Stepping Up

Today it turns out a lot of the family needed to go the library. But Momoko and Little Kat came home late. We had Little Kat check the library hours. Ooops. They close early tonight. So the only thing we could do was go play some tennis.

As we got to the park with the tennis courts, we saw a couple entering the courts. They usually play beside us. We passed them and went to the far court. In the beginning, Little Kat was slacking. None of his shots were going over the net. He was not moving any on the returns. He would just swing his racket wildly.

I taught him how to bounce the ball on the ground before serving. Then I tried putting him in the back court to get him moving some more. Momoko had an even better idea. She say out for a few rounds, and pitted Kit Kat and myself against Little Kat. There was no more room to slack. Little Kat had to work the whole side of the court against Kit Kat and myself. He started to step up and return some serves. A few of his hits went into the court next to us. But he continues to improve his tennis game as long as we push him hard.

The Return of Kit Kat

Kit Kat got sick Monday night. She stayed home from school the last couple days. It is going to be a huge chore to catch up on homework and tests.

While Kit Kat was down, Little Kat had to pick up the slack. He was our little cook. Then he washed the dishes. It is a hard knock life.

Luckily Kit Kat was feeling a little better tonight. She cooked us some "breakfast for dinner". There was bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Good times.

Momoko is looking to get on a low sodium diet. She plans to start after the next trip to the grocery store. Good luck to her.

Stealth Mode

Sometimes I think that I hate my job. It mainly revolves around the times when I am forced into working late or working the weekends. In an ideal world I would just quit. But that won't serve any good purpose. I need to pay those bills. What is a cat to do?

Well I have determined some courses of action. If I have to work late and work weekends sometimes, I should also be able to slack off at other times. Even though I share an office with another guy, he is always on the road. So I essentially have my own office. That has proved beneficial.

Unless I have a meeting I need to go to, I normally don't come in on time any more. I still get my work done because I am very proficient. I also try to get the heck out of work at the end of the day too. I just tell my peers that I am sick of working late every day. Then I just bolt at 3:00 or 3:30 PM regardless of when I get in. This makes me happy. Don't get mad. Just get even.
