9 – The days I am running late for work are the days the cat will plop down in front of the door or the staircase as if to say “You’re not going anywhere, Mister”.

4 – I always travel with an umbrella. But the one or two days of the year that I forget, it will rain.
3 – No matter how many days, weeks or months of research I do, management will find a way of asking the one question I forgot.
2 – The precise moment I commit to buying a case of wet cat food to save a little money, is the same moment my cat decides that it is no longer her favourite.
