Wonky Etiquette & Horrible Cat

Wow, what a weird day.

I had to go into the office for a Very Huge Big Deal Global Brand Reveal Event, it was a well-communicated event invite and I truly have to say a great presentation. They did a good job and I think there are good changes ahead.

The presentation was 2 hours long from 11-1 and at the end everyone was starving.

Catered lunch was offered afterwards.

Except they didn't order enough food.

I wasn't even at the back of the line and it was all gone by the time I got to the front.

I heard they said "we didn't expect so many people to show up" but what do you expect when you have a HUGE BIG DEAL presentation and you are actively encouraging people to come to the office?

It's not right to feed some people and not others.

On a very basic level, this is a huge breech of basic hospitality and general human etiquette.

What I think is they just cheaped out with the budget and didn't care about the actual number of attendees.

Especially after what really was a very powerful presentation, it sat wrong with me.

**********

Fucking Pebbles peed on my bed again last night.

I guess she determined I was gone too much for her liking over the last three days.

Let me tell you, there is nothing like being completely exhausted after a long day, being clean and showered, and sliding into bed only to be met with a nasty cold puddle of cat pee which has wrecked your bed and everything must be stripped, enzyme-cleaned, and washed.

It takes three loads of laundry to wash my bed.

This has always been a problem with Pebbles but it's unpredictable.

These days it only seems to happen when she thinks Daya and I have been gone too much over a few days.

I ordered this thing, let's hope it works.

It's expensive, but so is washing my whole bed, mental anguish, and Nature's Miracle is not cheap either.

Pebbles is a very, very difficult cat to live with.

I can't not live my life because of the damn cat.

I can't deal with cat pee on my bed.

I do have a shower curtain for the few occasions I'm gone overnight or something, but I also don't want to live life with a shower curtain on my bed.

I hope this blanket works.
