This is sad, but true…

The Miracle of Life…

“Come quick, come quick”, their mother said “The time is getting near”
She feels that when the kittens come the children should be here.
She told them that a big orange Tom took “Kitty” as his wife
“It’s wonderful, a gift from God, the miracle of life”
At half a year young “Kitty” feels too painful and too scared
to appreciate six miracles, blind-eyed and yellow haired.
But she knows these lives depend on her and nature tells her how
and as she cleans them, children ask “Mom, can we go now?”
But now and then for six more weeks the children visit her
to play with six new magic toys made of life and fur.
The six weeks pass, the newness gone and new homes yet unfound,
Mom bundles up six miracles and takes them to the pound,
Where lovingly, with gentle hands and no tears left to cry,
the shelter workers kiss them once and take them off to die.
And “Momma Kitty” now she’s called mourns her loss and then,
she’s put outside, and of course, she’s pregnant once again.
Dad tells “Kitty” STOP THIS NOW or you won’t live here long!
but deep inside of Momma Cat, this time something’s wrong.
Too young, too small, too often bred now nature’s gone awry,
Momma Kitty feels it too and she crawls off to die.
She too is freed from this cruel world, and from her time of strife.
How harsh the truth, how high the price this “Miracle of Life”?

I survived it

The interview, that is. I don’t think it went too badly, but I don’t have a good feeling either. At this point, I’m just glad that it’s over, as I hate interviews in general. I had the questions beforehand, so I was pretty much prepared. They all seemed pretty receptive though, so now, it’s just a matter of waiting… The results should be in by the end of October. There were only 20 people at the exam, and I’m not sure if all of them passed, so there might be a fair bit of competition. I do have a slight advantage – I’ve worked here for about a year, and I’m a visible minority. (I don’t like using that to get in, but hey, what can you do?)

So, my first  government interview. Now I know what to expect in the future.

Techno + kittens = kawaii!!!!

The “Mews”

Yeah, a lot has happened since I last posted on here. Now, for the mews:

Work: I have an interview for the job that I’m currently in, on Monday. If I get the term, it would be wonderful, as I wouldn’t have to deal with the placement agency taking so much of my paycheque. All the money I make would be mine! Not to mention all the other perks that come with being an actual government employee, and not just a contractor. I’m nervous, as I tend to be shy, and do horribly at interviews, but my boss has coached me a bit, so it may work out.

Elections: I’ve made up my mind, finally. I’m voting McGuinty. Not Liberal, mind you, as I despise Dion as a leader, and the party really needs to get their act together before we put them back in government. I say I’m voting McGuinty, since he’s the only one who stands a chance here in the south end, and honestly, I kind of like him. Not as much as I do his older brother, but I ran into him while he was campaigning on Smyth Rd., and I was on the home stretch of my run. I stopped, and he started chatting with me, and I gave him my ring code, so that his crew can get into my building to campaign. Not to mention that he “checked me out”…I love that kind of attention from any hot guy, and my mind was made up then! Now, that has got to be the easiest vote that he’ll get, considering that I voted Tory in the last 2 elections.

That’s it for this issue of The Mews!

68 views!

Yay! it says that yesterday, Tuesday September 9th, 2008, was OMM’s busiest day ever! I had a total of 68 views! Isn’t that someting. I think that it’s being on Uncultured’s blog roll that’s helping me a lot…it says that most of my traffic is coming from there. Thanks Kevin!

Another thing is the post about the Maneki Neko tattoo… apparently, a lot of people are searching for such a design, and are coming here to check it out. I should get that design copyrighted, the last thing I want to see is someone stealing my design.

Anyways, I have to keep this one short, since I’m at work, adn don’t want to get caught. Meow!

I think I’ve decided

that I’ll vote for the hot guy, once again. As I mentioned before, the Liberals are disorganized, and have a wimpy leader, and the NDP… who knows? I noticed a lot of Green party signs around here today during my run, but there were double the amount of re-elect McGuinty signs. Oh well, I’ll just vote for Harper the hottie, one less vote for the Liberals. I know it’s not the greatest reason to vote for someone, but I’m disillusioned at this point. Let’s just get it over with, so we can get back to business. It would be nice if they got a majority this time around…that’s not likely though.

Anyways, trying to think about happier things, the cats are doing great, except for the occasional rough-and-tumble cat fight that seems to happen every night after we’ve gone to bed. We usually let them go at it, until there’s either too much thumping, or Neko yelps on the top of her lungs once Priya gets a hold of her, then it’s spray time. I think it’s a conspiracy to get into the most violent fight after we’re pretty much dozing off, to get us up, and paying attention to them. Who knows what goes through their little heads.

People on the Net are just plain strange. Yesterday, when I was playing MapleStory, some guy asks if I want to go out with his friend, in the game. I’m like “it’s just a game, dudes, chill out!” I mean, in the game, they have little weddings and crap, and you’ll see the occasional “looking 4 a gf, ovr lvl 25 no noobs” shoutout, that everyone can see. Whatever, I just play to relieve stress, and I’m only on for an hour every 2 days or so. In other words, I have a life outside of the Internet! I never really thought much of it, until I got “hit on”. I suppose people do it in Second Life and stuff, but this is MapleStory. It’s just a little “fantasy” world where you travel and kill monsters. Not a Second Life type of thing. People take these games way too seriously. Anyways, I’ll leave you with a pic of my character in MS, my “mini-me” always looks pissed… why would someone ask her out? Strange.

this is my avatar in the game, I made it to resemble me somewhat.

 

 

Not another election…

again. Being the political junkie that I am, you’d think an election would be welcome news, but not this time. Actually, I’m somewaht bummed out by the prospect of having a new minister at our department, and no longer the hot guy. In fact, it’s quite depressing, since my job is utterly unmotivating, and it already takes a lot of effort just to get through one day there… Whenever I get discouraged, I just think of the hot minister, and it makes things a lot better. Odd, I know. I even have his pic in my office to remind me that it’s not that bad. Even if the Tories get re-elected, there’ll be a cabinet shuffle.

At this point, I’m undecided. I like Harper, I think he’s hot, but that’s not a good reason for voting for someone. Then again, I live in “McGuinty-ville”, possibly the most liberal area in Ottawa. I like them provincially, but not at all federally. They need to get their shit together, before they can govern a country again. My cats have made it clear that they are voting Green…they keep saying “May” as in Elizabeth May… What do they think? That if the Greens get elected, they’ll get more catnip and cat grass? Oh well, as long as they’re not Dion supporters, it’s all good.

The Adventures of Ottawa Meow Meow: Mitsu vs. the Evil Silicone Witch of Gatineau

So, I should write about stuff that pisses me off, eh? Well then, here’s a little story for you. I’ve been having to deal with the most vapid, slutty bitch with fake boobs, who would do anything to try and push my buttons/make me jealous/piss me off, and does she ever!

Last week she came back to work after a 2-month long vacation. Now, I don’t care who you think you are, no one in the government takes as much vacation as this ho. Then on her first day back, she tells me that she was partying at some club in Mtl with a former hot politician who I liked. (Note the past tense there, once he got caught in a messy security breach and got fired, I got turned off) Yeah, I was a bit peeved, but I got home, went for a long run, played MapleStory, and forgot about it. Called it a night.

Then next day, all was fine and well at work, the morning went by without a snag. Then in the afternoon, this bitch starts doing this little “na-na-na” childish thing, where she rubbed it in my face that she met him, and that he was staring at her big boobies.  Was I ever pissed at this point! I’m sure that if I were an anime character, there would have been that angry look on my face, and the black stormcloud over my head. The bimbo even remarked that I looked pissed off. Brilliant observation, Detective!  That afternoon, I sat in my office, fuming, and annoyed that so many guys wanted this girl just because she had fake boobs,  and despite the fact that she’s not all that pretty, and is extremely immature. When I got home, Hottie told me to “forget about it, she’s just a slut”, and even though I tried, I couldn’t get her taunting voice out of my head. (That’s one part of depression, little things can ruin your whole day, prevent you from sleeping, etc). I felt really bad about myself at the time, thinking that the reason why I never got noticed by guys, and didn’t get any respect, was because of my little “kitty titties”.

On Wednesday, I was trying not to think too much about it, and trying to live my life. That afternoon, I was talking to one of the admins, when she walks in, and starts going on about it again! At first, I walked out, with my hands over my ears, going “laa-laa-laa”, but when I heard her laughing at me, I snapped. I stormed in there, yelled at her, and expressed my disgust. I tore into that bitch, knocking her slutty dress, her fake jugs, and her nasty ass attitude. She was so shocked, just looking at me, and doing a nervous laugh. I stood up, and faced that demon whore, and told her off!!! I felt empowered, as if my small show of aggression, without resorting to violence, intimidated her, which it did! I have never felt better about myself! I figuratively slayed that bitch!!! THIS…IS….SPARTA!!!!! (Sorry, I use that mantra a lot, when faced with adversity. It’s simple…just keep fighting, like the Spartans)

Anyways, the story ended well. It’s been a week since this happened, and she still won’t talk to me using more than 2 sentences, and she’s keeping it professional. Her office mate told me that the evil bitch is actually a bit scared of me, since she thinks I’m a psycho that will go off without warning and kick the silicone right out of her. It’s because I tend to be quiet and unassuming, so that was unexpected. Oh well, I don’t mind being considered a psycho, if it grants me some respect and peace!

I will post more of the Adventures of Ottawa Meow Meow once they happen. I think it’s kind of cute!

I’m back

from a blogging hiatus. I wasn’t really feeling inspired to post, and then again, it’s summer. I was out and about, enjoying the nice weather and all.

So, not much has changed anround here, Neko & Priya are the best of friends now, and I’ve got some new pics of them. Hottie’s doing ok as well, I suppose. We’ve had to discuss his lack of interest in me, and after that, things have changed for the better.

I hear that there might be an election soon. It’s all fine and well, but this time, I’m not looking forward to it. If there’s an election, the cabinet will change, and I won’t have the hot minister anymore… it’s kind of sad, it’s one of the things that keep me motivated to work where I am now, instead of seeking out another contract somewhere else. (if you look back to my older posts, or have been keeping up with my blog, you’ll know who the “hot minister” is…he’s really short).

Anyways, I need to think of some material to post on here… I’ll leave you now with some pictures of my girls.
