I haven’t said anything about it, but as of a week ago, I have a new job.
Well, OK, it’s the same job I’ve been doing for the last three years. The “new” part of it is that I’ve been converted from “contractor” status to “regular” at Major Telecommunications Company Which Shall Remain Nameless.
Technically, I’m a manager now, and not even an first-level manager, but my duties are essentially the same. They can assign subordinates to me now, I guess, but I can’t imagine why they’d need to do so. I’m pretty sure I’d rather manage networks than people, anyway.
My first day as a regular was Friday the 15th, so in the mail today — for the first time in over 10 years — I received an actual physical paycheck… for one day’s work. The 15th was the last day of the MTCWSRN pay period.
I’ve done direct deposit for so long, I’m not sure I remember what to do with one of these things.

Mycah seems to be back to her normal self.
The tests came back normal, and there is no apparent reason for the blood spots she left on the carpet last week; I’m thinking she just did it to freak me out.
It’s possible, I suppose, that the blood came from somewhere other than a UTI. I see no sign of any injury on her, but perhaps there was something — it might explain why she was moving so slowly last week.
The vet has put her on a different variety of prescription food, and she’s gobbling it right down and begging for more, the little piggy.
I mentioned that when I went to pick Mycah up on Monday afternoon, I would be bringing Kismet in with me for his rabies update, and to have his sneezy sniffles checked out. There doesn’t appear to be any reason for the snottiness, but he’s getting lycine in his food three times a day now, so that may help.
The lumps under his armpits are back, too. Having ruled out ringworm the last time these lumps were an issue, the vet now wants to biopsy them. In the meantime, he’s on Clavamox twice daily.
Fingers crossed.
