Off for a few days - new computer
Nick bought a new computer and it's taking time to set it up - I'm not allowed near it.
Nick has a new toy.
I’m not allowed to write my column on it, nor am I allowed to play games on it. In addition, no snacks or saucers of milk are allowed near it.
And if I’m feeling playful, I’m not to be in the same room as that shiny new Mac.
I’m a cat. Cats are curious - especially when it comes to something new that enters our domain.
That’s the reason for the temporary ban. And it will be temporary, that I promise. He has the attention span of a gnat.
Trust me - it will be temporary. He has no idea what fun I have when he isn’t home.
Apparently I leave nose smudges on the screen and bits of kibble and marijuana ashes on the keyboard.
So he gave me the old one.
It’s not the same as a new one. It’s on its last legs and evidently if I want a decent computer I can ’damn well buy one of my own’ or ‘wait my fucking turn’. Under supervision of course. Freaking house is full of nanny/cat cameras so chances of using it on the sly are minimal to nil.
For now I’m stuck writing my columns on this old Dell - one of the first ever made, we have to wind it up before use.
I expect delays while Nick works on his satirical novel on the Trump years - on a brand new MacBook Pro.
I told him that his novel sounds rather derivative - he told me to mind my own fucking business.
The life of a cat is sad.
