Omaha Cat Attacked With Fireworks
June 27th, 2008
OMAHA, Neb. - The Nebraska Humane Society is offering a $1,000 reward for information about the person who attacked a cat with fireworks.
Chrystal Castillo said her husband found her cat, Tom, on the family porch Wednesday morning with burns on his face.
"I took a look at him and his mouth was all burnt and looked like someone had shoved a firework in his mouth because it blew out his tooth," Castillo said.
She said Tom's claws had also been worn down.
"His nails are all grinded down from where he was trying to dig out of something. Like somebody had put him in something," she said.
Castillo took Tom to a veterinarian, who confirmed her suspicions that fireworks were involved.
The cat also had burns to his tail and bottom.
"I was horrified," she said. "I can't imagine someone doing something like that to an animal. It's beyond cruelty to me."
Castillo said Tom is getting tender loving care from his family and is already trying to get up and walk around. "He'll get through it," she said.
The Humane Society asks anyone with information about the case to call 402-444-7800.Current Mood:  annoyed |

Finished my interview with Panera Bread. I schmoozed it up big time in the interview, and sailed through the driving test.
I'd be pulling a 48' trailer full of bread dough. Delivering dough to the local stores. Thats all I would be hauling every morning. dough.
4:30am to about noon.. just matters how fast I can deliver the dough. Same pay no matter how long it takes. Once the dough is delivered, I'd be done for the day.
More money and less hours than the current job.
OMG paid vacation. OMG paid sick time. OMG Quarterly Bonuses. OMG end of year bonuses. OMG stock purchase program. OMG 401K. OMG Dough.
They have 12 more interviews to do, then I should know by next Thursday.
will still continue applying to other opportunities in the meantime.Current Mood:  content |

I logged onto the bank website today where it tells you of your applicant status. Next to the job I applied for it said "Sorry, not selected" so onwards and upwards. This was the first job that I have interviewed for and not gotten... it's a shitty experience. The job was a bit above my head anyways, but if ya dont try, then you cant succeed.
I did see that my old job at the zoo has opened up. I figured what the hell and applied for it.
I am going full force on looking for a new job. Because of a blown tire yesterday, I worked a 15 hour day. To make things more fun, I was told to stay home... no load for me today.
Am starting to feel a bit stressed and bogged down with the feeling of necessary change.

| » Job Interview Over! |
|---|
at 9am I interviewed for the position of ACH transaction processor with First National Bank of Omaha. The interview itself lasted just over an hour and a half. I am cautiously optomistic that I have the job so we shall see in the next few days. If I get the job, I will be working less hours than I do now for substantially more pay and way better benefits. The job is in the tallest building in Omaha on the 29th floor... a hell of a neet view.
The interviewer has had barbie doll convention experience so we had plenty to talk about... their cons are completely similar to 'furry' cons.
Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully I will have great news to share.

All ready for interviews... first one is on Monday at First National Bank. one of them mon-fri, banking hours kind of gigs.
Hope its the last one for a while.
Edit: not jobless... the trucking industry is slowing due to the gas prices so it has me working only 3-4 days a week now, so its time to look around for something more stable.

Thursday: I met Nbowa at the airport in Nashville around 11:00am, picked up our Pontiac G6 with free GPS included and drove down to the con hotel in Huntsville, AL. The con staff were welcoming and very easy to talk to. Most everyone I met took the time to listen to any question I had and did what they could to solve the problem. We were instantly put to work hauling food and soda items from Brody's house to the hotel. We had to have had at least 400 12-paks of soda and water moved from one side of the city to the other. Atfer the moving, we had a nice dinner and helped out wherever we could.
The con itself reminded me of the way Midwest Furfest used to be in 2000-2002. There weren't a whole lot of panels which meant more time for getting to know the con attendees... actually getting time to sit and attempt to be sociable. The halls and sitting areas were not crowded and it was merely a short walk from our hotel room to any of the convention events. A major plus for me is that the convention security was extremely polite and not forcefull with requests. I have experienced over-assertive convention security and these folks at this con were absolutely respectful and treated folks like guests and not like a bother.
Friday I had limited responsibilites and was able to get in a lot of costuming. I figure that through this weekend, I was in costume more than I have been in costume at conventions over the past couple years. The fact that the halls were not crowded made it much more enjoyable.
Saturday was two big events I was in charge of running.. The FVS (furry variety show) went off without a problem. Due to last minute programing cancelations, we were lucky to have a full three hours of set up time. The sound and lights took 2 hours to set up and test, and during the last hour 3 acts rehearsed, and last minute problems were taken care of. Once the show started with Samii as MC, it was smooth sailing from there. We started 20 minutes late; 12 acts later it ended right on time. Heros the A/V guy was simply amazing.
For the charity auction, we collected 40 items folks donated. Through the weekend, I cataloged them and kept a spreadsheet to keep everything in order. I served as auctioneer for the event with Nbowa, Falamon and Dark Tiger helping out. (thanks, guys!!!!) In the end, during the auction we took in $971 dollars for PCDS... they save puppies and kitties. At closing ceremonies I auctioned off a tablecloth with just about every artist at the con contributing their skill in the form of drawings on it. With the addition of items thrown in as intisement, the group sold for $900. All in all, the charity took in just over $3500 from other events like a raffle individual donations and poker tournament.
I can't say enough how wonderful the RCFM staff was. This was my first time here and was made to feel welcome. next year, this con is on my list of things to do... at the very top of it. I'd type a whole lot more praise and adoration for the con, but I am quite tired, so I am going to sleep.

Just got a letter from the apartments that we have until May 15th to get rid of our propane grill.
Because our little town of Elkhorn was annexed by big ol' Omaha, we now have to adhere to Omaha's Fire Code of there being no open flame devices on balconies within 10 feet of a combustible building. They threaten with lease violation letters if we dont comply. (oooo letters) Our balcony is 4' wide, so unless we install a steel I-beam and extend our deck by 6 feet, we'll have to trash the grill. They say that we can store it in a garage, but why should we spend $50 a month just to have a grill? never mind having to walk all the way down the stairs just to cook up some chicken. PLUS they say we are allowed to have an electric grill.... WHO the HELL would want to grill out on an ELECTRIC GRILL? Why not just cook it on the George Forman? Cripes.
Apartments on the first floor have sprinklers above the patio doors so they are allowed to have open flame grills, but I'll be damned if I am going to move all my crap just to have tasty chicken, brats and steaks. Those apartments have lower ceilings which make me feel uber tall.
I have no problem following rules, but man... I love grilling out.
Its time to get a house.
EDIT:::::::::::::::::
Section 308.3.1 Liquefied-petroleum-gas-fueled cooking devices.
"LP-gas burners having an LP-gas container with a water capacity greater than 2.5 pounds (nominal 1 pound ((0.454kg)) LP-gas capacity) shall not be located on combustible balconies or within 10 feet (3048 mm) of combustible construction."
thats exactly how its worded... greater than 2.5 pounds (nominal 1 pound) what the heck does that mean??
so does that mean if I put a 1 pound gas canister on the grill it'll be OK? ;)
