Becky, Lever and Family

thinking of you at this time.

Animals

animals are nice. i feel quite calm usually in the company of animals. this evening Bulbgirl and i jumped off the bus one stop early, and went to see some horses in a field near home. we fed them some grass mostly to the very large stallion who called the shots in the field. as twilight fell, we spent a little while with them before moseying on back to the flat. i didn't show them grass lit by flashlight as Bulbgirl was a little nervous about them stampeding.

here is a picture of Bulbcat #1. she is called Pushkin. it's about time i put up her pic after showing you Bulbcat #2 (Raku). she was a stray and came to me one night and decided to stay. small or big animals have individual personalities just like humans, so it was with dismay i found this PETA video introduced by Trent Reznor, which made me sad to be human.

it was put on youtube over a year ago, and i wonder how many animals have suffered since then.

Bulb Changing

i handed in my notice and resigned today. the HR lady asked if it was something nice as i handed over the envelope. "that depends on your opinion" was my response, and left her to read the message. every bulb has a lifespan and mine has been just over 5 and a half years in the same job (albeit part-time). my last working day will be on 1st june so it's time to look for something new.

why am i leaving my job? mainly health reasons is what was written in the letter. here's my full (nearly) full rundown of reasons for changing jobs:

• i am worth more
• health (my body hurts)
• poor environmental policy
• did i mention i'm worth more?

i need a change, and leaving the security of a job may be a little scary, it's one of my goals for this year: to scare myself. don't worry, i'll still be Bulbboy, whatever i do. what will i do? i plan to paint pictures. will that make money? we'll see.
