Stranger things have happened I know

Amazon.com just sent me an email saying they've processed the return for the disastrous video card incident, so I should be getting my money back within a few days. That's good, and Amazon's been very helpful throughout this entire thing.

Now if only my Kino no Tabi volume 2 would show up already. I finally resorted to pre-ordering the thing after it was delayed so many times, though that's TokyoPop's fault, not Amazon's.

Also, it looks like Jesse-cat got himself into another fight. When I picked him up earlier he made a very displeased sound like he was in pain, and when I took a look at him (while trying not to get bitten) I determined that it looks like he did something to his right rear leg, since he doesn't want me to touch it. Apparently he got into a fight earlier this morning, so that probably accounts for it. Other than the leg his mood's okay (he was begging as usual earlier) but I'll keep an eye on him before I go to work. As of right now he's migrated over from Dad's chair to sit on my while I do my PoliSci homework.

Speaking of work, I can apparently go in at 1:30 instead of 11 like I was scheduled to because we were shut down by inspectors. Um, okay. My boss told me I can come in for a few hours anyway just to get some money, but I'm wondering what prompted this.

It's likely the kerosene heater we have (which we're not technically supposed to use indoors, though the tunnel is not what one would call all the way indoors with two big doors to outside on either end) though the Evil Corporate Overlords haven't given us much choice but to use it since they're notoriously cheap pricks who won't install a decent heating system, instead buying the illegal kerosene heaters to supplement the shoddy system. *sigh* Oh well, I'll just have to make due and hope that they resolve whatever's going on before I lose too much money.

Well, so much for that

The Plant is back up and running, so I can come in anytime. I think my boss might have misspoke and told me that we had been shut down rather than what apparently happened, which is that the couldn't open since they were waiting for an inspector. But at least in the time when I was waiting for the second call I managed to finish up my English response to Oleanna, so I won't have to do it when I get home tonight after work (it was fairly easy, but still).

We also managed to get the antibiotics we were given last time Jesse-cat got into a fight (mostly) into him, so hopefully we won't need to do anything else for him on this. Jesse's a bit miffed at us for restraining him to get the medicine into him, but he'll get over it. Luckily cats don't seem to have the best attention spans when it comes to holding grudges against humans.
