One of our members just came into our office. She had to cancel a class next week because her cats are having issues.

Apparently one of them is a Taurus and the other is a Gemini and those are contradictory star-signs. 

It's noon on Friday. Can I drink now?

HAHAHAHAHA

I have one or two cat people in my life who would probably pull the same thing.

I do not understand these people. Dogs FTW.

Well I think that noon=lunchtime and you can definitely have a glass of wine (or two, or three) with lunch! Also, seriously? That lady is nuts.

I'm sorry. What? !?

Please tell me this isn't a religious ed class.

@banana468 -- No, thank GOD. It's continuing education for professionals.

Not sure if that makes it better or worse....

pumpkinsandturkeys

Um... I think you need to alter the organization's definition of 'professional.'

I was afraid your DRE could come up with a reason that following astrological signs was acceptable bit your yoga was going to send you into a downward spiral.

In all seriousness, I know your pain. My organization does CE and certification and there is a whole lot of crazy up in here.

WHAT. That is actually pretty hilarious though. Well, my cats are both Aries so I guess I shouldn't expect any major issues right?! 

And it is never too early to start drinking on a Friday!

NOT ENOUGH NOPE

Well jeez. I know BF's cat and mine are going to have issues, but astrology has nothing to do with it. BF's cat is twice as big as mine, and mine has attitude problems.

All the booze for you, @hisgirlfriday13.

Yeeeeesssssss. No.

I used to work with a woman who took the job because it was "flexible".  Now when the agency said that what they really meant was "We expect you to be flexible and not complain about 15 hour days, getting home at midnight, or working weekends because you need to meet your client's needs and see them whenever works for them".  Not "You can make your own hours just make sure the work is done".  She was upset because she thought they meant that latter (and in her defense they presented it that way in the interview, at least they did in my interview) and that she would be able to collect a full time paycheck and still spend lots of time at home with her "daughter" who had four legs, a tail, and was a canine.

If she believes in astrology, then why did she get cats with contradictory signs in the first place? She should have got astrologically compatible cats to avoid potential problems *rolls eyes*

I had wine with lunch yesterday, so noon is definitely not too early for a drink!

Hahahaha... That is funny. I don't even know what signs my cats are.

That's because no one should know what sign their pets are.

KeptInStitches

That's a little unfair, @pumpkinsandturkeys. I know the birthday of my childhood cat and my cat, and we assigned a close-enough birthday to BF's cat.

pumpkinsandturkeys

@KeptInStitches -- I didn't mean any offence! I just meant that it's a little extreme if people are going to plan having pets with complementary astrological signs. I was a little reductive with my previous comment, and I apologise for that,

MaryGraceRich

My cat is licking his own ass right now. It must have been written in the stars.
*rolls eyes*

KeptInStitches

No worries, @pumpkinsandturkeys.

My mother used to use astrology to try and control us.  She would insist we should do something she wanted because of the stars that day.  To this day, I avoid astrology.
In college, a young man spent hours writing my chart, and then proceeded to tell me that we were destined to unite sexually, and that our union was ordained by the stars (No, it didn't work.  Quite a line, though! Ha,ha!)
My DH is president of the local astronomy club.  There is a telescope the size of a hot water heater in our garage.

So jealous! H and I live down the road from NASA and I can't wait to take my dad when he comes in for a visit. I actually plan on joining their 'passport' program and visiting as many of the NASA locations as possible. I'm a total dork.

Greenbelt, MD?  I used to drive through it every day on my way to work when I lived in Laurel.  One of the reasons we retired to Colorado was to be near the clear skies.  There is a light pollution regulation in our neighborhood because we are next to the Colorado National Monument.  No street lights allowed, no porch lights after 10:00PM, and no outdoor lighting (except at Christmas).  It's perfect for a telescope nerd.
Downside:  We met when we were 15.  Junior year of high school, he told me he was going to show me the stars.  I thought, oh, goody.  Romance!  Nope.  I got an astronomy lecture and a trip to the planetarium.

I'm a day and a half late to this one.....but HisGirl, I've discovered something important- the Smithsonian Natural History Museum sells wine in the food court! Over priced little bottles of wine, but wine nonetheless! DH (I get to say DH now!) and I split one to help relax to the clamor of munchkin school children everywhere.

HisGirlFriday13

@Chipmunk915 you DOOOOOOO get to say 'DH'!!!!

Squeeeeeee!

And welcome back!!
