In other news concerning the merger that is going on, the new boss does not like cats and will probably make us get rid of the two we have at the office. He says that some of our clients might be allergic to them and that it would be unfair to make them suffer.

Chances are that by the first of the year that Thurgood and Ms. Bumble will be out the door. A couple of staff members will probably take them, but I will miss having them around as stress relievers. A woman I used to date worked in a kindergarten where they had rabbits freely roaming the halls. The rabbits were litter box trained and once the kids got used to them they weren't a distraction.

I am prepared to argue that because people can be allergic to soap, none of the staff should bathe. I have found a few articles that indicate that people can be allergic to soap. If we have to be sensitive to people who are allergic to cats, then why shouldn't be we senstive to people who are allergic to soap? After all, what is the inconvenience of a little body odor compared to the health of our clients? And it's not like most of them bathe anyway.
