2025/05/30: Catured

April was flying by fast

and suddenly interrupted by

a baby kitten walking in

with a badly infected eye

*

and there you go  

taking care of a kitten recovering from surgery

making sure my fat cat didn’t feel abandoned

*

the surgery left him with one eye

but could tell he was doing much better than

having a horrible looking eye that could burst anytime

*

it is funny to see

how the cats have totally different characters

and they almost don’t interact at all

except being thrown a few punches

after some sniffing

*

i was mad at my cat at first

since the kitten was clearly suffering from his injury

but cat being cat

she showed no empathy okay

*

but as the kitten was recovering

these punches don’t post threat to him anymore

in fact he will quickly jump away

when he was being sniffed

*

the funny thing is

my big cat never seems to mind

whenever the kitten is eating from her bowl

like after he finishes his share of food

that’s when she will just look on

and i have to step in by taking the kitten away

just to make sure she has at least eaten something

*

the kitten’s parents drop by separately

from time to time to look at the kitten from far

they seem super guilty and acknowledge

their act of child abandonment

like whenever I tell the kitten his papa or mama is here

and show him where the parent is

the parent will just run or go into hiding

*  

wait i was supposed to write about my work in April

but ended up writing a post dedicated to my cats

but cats are the reason i stay in my job, right?

especially with two of them to feed now

2025/05/24: 沿戶

下午在忙其他事

門鈴響了 在客廳的小朋友說

裝著制服 好像是傳教的

*

是洋人嗎?不是

那是穿綠褲?是

那大概是賣校慶固本的學生

*

雖然每次都教小朋友

如果陌生人叫門

當作沒人在就好了

但居然連校服都認不出

還什麽傳教的?

*

出去看

他們兩組各三人

還在同一條街上叫門

就把他們叫回來

*

買了一本 100

叫小朋友到時約朋友去走走看看

去年一起去的時候

他居然處處有認識的人

*

他們離開後

聽到街上有歡呼的聲音

好像説 至少達到目標了

*

現在沿戶籌款確實很難

謝謝同學們還愿意在大熱天

以這樣的方式幫自己的學校籌款

*

雖然之前也是有出現過熱議

學校是否應該讓學生這樣出來籌款

反正我是遇見就會多少支持的那派

2025/05/19: 換位

某天去常去的店吃飯

午餐時間 但不太多人

可能就三桌顧客

所以特別安靜

*

負責外場的姐姐

也在吃午餐

老闆從厨房走出來

說剛才的外送單有出錯

*

大概就是顧客要救

不要食材 ABC

要另外加 DEF

*

姐姐輸入在點餐系統后

送到厨房的單

居然沒有打印到

要另外加 DEF

*

老闆沒有要責備姐姐的意思

就是要找出並解決問題

*

老闆居然説:

我們要換位思考

可能是小朋友生病要吃的

所以我們一定要照樣做給顧客

*

結果那張單

全額退款給顧客

*

被老闆的“換位思考”打動到

必須常常支持這家店

2025/05/16: March

March usually marks 

the end of trial period

for a brand new year

and before you know it

the first quarter is ending soon

*

things began to pick up a little

going easier on me

like look

as i had hit the lowest low

for the past few months

things couldn’t get worse than that

*

from the worst case scenario imagined

during the beginning of the year of

simply not making ends meet

overflown by festive spending

that’s quite a relief

*

it seems like

i might be able to keep the job

a little longer after all

*

have been telling a few close friends

I am going to lose my job to AI real soon

*

looking forward

hoping things will get less turbulent

*

that kind of struggle

simply felt unreal

work it out or move it out

since I am not ready to get out

just have to work it out

2025/05/09: 樹下

忙了一圈

半個月已過去

延續上篇講小貓

隔了一個禮拜後

的星期六晚上

*

屋後的草地

突然來了一隻小貓

以為是奶牛貓回來了

但不太可能 鄰居是駕車載走的

*

走到門邊叫它

居然走過來

不是同一隻小貓

但再走近一點

我嚇壞了

*

它的一隻眼睛

很大很大顆

好像快爆掉了

又好像眼球掉出來

*

好心疼

只是個寶寶

回到屋裡一直想著

有點不忍心

想去領進來才打算

*

怎麼知道 呃 不見了

再看看我家裡範圍的胖貓

慢慢走來

後面跟著那隻小貓

*

都進來了

真的捨不得丟出去

放進貓箱再打算

*

隔兩天

帶去獸醫

已做了最壞打算

把感染的眼睛切除

*

獸醫太太說

這種感染很正常

他們經常處理

*

就這樣顧了這隻小貓

兩個禮拜 活潑亂跳

胃口很好

*

反而是我的貓

胃口很差 還一直躲我

*

可能是頭兩天

她巴了小貓幾次

是我疏忽 沒有在把小貓放出來之前

做好隔離措施吧

*

上次很兇的奶牛貓

她很怕 這次受傷的小貓

她卻乘人之危

就把她關「監獄」當懲罰

她吃不消吧

*

兩個性格截然不同的貓

也太好玩了

尤其是工作很忙的時候

*

小貓的爸媽居然有回來偷看他

媽媽還順便把胖貓的晚餐吃掉

爸爸和小貓是一模一樣的花色

白底混虎斑

*

謝謝上天在我生日前夕

給我留下這份禮物

*

如果有天必須原放

希望那天不會這麼快到來
