"Zombie...file...grievance!"

I cannot BELIEVE I get paid to do what I do. Today I drove around all day, mainly because a couple of times I got so lost I couldn't even point to where downtown was (at one point I only figured it out because I saw a sign that said "Sand Point," which made me go, "I've been driving EAST?!?" I was lucky I didn't wind up in Idaho). I stopped and got out and walked around some parks, including Carkeek Park, which is less of a park and more of a nature trail, and I saw slugs, which was REALLY cool (I mean, if you've never lived anywhere that had slugs before), although a woman walking her dog passed me while I was standing on the trail bent over blowing on a slug to see what it would do, so I wonder what she thought. (Incidentally, when you blow on slugs, they suck their antennae into their heads. At least, the one I blew on did.) So while I probably won't go back to that park because 1) there weren't any homeless people and 2) if I DID run into a mentally ill homeless person in that park and s/he had ill intent, I would pretty much be screwed because it's very very isolated, I got to see slugs. So it wasn't a total loss.

So essentially, today I got paid to drive around listening to music and walk through parks. This is the best job ever.

I have WAY spoiled Lilith. Her begging has gotten so bad that now she begs for stuff before she even knows what it is. I went to take some Robitussin Friday night, and the next thing I knew Lilith was circling around my ankles and meowing. She apparently didn't believe that I wasn't taking something she wanted (although she eats tofu and ice cream, so maybe she WOULD like Robitussin).
