By the time you read this, I’ll be well on my way to North Carolina.
I’m engaged in phase II of OPERATION CATNIP.
We moved Molly (aka my husband’s other wife) in Phase I; Lucy and Jake are the main benefactors of Phase II; and Scrubby and Emma are the third wave of this crazy operation.
My life is nothing but HR, cat carriers, and strong doses of Acepromazine — except for Lucy who is geriatric and will be getting the lowest dose possible so her heart doesn’t stop or anything.
Sheesh, I have no idea how real people with real jobs relocate across the country. They must have unemployed spouses. (Oh wait, I am the unemployed spouse!)

Speaking of transitions, Jenn Barnes/HR Wench landed a job with her former supervisor — an awesome woman whom Jenn loves. I realized, earlier today, that Jenn’s employment makes me the preeminent unemployed HR blogger on the scene.
Wow. I’m totes proud of my non-accomplishment.

I know Mz Barnes will be ready for a vacation after three weeks of grueling employment. We are scheduled to attend the The Talent Management Summit in Las Vegas at the end of October — and we will be blogging from the conference on behalf our social network, HRM Today.
The coordinator for The Talent Management Summit, Nisha, asked me to publish this offer to my readers:
- I’m happy to extend a $400 off the main conference (total of $1999) or an All Access Pass for $2,599. They should mention code TMPRHR04. Thanks!
Jenn and I are anxious to meet as many HR pros & HR bloggers as possible, so let me know if you are attending the event. We will post pictures and vlogs on HRM Today, and I will tweet/twit? my impressions of the conference — just like I did for my award-winning coverage of the SHRM convention.

These are busy times, punk rockers. I’m almost too busy to earn a real salary in an honest & respectable field like Corporate Human Resources.

Moving kitty cats is definitely not an easy thing to do. Even if it’s just to the vet. I remember that with my two kitties, even sedation didn’t keep them from yowling the whole way from L.A. to the bay area. Cats are definitely the ultimate traditionalists – they HATE change, ANY KIND of change.
Bon chance, Laurie. Stay safe. May your cats travel well and adapt quickly!
No, I will not be attending. Unless you want to pay for me. I could totally make it if someone wants to foot my bill.
Congrats on the move. I think decorating a new home should be exciting.
YEah, me too. Can you kick in some of your big non-bucks from your big non-paycheck to get me to Vegas? It would be an awesome charitable event…well, non-charity, but you know…
I feel your $pain$ and I’m attending thanks to FF miles earned with my Pformer employer.
