Oct. 25th, 2006 03:52 pmMy cat is totally fired. The other night, I was engaging in some heavy duty loafing and messaging with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vampgyrl, when I noticed a bug. Nikita was drinking water from her new fountain right next to it and she didn't even do anything. I pointed towards it just in case she hadn't noticed it, but she gave me a bored look and sauntered off to sit on her cat perch. Doesn't she know that she is supposed to kill and eat all bugs for me? That is her job. Do I have to go out and get a gecko now? She'd probably eat that, though.
I conducted a commuting experiment this morning. Instead of taking Aurora, like I normally do, I took the Express Lanes, since the entrance is so close to my new pad. It was successful, in that I arrived at my intended destination, but I don't know that it'll become my route of choice. I hear too many traffic reports about the Express Lanes being backed up, and once you're on them, it's difficult to get off. I'll stick with Aurora for now.
My company is going to start a pre-tax bus pass program. The cost of the bus pass would be deducted from my paycheck before taxes are computed, thus saving me a bit of money. I don't know if I'm going to enroll, though, since Metro's trip planner says that I have to catch a bus at around 7:30 in order to get to work at my usual time. I'm not usually dressed by 7:30, much less out the door. This needs more deliberation.
