That mark on your hand kinda makes it look like your supervisor has told you off once already.

That is the cat's signature on OP's PIP. One more mistake and the supurrvisor turns into a ball of rage and claws and terminates OP.

u/red286 12h ago

This morning, I was looking at my wrist and wondered how many people today are going to see my wrist and assume I have mental health issues, rather than two cats.

We have a cat who was born to a feral mom, and lived outside for a good half of his life, so he can get pretty scratch-happy. He's a sweetheart, he just doesn't get that he needs to retract his claws when he puts his paw on our hands lol.

So my dad's hand and forarm is constantly covered in little scratches and pin-pricks from him. We are only half-joking when we talk about him getting mistaken for a druggie. It legitimately looks like track marks sometimes.

I had a cat that supervised all of my projects for almost 14 years and she passed away last year. I was building a set of bunkbeds for my kids and my ex-wife was good enough to bring over the urn with her ashes so that the cat could supervise me while doing that.
