Redesign
So I got tired of the old design and did this over the last 2 days. I’m not sure I like it so be prepared for further changes.
Update:I saw the site in IE6 and was appalled. Here’s what it’s supposed to look like.

A Reason to get Caller ID
Yahoo! News - New Rules: Telemarketers Must Display IDs
Such calls had shown up on Caller ID as “out of area.” Now the name displayed by Caller ID must either be the company trying to make a sale or the firm making the call. The display must also include a phone number that consumers can call during regular business hours and ask that the company no longer call them.

Because everyone I know has cats
I hate migraines.
Kitty update - Glimpse of a Grrl
In a nutshell, dry food is bad for cats. It has too many carbs and not enough protein. Canned food like Fancy Feast is better.

I haven’t died
I’ve just been really busy. I do have a new template for you though, it’s Nice and Clean. It’s my first fixed layout and I’m pretty pleased with the result. There are definite advantages to that style. I’m not ready to give up liquid though. The inspiration sites are linked in the top navigation bar.

You can almost hear the purr
I’ve figured out why so many people post cat pictures.
Dogs just don’t do things like that.

Things that make you go hmmm
I actually learned something in a staff meeting, wow! Lois, cool Electronic Services Librarian, is writing a job description for a staff position as webmaster.
Lois likes me and believes I know what I’m doing.
I could get out of Priscilla’s range of authority and away from the reference desk. My stress level would drop considerably. And I would have the word “Webmaster” officially on my resume.
W00t!!

Another quiz
You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame, they burn with light and power and rebirth. Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an amazingly strong person. You survive, even flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm believer in the phrase, ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger,’ you rarely fear failure. You know that any mistake you make will teach you more about yourself and allow you to ‘rise from the ashes’ as a still greater being. Because of this, you rarely make the same mistake twice, and are not among the most forgiving people. You’re extremely powerful and wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion, and anger. Perhaps you’re this way because you were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality and know that life is tough and the world is cruel, and it takes strength and independence to survive it. And independence is your strongest point - you may care for others, and even depend on them…but when it comes right down to it, the only one you need is yourself. Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your wings to guide you. You are eternal and because you have a strong sense of who and what you are, no one can control your heart or mind, or even really influence your thinking. A symbol of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very spiritual person with a serious mind - never acting immature and harboring a superior disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity’s stupidity and tendency to want others to solve their problems for them frustrates you endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.Claim Your Wings
