Jerome, I’m sure that many of us have feline “assistants.” I have more than one photo of a cat proofreading a project manual by walking on it or napping (& shedding) on top of blueprints.
I also had canine assistants. Taking the dog for a walk was a particularly good way to burn off steam from some silly client phone call. (and the dogs were very attentive when product reps came to my house – another possible source of dog biscuits, I guess).
Helaine - well my cat (one of three in the family) does not proof read specs - rather she is astute at getting in my office late at night and rearranging my well organized piles of paper - at which time I curse, for various lengths of time, and promise to keep her away forever - but it is true in the wee hours of the morning, its nice to have her around…and she is amazingly resilient, she continues to come back, seems to be even friendly than before my outburst and yes she is probably responsible for reducing the blood pressure rise that she was instrumental in raising in the first place…am I babbling - could be this is going to be a long week of 18 hour days - too many deadlines.
When my dog and senior cat were still living, we had a system. I cover all flat surfaces with books, papers and magazines. The cats rearrange the books, papers and magazines and knock some onto the floor, whereupon the dog chews them up.
Boys
Independent = Boxers
In-house = Briefs
Girls
Independent = sensible comfortable cotton
In-house = thongs
okay Marc, that was a leap, even for you. any more explanation?
Re: Marc’s explanation
How does he know all that?
Word of mouth?
Third-party hearsay testimony?
In-depth investigation?
Something new in Sweets?
Sounds like someone has waaaaay too much time on their hands or has finally gone over the edge!!
Or maybe over the “wedge”
OK you asked for it. I’m supposed to be working but…
Boys:
Boxers:As an independent you like to believe (even though it may not be true) that you are “free of constraints” your favorite song is “Don’t fence me in”
Briefs: As the man in the gray flannel suit you are under control and so are your shorts.
Girls:
Cotton: as an independent you don’t have to dress up. heels and stockings stay in the closet/drawer and the important thing about life is comfort… therefore cotton.
Thongs: Again the corporate animal is always under control AND moving up the corporate ladder requires no VPL! QED
Uh, I have mostly been in-house yet have worn “sensible comfortable cotton” clothing and black leather tennis shoes nearly every day for 25+ years.
I think life is too short for white cotton underwear – for either gender. this may be the only “design” decision I get to make all day…
I was hoping someone would get around to underwear. Now I feel ‘complete’.
