Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 14, 2012
Transcript:
Phone: Fax me when you have a rough draft, Cathy! Cathy: You're on vacation, Fred. I'm supposed to be covering for you. Phone: I know. I'm just checking in. Cathy: If I'm covering for you, you don't get an opinion. Phone: Why not? I'm here! Available 24/7 to critique how you're doing all my work! Cathy: Forget getting away from it all. I just want to get away from the people who are out of town.

Life is pretty tough for Cathy when she has to provide the eye rolls. I like it though, especially combined with her sentiment. “Hey Fred. Stuff it!”
Hello fellow Cathyites. Special day tomorrow so we’re running errands and then spending some quality time down by the swimming hole.

so, to make a bold statement type an * for the quote? Lets see if it works.

Friends of Billy: sshhhh, lean in close. I don’t want him to hear. Tomorrow (a couple of you might already remember) is my Billy’s birthday. The training wheels on his bike are coming off. We’re just waiting for his voice finally move beyond that awkward cracking stage.

Friends of Aaron: he’s so dead.
mom! Tell Aaron to stop picking on me.Gretchen's Mom almost 12 years ago
Once again, Cathy comes off as the only sane-sounding person working there. Will I ever be able to escape living in “The Twilight Zone”?!?!?!?! ;-)
Aaron: How’s your hip doing today? I hope you didn’t re-injure it too much or it will set back your schedule for healing and returning to work at the end of summer like you’ve planned and NONE of us want that to happen . . . so, PRETTY PLEASE with a nice, plump, juicy maraschino cherry on top . . . be more careful!!! Okay?!?!?! That’s a direct order from your “virtual MOM”!!!!! Love you!!!!! ;-)
lindz.coop: Glad to hear your husband’s okay but I hope he still went to a doctor to have things checked out just to make absolutely sure that he didn’t get a concussion from such a rough landing. Men won’t do these things on their own so it’s up to us wives to nag them endlessly until they finally do it just to shut us up!!!!! ;-)
Good afternoon, Hobbes (if you should happen to drop by), lightenup, lightenupjr., K.F.G., Susan, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, Willi Nilli, mollie05, AnonaMona, soonergal, simpsonfan2, GreggW and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. As always, great to “see” you all!! Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend so far!!!!!

Too bad Cathy can’t ignore the phone at work, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Billy, have a wonderful day. Good afternoon KFG, you make me laugh at your morning postings, Maybe a little tipsy. Everyone have a good weekend and hope for some rain to relieve this draught in the mid-west.

DR. BILLY: Even though I can’t be here tomorrow for your birthday . . . I’ll still be thinking about you and hoping that you’re having a really GREAT one!!! Love you!!!!! ♥♥♥

Rain? Did somebody say they’d like some rain? Please feel free to come over here and help yourself! I think at the moment we could spare you a lakeful.
As for Billy – over here, when it’s your birthday you traditionally “get your dumps”. But we’d have to know how many you’d earned. So have a Happy (dumpless) Birthday!
P.S. Dump = thump on the back, not what some people were imagining.

Nice knowin’ ya, Fred … or, at least, the work Cathy’s doing on your behalf.
@AaronYour post made me smile.
Hope you’re all having a nice weekend.

Hi other Cathyites!! With a little luck, the out of towners will just stay there. I remember back in the bad old days of working for state social services, my caseload would double everytime somebody took a vacation. At one point it was around 130 people to be seen quarterly (homecalls). That’s when I quit and went back to school.
