Very cool! What on?

A new method of controlling heater elements.

More accurate, less energy, less wear and tear.

It's the company's property obviously, but my name is on it.  The associated bonus is nice, but my name is on it.

That's pretty fucking awesome, man!




on a tangent, i spent sunday, monday, and half of yesterday attempting to recover from a cold and then couldnt fall asleep until like 2am. i am with a class today that, while i adore, regularly tests me and i am exhausted to the point of being a little loopy. they are under reign now but i had to threaten to eat them (not literally bc they would have made that weird and also, i ain't ending up in the paper for a joke). i haven't seen them since september so that's to be expected but ugh. also, some other dumbass sub walked off with my folder so i don't have my keys and i am kinda pissed.

I have had my first experience with a verified hell cat.

Having saved at least twenty ferals and kept more than enough cats in my circles, I am awake at 4:30AM babysitting a cat who ate a royal fuckton of litter for the sake of eating litter.

We've done the health problems check. No chance of that being the issue.

Same cat will attack shoes if and only if you haven't worn them for a couple hours, aren't paying attention, and are within five feet of the resulting racket. Knocks over cups with water in them, and never empty ones or non-liquid holding containers. Tears the weather proofing out of the windows. Will keep you awake (to the point of claws and teeth) until you give up on sleep, then curl up in a chair nearby and go to sleep himself once you caffeinate.

I've had literally two dozen cats, minimum, and interacted with hundreds more, and this is the worst behaved one I've ever met.

And for me, the kicker is... Has a thousand toys and between 3 and 6 people AND another cat in the house who play with him all day long.

There is no call for this behavior! But he can't seem to function without actively trying to fuck with people. And he's definitely fucking with people: he never does damage when no ones around, and he will actively walk away from positive attention to knock over a water cup on someone's desk, get everyone screaming, then dash through the door into another room and start grooming himself like what, huh? Wasn't me! Been here the whole time!

I can say one positive thing. When he is informed that something IS A CABLE AND NOT FOOD he gets it and leaves it alone. I respect that.

I do not respect that instead, if he really wants to fuck with electronics, he'll knock water into them. Rat bastard.

I don't believe you, because science says cats are nice.

Or maybe the dog is being lulled into a false sense of security...

They are nice usually! I've been a cat rescuer and big fan of cats for ages, dealt with all kinds of behavioral issues, all of that. Most cats are legitimately wonderful, though sometimes difficult. This one is the exception.

If my only cat experience had been with one like this, I'd have never become a cat person at all. I can finally understand now how some people believe cats are hell demons by default, it's such a consistent pattern of FUCK YOU from this little guy. Absolutely not motivated by positive attention, food, comfort. Motivated exclusively by squirt bottles and watching everyone scream and run into each other in panic.

I think someone is vaguebooking about me but I can't tell because vaguebooking.  So I'll be vague here for fun.

Just a word to the wise, squirt bottles, if you are going to use them, require extreme stealth. Because if the cat knows YOU did it, he will just decide you're bad. And then you get the adversarial thing.
