The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good: After "forgetting" about our lawyer bill from last December for a few months, we got a follow up letter offering to consider it paid in full - at a discount of 30%. Hmmm. If I knew that not paying your bills for 5 months would result in a 30% reduction in what you owe I'd be paying late all the time. Then again, perhaps that's not the best strategy. In my defense, I wasn't sure the letter we got back in December was actually a bill. It didn't have a remit-to or due date. So, hey, why pay it if it's not due yet, right? Then it got buried on the computer desk. Yeah. But we'll pay it now. Honest. (Evil voice in head: but what if you wait another couple of months and they knock even more off? Muahahahaha!)

The Bad: It was inventory day. That's never a good thing. And I was totally crabby all afternoon, threatening my computer with death and my file folders with being thrown across my cube. It was not a pretty sight.

Which brings me to The Ugly: Carly peed all over one of the cat mats tonight. Of course I didn't realize this until I had picked her up, thereby drenching myself in cat pee. She had also managed to waltz all around the cat room with her wet paws. Fabulous. I put some pet odor carpet stuff down and vacuumed it up so hopefully the pee smell won't linger. Then it was bath time for Carly, which she LOVED. Not. Adam and I both got wet and scratched and now she's sulking up on top of the fridge. Well, see Carly? If you didn't refuse to pee in your damn litterbox you wouldn't get dunked in the sink. Duh.
