        Some loose dogs caused my chickens to panic yesterday and one of the hens broke her beak in her blind panic. I keep money in a savings account solely for pet emergencies but the vet was so expensive that it just about cleaned me out. Simply because someone was irresponsible with their dogs! I hope my poor hen recovers. She is in the house with me (in my lap now).

          Poor thing . I hope she gets better . People who just let their animals run wild are not very good people . And no one will care until it’s a child who gets hurt .

          At the moment I have to search at different online image agencys for pictures of jails for a book cover I have to do at work. Never imagined how depressing it can be to look at all these… 🙁
          I will never ever complain when I have to look for some happy woman pictures!

            Do you have air conditioning at home? 😮

            Guess what happened to me today? —> The ceiling in my room starting leaking just as Regina (our veterinarian’s assistant) was arriving to clean the turtle tank.
            ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! :shout:
            Earlier in the week I had a terrible stomach flu. :puke:
            Then my cat was ill again! (He’s on a new laxative though and he should be okay) No more dry food for my cats.
            :nea:

            Update: The problem with my ceiling has been fixed…for now.

            Melody, if the AC upstairs is broke and no computer time here is the cheese to go with it, more painting time for you on dragons and other wonderful things for the rest of us right!

                I hear ya, Mum. It’s been 40 degrees at night and 80 degrees during the day here. Just enough to give us all the sniffles.

                So, back in July, I got a job offer to take a position with NYS. It was 30% more than what I was making (I was severely underpaid as a Unix Systems Administrator, working nights, and the safety of the location was becoming more and more questionable). Well, I’ve been working at the new job for almost 4 weeks and it is NOTHING like what they told me the job would entail. It was very misrepresented to me. I was told I’d need to learn Oracle and Javascript (Oracle would be nice to work with in conjunction with Unix, and I already know some SQL databasing). I was even given code to do in my interview. Get to the job. Will I ever need it? Nope. No point in knowing it. Literally, I could just know how to operate a computer and be able to do this job. Scripts? They aren’t programming scripts, they are ‘case scenarios’ or step by step written things to test an application for defects. Seriously? So, I’m being paid a lot more, but I’m literally sitting on my butt doing next to nothing. Can’t move to another position for at least 6 months to a year either. I’ve also got 5-8 years tech experience above everyone else on the team (fairly recent college grads and it’s a new group, and all recent hires). :

                So, I am applying to other jobs. I applied to one and they made me a verbal offer. It’s pretty low though (pretty much the same as I’m making now), because they are taking advantage of the amount I made just before going to the State, however, I personally know several others who just got hired to that same position and were hired for a lot more. Now I have to haggle to offered something appropriate (I’m not a haggler and have no experience with it). *feels like pounding head against wall*

                      OH GAWD… when will the smell go away?! That marsh fire has been burning for how many days now?? Blech!! I’m in Baton Rouge and can smell it. I feel for the people who live closer to New Orleans. It’s not a lovely campfire smell. It’s an acrid/putrid burning decay smell. I can only imagine how nauseating it must be closer to the source. *gags*

                              Huh, I’ve had a Seagate back up drive for years now, and it works great. It was also a lifesaver when my 4 year old HP laptop crashed.

                              To be honest, I would recommend looking into backing everything up onto an external hard drive, then look into getting your computer a larger hard drive. I don’t think I can come close to filling up the one I have now.
