Frustration meter = high

It’s been a rather frustrating couple days.  Work has been a bear since my Windows Server 2008 upgrade over the weekend.  Issues have been popping up like weeds everywhere, some expected some not.  I have been systematically squashing them as I can but it makes for some difficulty when trying to keep a calm demeanor when my phone rings once again and the voice on the other end starts off with “Fill in the blank isn’t working…”

The Spook situation has been frustrating me as well.  When I fed her after getting home from the vet on Friday and she hungrily gulped down a plate of tuna I figured we were in the clear.  Well in the days since we brought her home she has reverted to hardly eating again.  I have gotten her to eat maybe 3 or 4 times but it’s never a lot.  She hasn’t touched her dry cat food or regular wet cat food, the only stuff she has eaten is tuna that I sit on a plate wherever that cat is currently hiding.  The tuna is ignored often as well. 

I find myself getting very pissed off at the cat.  Everyday I am going through the effort to chop up her food into extra fine sections with a knife only to come back later to see the food sitting untouched.  Last night after coming home to another untouched plate I had an angry one way conversation with the cat where I warned her if the no eating bullshit continued she was going back to the vet.  My stern talk did not seem to make a difference, she refused to eat again last night.  Add on top the joy of trying to give the cat her anti-biotic and pain meds each night and you have an outright boondoggle.  If she doesn’t eat something tonight we will have to call the damn vet again, stupid cat.  If I was being cold and logical I would just let her starve herself.

Ali helped pile on to my mounting annoyance this morning by scolding me for having the radio playing too long on the alarm clock.  Forever my work day wake up routine has been the same, the radio comes on at 5:30 and I usually get up sometime around 5:40 or 5:45 depending on my degree of drowsiness.  Well Ali swears that for the past two weeks I have been letting the radio play longer and she doesn’t like that it causes her to wake up.  I told her she was mistaken, nothing is any different than before.  Of course I didn’t appreciate starting my morning by getting bitched at for something stupid. Especially from someone  whose feet rarely touch the floor before 8 am.

Bill Clinton got those two reporters released from North Korea, he’s the man.
