Gizmo's been getting more and more upset with Celty, not less. Originally, he was graining weight - I think someone else may have been feeding him when he went outside - but I weighed him today and he's actually at 11 lbs (!).

So...

My mother's planning on getting rid of her in some way, whether that means giving her to my brother, bringing her back, or bringing her to the SPCA...

Anyone local interested in a kitten?

Or anyone have any suggestions for getting them to get along (unlikely, but, I'm still open to suggestions)?

A little bit of risky business, telling your potential employer that you might only be around a month. But I did it.

You see, I have two options at the moment:

I have an employer who's interested in hiring me (at least, I originally thought this; the above news seems to have rattled his cage a bit), who'll be giving me 12-14$/hour.

I have another potential employer who's to contact me "within a month or so" to let me know whether or not I'm hired. They, however, would pay me approximately 25$/hour (if my calculations are right: 50,255$ - 58,000$ yearly was their figure)!

Obviously, the danger here is threefold:

If I insist to the first employer that I may only work for about a month, he may decide I'm not worth the time and not hire me (though, as I understand it, there are several openings in this position).

If I accept the first job, the second employer may slam the door in my face if I tell them I can only work in two weeks from their notification (I really don't want to "quick quit", especially seeing as it's become kind of a standard).

If I don't accept the first job, I may not even get the second job in the first place (despite still qualifying for two out of three positions), and be left with nothing.

The whole "Which would you prefer doing?" question doesn't help, either, as I'd like to do either.

Grr. I wish employers were more open about applicants' chances of being hired, even if it were a simple "You're one out of X applicants left.".

Yes, my cell is once again unusable.

Oops.
