Cynical and sin-stained
I dub today "Naughty Pet Day"
So first, the fishtank - Our plecostomus (big scary bottom-feeder dude) knocked over the broken flowerpot he normally sleeps in, and crushed one of the poor baby angelfish to death. That was a lovely thing to wake up to.

Then a few minutes ago, I hear a big crashing thud and my mom yelling. Seems the cat somehow managed to knock over a potted geranium that weighs about ten times as much as she does. I think the plecostomus helped her somehow.

In other news, I am starting to get a bit mopey about our art contest. Twisty's internet connection is unstable at best, so he's not around much, and there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of interest in it yet. Hopefully it will perk up soon. I mean, we're offering over 600K worth of prizes, you'd think it would drum up a little more interest ><. We've gotten a few really nice entries so far though biggrin

Work seems to be sorta looking up. They moved me to a quiet corner near the lounge, since they needed my old desk for a new hire. For a while I was worried that I was at risk of being fired, but I figure they wouldn't have gone to the hassle of moving me (switching my blueprint cabinet, procuring a new computer, hooking up my phone line, it was a bloody two-day process) if they were just gonna fire me later. And my boss is asking one of the other temps to do work I was supposed to do, since he knows I'm too busy to do it. So it's almost like I've got my own assistant now.

    Quiet corners = Best Gaia place ever, be it at school, work, or home.

    The plecostomus influenced the cat while she was watching the fishtank. They're known to have very interesting ways at persuading and influencing people.

    You've got a filthy assistant now! You should totally send them out for monkey burgers. Actually, no, that would be gross and you're probably allergic to monkey. Send them out for bread instead.

    Also, I sort of like the bottom-feeder fish. Looks like a dinosaur, possessed of either malice or clumsiness, right up my alley. xd heart

    Oh, I love the bottom feeder. The fact that he was named after our prime minister also amuses me to no end.

    Another one of the angelfish (oddly enough named Hitler) died this morning though. so I'm starting to think it may not have been Harper's fault that the other one died. He may already have been bait by the time the pot fell over.

    Maybe I should send her out for a bucket of eyeballs instead.

    I hope the Art contest gets better, I know what you mean though. Seems since art auctions became popular, no one wants to do contests or even regular requests. I understand they give the artist more control (and heck, more gold), but it makes me a sad panda nonetheless.

    Kudos on getting a semi-assistant, it's always good to have someone to boss around xd
