Blogger has a new interface. Apparently they snuck it in during the last couple of weeks when I was too busy to look. It's interesting, and hopefully I'll be able to recall exactly what I did last time to get a post to publish. :)

I now have a kitty litter pan under my desk. That darn cat (named "Maggie" for it is she who is the pee-perp that has been using my desk as her personal pan) had better recognize and use the pan or she will find herself staying at Chez PAWS because I have had about enough of this.

Last week very exciting things happened which are still happening :) I have another week of exciting things to look forward to. For example, tomorrow morning Det. Tompkins with the King County Sheriff's Department is coming to my class from the violent homicide unit to discuss handling physical evidence. He brings with him a PowerPoint presentation. I don't know about you, but I look forward to starting my week with slides showing how to keep criminal evidence from becoming contaminated :P

I spent a good part of the day looking for an apartment via the internet. Have you ever seen Apartment Ratings? You have to take some of these reviews with a grain of salt. They are supposedly written by tenants or former tenants, but some of them sure look like they were written by the rental agent staff! Especially when an apartment had 3 extremely negative ratings followed by three really good ones to boost its percentage back to 50 percent!

For example, once upon a time, I lived here. It was an okay place to live. We had a bottom floor unit that stayed very cool in the summer because it didn't get any direct sunlight, and the way the apartments were built, the ground floor units had dirt pretty much up to the bottom of the windows; that's why they stayed so cool. One day there was a really, really huge rainstorm. The entire place flooded. :) But, as the reviews show, the office staff were really nice...and what could they have done anyway? But still, you have to wonder when you read some of the reviews that tell you the office staff totally sucked and the next review says how totally cool they are...did the office staff write that second review? The world may never know.
