I are in top form today. Sent a
letter off on spot/flood lights in track lighting that I thought gay genes
made unnecessary, and found somebody had installed a Co2 detector. My
comeuppance is surely overdue. Even Laurel
has resisted firing back to my barrage of helpful job-search websites. Must be
nice to friends. Must quash evil hand. Yes, that's it, the bad hand made me do
it. And I'm seriously starting to think about getting a price check on copper
flashing for the new roof, not that I can afford the new roof with the
wonderful pay cuts at work... hmm, anybody need a know-it-all techie writer?

And I may get to work early... Sent home a complicated PowerPoint animation sequence I was trying to do to see if XP was better. It has much more animation capabilities than 2000 or 97 (not that anything other than the full PowerPoint supports them), but their animation control panel and little timelines on the slide made it impossible for me to figure out what was going on. It did let me drag things up and down the animation timeline, which was the main reason I wanted to try it. But since I was trying to animate four layers of overlapping objects, I had too much trouble determining where everything was and when it was getting animated. I finally broke the slide back down to multiple interlaced slides with two layers of animation each to simplify controlling the objects, but I used 2000 PowerPoint to do it. Did I mention that XP PowerPoint was also freaking out with the layers? Some of the slides appeared animated even while I was trying to work on them. One never did settle down enough to start working on it. Getting in and out of preview involved much flipping of objects. Maybe I really oughta buy a P4 or upgrade the video card...

What kinda cat? Hmm...
What Kind of Cat Would You Be?

Persian
The Persian is a relaxed observer. She quietly takes in the details of her surroundings and is happiest in her role as a spectator. The Persian will gladly accept affection, but does not often seek it out. Her loving and patient nature makes her an ideal housemate while her stress-free nature will allow her to make friends with whoever stops by. The Persian’s greatest past time is grooming her thick, tangle-prone fur, but it’s worth the effort, because she always looks fabulous!
