Dear IT Department,

Sending out an email to say that the email system isn't working doesn't really do me much good. Nor do the 3 status updates you sent on the progress while it was out.

I guess it's a good thing that it's taken 3 years for my cat to find a situation she needed help to get out of . She jumped up to the top of a cupboard this morning and the ledge she jumped from has stuff on it... so she couldn't just jump down onto it. Luckily I had a little ladder that let me get high enough to reach her.

She's complained at me from the house roof, but she has a few routes down from that. This one was new. I think she was looking for a bird she brought inside yesterday, which escaped.

I recognize that it's normal for cats to overstep their reach but this is the first time for this cat. So I guess I'm fortunate.

I setup an in house IM app just for this type of thing, oh and as a side effect dropped traffic on the mail servers about 20% as people started using it for quickies.

(And yes that is a fat one right over the plate for you Kevy)

Thank you: I'm a big fan of the in-house IM app.

An awesome tale of how a gender equality in the workplace prank turned out.

So, the Carousel of Progress dad's current head is not proportional to his body. It's too big. Not only that but in the second scene (1920's), his head is a bit askew, giving him a zombie vibe. It's the one and only time I had the distinct feeling an anamatronic was about to come after the audience.

alphabassettgrrl · 05-19-2013, 07:56 PM

That made me laugh.

Wow, how could they get the size of the head wrong? Wierd...

Enjoy your trip!

Interesting, but not for the faint of heart. You've probably heard about how, when climbers die on Mt. Everest, they are unable to recover the bodies, so they are left where they died. Well this link is a photo essay of them.
