That's kinda sad that they changed.  The girl I talked to had been very
impressed by a managerial decree...must be recent.  I suspect that it came
down to one of those situations: there's a kitchenette at the office, but
*someone* on staff has to take home the teatowels for laundering.  When they
get sick ot this, or leave...well, suddenly the coffee cups are being dried
with zillions of paper towels.
 
It's heartening to know that they did once use towelling.  Comments will
likely have more effect.

I like your description ;-) ...our staffee was similar in all but that
one aspect.

Well, they had a *really* pretty boy with one BAAAD additude.  I was leaning
towards him, but Dodge is a suckypoo, and I thought he might get the short
end of it.  The boy was champagne; with grey guard hairs, custard undercoat
and rich custardy belly, chin, and inner legs, clear black eyes and no mask.
Pretty!!!!  GO BUY HIM IF HE'S STILL THERE ;-) He was nippy, but they all
had two sets of canines at that point and were probably itching to chew on
something.  Curtis lost his extra row of shark teeth ;-) this week...I just
hope I don't step on one in the carpet!

Am getting together a package for them.  Yes, comments will help.  Thanks
everyone.
 
Lynn & Nic, Dodge & Curtis, and the Catmonsters.
 
Dodger:  "Man, I have clean ears since that new guy moved in..."
Curtis:  "I wanna chew on that cat!"
Mad:     "Watch me make that stinky thing on the cat tree emulate a
          stairwalkin' Slinky, Sid!"
Sid:     "Cool!  I wanna try.  I WANNA TRY!  IWANNATRYWANNATRY!!!!"
