Last night I dreamt that my cat, Eve, was actually a mouse. As a mouse, she was attacked by a rat. She managed to defend herself, but was injured. I went to get something to help make her more comfortable, to look after her. When I returned, I discovered that she’d been attacked by another rat! She still managed to defend herself, and was still alive, with a dead rat on either side of her. However, she was badly injured and dying.
I laid down next to her and tried to comfort her, as she couldn’t move. Her breathing was heavy, and even though she was a mouse, it was obvious she was pain. I laid down next to her and tried comforting her, holding her and patting her, while speaking to her, pleading with her not to die, that she was going to be ok, and that I loved her. I was crying in the dream while doing this, knowing she was dying on me. And then she stopped breathing, and I started crying, deep in sorrow.

I’ve found out a few more details on Thursday about what my ‘role’ is, which I talked about here. Three days a week will be spent at a new location, and I’ll be sort of a ‘Service Desk Advisor’. My role will be to advise this other company on how to develop their own service desk procedures for a new major client. As they create their procedures, I’ll be in the background providing advice on good or bad aspects, how to do things better, etc. Basically to bring in ‘real world’ knowledge to their development. None of their developers have service desk experience, so that’s why I’m going to be advising them.
I think it’s awesome that I was chosen for this role. It’s also awesome that my involvement will require me to be trained up in some new software applications, as well as in ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library - ‘the best processes of managing IT services’). The experience, and the training, are going to be great as I move forward in IT.
I’ll be starting Monday, working there from Mon - Wed each week for the next month or two, and working Thu - Fri back at my normal place of work. The other company was going to get me to work on someone else’s laptop, but I requested that they enable my current laptop on their network, so that I have convenience for working between locations. They approved it. Sweet.

I came upon this blog (Paulies Place) that had a post about a recent law passed in the US. I’d heard of this law, but Paulie put it in such a way that I understood it even more. It’s now a crime to annoy anyone on the internet, only if you’re doing it anonymously. It’s ok to annoy people if you put your own name to it.
I agree with what Paullie said:
…proves once again that lawmakers are no more intelligent then the people who pack your groceries. Seriously, how are they going to define annoyance? I mean, I’m annoyed on the daily just by surfing Blog Explosion. Hell, I probably annoy the shit out of some of you bitches too! Am I committing a crime now? What a steaming pile of horseshit this law represents! You probably already guessed that you have a Republican’t to thank for this. Say thank you! Idiots.

Rare are those of you who live your life for a future. There are not enough of you. The majority of you squander your time in inane pursuits that have no meaning. You have no concept of human co-operation, of working together as a species to achieve your future, your destiny. Your future has no meaning to you, because you base no importance on your present day lives. How can you achieve the bright future you hope for when you do nothing for it today?
I came to your world to analyse your readiness to join the Enlightened, and yet what I found was disappointing. I studied your history, and I found that a greater sense of enlightenment existed amongst you thousands of years ago, but not any more. Your desire for individuality has taken you away from understanding your connection with each other, and brought you to a spiritual standstill.

Our planned trip to Lake Wairarapa didn’t happen, due to a severe storm warning and gale force winds.
I find it bizarre that the very first major storm for the year happens on the very day that we want to go camping. Go figure.
