  About Schmidt this afternoon. Pretty good. A little vexed by the ending. I think I'm getting too lazy to interpret ambiguity. Finished up most of my application today, essay questions and all. All that remains is to inform my references of their reference status... and that could very well mean letting my company know that I'm planning to leave in 6 mos. to a year. I'm not sure how they'll react, but I'm not all that concerned, either. Good people there, certainly, but I am giving them at least six months notice. At this point, the only thing that gives me pause is Sydney. I have to make sure she has a home for a few years, and I have to be sure that whoever gets her knows what they're getting into.
Sydney's a good cat in a lot of ways... very clean, very well mannered, sweet as all get out... and that tiny meow. That said, she likes to scratch stuff, and I should probably get that in check before I expose her to furniture that isn't dorm-rated.
