Several of us at work have been lobbying for a company feline.
A cat who wanders around and provides fuzz therapy to stressed out engineers. How could that go wrong? Relaxed laser engineers are engineers who do not read Braille.
I had thought a name that played on our company name would be good, as a mascot. After reconsideration, I believe I have a better name.
What better choice? It works on many levels. A hidden joke, a statement about the work environment, and a dig at cats, who generally are not known for being work beasts. Generally.
When the boss asks about the origin of the name I would just say “it is a Super Mario Kart character name.”

I hink I stole this from AG over at H&B.

Spent the last week earning my arrogance – it requires yearly upkeep to keep your certs current. In a few more days… Vacation. A much needed vacation. Badly so.
Knowing y’all, I would feel sorry for the therapy feline. Gawd only knows just how many laser pointers there are in your department.
Hope y’all enjoy your vacay! We don’t have one this year due to bad timing issues. Oh, and the friends y’all sent me will be staked on my lawn as soon as weather allows 😀
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I *HEART* THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a feeling you might like those. Cruel Wife found them in Hell and it seemed a match.
We don’t have laser pointers. We have huge pulsed UV lasers with insanely high peak power ratings. Worst that could happen is skin cancer or a kitty with bitchin’ cataracts.
Actually I do have a number of smaller HeNe lasers lying around…
