Wednesday - 09-30-09, The cat could be going.

We got up this morning, and trouble was at the edge of our bed on the floor. We talked nicely to him, and tried to pet him. What did he do? He growled at us, and swatted at us. So we filled his food up, and went about our morning. I noticed Scratch seemed calmer the last night.
I got a call as I was pulling into the parking lot. It was from Cathy. She talked to her supervisor, and she agreed that we can't have a cat that is acting this mean to us, and peeing on the walls. So she told Cathy that she would make arrangements to come pick it up. Cathy wasn't sure at this point when she would pick it up, but she did say that they decided that they would try the liter we use for Scratch. Her supervisor thinks that maybe her boyfriend is actually sneezing from the liter and not being allergic to the cat.
Jon and Harry both came over to open my safe. After they left I counted my money, and got a drawer set up. When I went to put it in I saw they were out on the patio looking at my menu. Jon asked me what Gluten Free items we offered. I told him that the only ones we knew of were our potato chips, and possibly our nacho chips. I said if we have other ones, then I wasn't aware of them. He told Harry that they have a bunch of gluten free items in the park, and they were discussing what they could give me when they walked away.
Around 10:30 a group walked by the stand. They reminded me that they would be Milton Hershey kids. Since most of the Milton Hershey kids are really rude, I was happy when they didn't stop in.
Around 11:00 two mothers with children went by. The kids ran up onto the patio, but the mom's wouldn't buy them anything. I think this is going to be another really slow day. One good thing is I got the feeding schedule done for our baby dragon.
Cathy kept saying she would be able to remember when the baby dragon gets fed, but last night she asked me if it got fed today. I told her that it would get fed in the morning, and decided that I would do up a feeding chart. It was really easy to do. I just entered it into outlook as an appointment, told it that it recurred every other day, gave it no end date, and put it in a category of its own. That way I could just print the "pets" category, and see what we have for any of the pets.
I figured this also would make it easier to keep track if we have any kind of appointments for them to remember. Even if it isn't our pets. I know Cathy helps her mom from time to time with her pets, so I could add that as well. I figure around the end of each month I’ll print out the next month's calendar.
At 11:30 I got my first customer, and he only purchased an apple juice. I'm guessing it was for a kid. He asked for a cup with a straw for it. Most adults will just drink it out of the bottle, but most kids end up spilling it that way.
Unfortunately I had two customers by noon. Even though they didn't get much it’s still usually enough for me to have to stay open the whole. Unless I get a call from someone asking how busy I was, I won't plan on closing early.
By 1:00 I hadn't even made $10.00, and I didn't see anyone walking around the zoo. I really hoped that I could close early, but I didn't see that happening. None of the brown tags were at their desks. They were all in a meeting. So until they were done with the meeting there would be no one to make a decision on closing.
It was a pretty slow day today, which I figured it would be. The busiest time for me was in the 2-3 o'clock hour. That doesn't surprise me though. I was working on getting precleaning done, and I usually get busier when I'm trying to preclean.
I got home, and plugged my phone in to charge, and there was a message on it. Cathy called to tell me that her supervisor was coming to pick the cat up. So I went and got our food from the pizza shop, and when Cathy got home we started eating. She told me that they were coming around 6:00 to get the cat. They showed up, loaded everything up, and left. They are going to try to force her daughter to take the cat.
Cathy went to her training class, and I started doing my tasks. I hooked up my amateur radio, and tested. In doing so I blew a fuse in it, but found it works with a few problems. I found what is wrong with the mic, and the antenna. So I have to work on fixing them and look for a new fuse. I will probably do that tomorrow. After getting that done, I did a few more things about the apartment, and then watched my TV shows.
