's I'm getting from people that have no experience what so ever, but had used AutoCad for a week or maybe like (oh, I don't know) an hour in college. Hmmm, I see your only employment has been "Cashier at Target", and you have a degree in Psychology. Sure! You're qualified to design a fire training facility. Come on down, you can start right away. Some of these are pretty friggin comical. Do people even read the job description before pressing 'apply'? Probably not. Not looking forward to some of this, but I was reminded just how much I enjoy installing, setting up, and tweaking software.

Do you think that celebrating veterans proliferates the military industrial complex and warmongering?

I think it gets us veteran clients.

Can I work from home? 20 years of Solidworks experience and 31 years of mechanical design experience.
