Just for you...
What’s more they’re tasty.
The Japanese do some weird things.
Would suck if you are allergic to cats.
Our cat loves to lay across my wrists when I’m using my computer. Does make it challenging.
Sounds like quite the “Cat house”... Da DUM TISH!
Nope. Next thing you know, they form a union and start demanding furry mouse toys and catnip breaks.
“We’ve had to stop giving presentations at the office.”
“Why’s that?”
“Bob was giving a presentation and he was using a laser pointer to highlight a point, and nine cats hit the whiteboard and scared off the customer.”
Productivity enhancers are an interesting thing. There was a guy did a study in (I think) the 1930s. He started by telling the team he was increasing their lighting to help with productivity. He upped the number of bulbs and lights and sure enough productivity went up.
Then he said it looks like we hit some plateau so I’m going to reduce the lighting till we get it right for you. He reduced it beyond where it was originally and guess what - productivity went up.
His conclusion was it was more about paying attention to the employees and letting them know you are trying to do something for them to help them do better then it was about the actual conditions in which they were working.
I wrote an entire book with my cat, Herb, sitting behind me on a table with a view of the computer watching everything on the screen. In the middle of the book, I rearranged the furniture and the cat went into a deep depression.
A neighbor who claimed to be a “cat psychic” came over and talked to Herb. Herb told her that the problem was he couldn’t see the screen any more and felt like he’d lost his job. Unemployment sux, even for cats.
So I moved the furniture back where it was, Herb rallied, went back to his table and helped me finish the book.
True story.
