dragonlady7I rarely am home when Dude is. He works remotely for a company, but they have an office and he goes in. He just... starts at 7:30, and then they have a morning meeting via video/audio conferencing around 9:15, and then he takes a shower and gets dressed and drives in, arriving at his office sometime after 10, normally.
Our cat waits for him to start the teleconference, and then runs into the room where he is to make a lot of noise while he's talking. At first I was like, "what an asshole"-- she literally hears the logging-on sound and starts hollering-- and then it was someone else's turn to talk and I heard their cat hollering in the background too.
Now there have been like, four different dudes talking, and almost all of them have had cats hollering in the background.
It's a universal cat impulse to need to be included on conference calls. Our cat is not uniquely an asshole.
In health news, I've progressed to actually being hungry, which is great, so I'm going to go eat breakfast and maybe be done being so goddamn queasy.
Side note: am I finally old enough that I'm allowed to have stomach ailments without people immediately concluding it's morning sickness? That's definitely tapered off as I've progressed into my thirties. I might be officially Past That, if not physically?
Wow this dude's cat is making horrifying noises in the background! Our cat is by comparison very sweet-voiced and understated. My dear darling sweet girl.
