My apartment has been discovered by a VERY ugly orange stray cat.

I have seen this thing before. I actually almost ran over it with my bicycle turning a blind corner. Gave myself a bloody heart attack.
Well this damn thing has noticed that we have a cat in our house and it is in full blown heat. The &%%$# thing is whining at the balcony window all night. It also has an irritating habit of going through our recycled cans and jars pile at 3 in the morning. I am now extremely happy that I take the time to wash them out before placing them outside.
TinTin on the other hand, is fascinated about this thing. She has no friends, other then us, and has been a real annoyance since it showed up. I am sooooooo glad I got that cat spayed or the hell that I would be living in right now would be indescribable. I am also glad she got her shots. I know they were touching noses through the screen door before I discovered his nasty existence.
The door has since been closed due to my huge fear of bugs. I am pretty positive that that cat has fleas. He is a mangy looking thing, and tatami mats are a heaven for bugs like that. TinTin is going to get a bath either tonight or tomorrow. Basically when I can hold Li down long enough to get him to help me. It is a two person job and it is still dangerous with two. Then she is getting her little flea drops put on her back.

I just got side tracked by a student that missed his class due to a meeting. We checked his homework. Gotta put together some 'I have been ....ing ' work for him. Ugh more paper work to sort out.
Yes I am at work right now. I have been using this guys time to write this. hehehe
Not feeling to stressed right now. Things are flowing along quite nicely. Give me a few more weeks and I will be again. That is when the new engineers are going to be required to consider English class and I have no room for them. NONE!

I did break the tea machine this morning. I was mortified. I am such a klutz. Thank god it was the upstairs third floor machine because it is not used as much. My regular duties every morning are to clean and fill the automatic tea machine. There are two that I am in charge of. I also have to order the tea and the paper cups that are used way toooooo much. We are working on getting people to cut down on their paper cup consumption. This company has many recycle and reuse campaigns going on. Anyway this morning I dropped this stupid plastic piece that sits over the tea leaf strainer. Snapped the plastic holder right off. Making the phone call to my boss telling him that I had broke the damn thing was a tad embarrassing. This was at almost exactly 9 this morning. My first class, and very loyal class, started at 9:15. I had to do this mad dash over to the other office with this piece and explain once again what happened and then organize to have it replaced and then do a mad dash back to my office in time for my lesson. I was bloody sweating before 9:30 in the bloody morning. The air con got turned on.
Oh Li's friend Gun tried his drivers test again yesterday. Failed once again. This time because at the signal light he checked left and right too fast. Yes at the signal light. I might add that the test is not done on the real road as we do but on a set course. Pathetic really.
hehehehe
