Cheering up my Staff Person

Well, Mom, oh...er...my main staff person, has started staying home again. She isn't working anymore. She sort of goes back and forth between being kinda angry and then really sad. She says things like "What do I do if I lose the house?" Which I think is pretty funny - we're here in the house...how do you lose it? Anyway, she's home most of the day typing on this silly keyboard (she's off in the kitchen getting something called 'breakfast' right now), and only going out on occasion. I guess she could get lost on the way back or something and that might be considered 'losing' the house, but...I dunno. She got all dressed up yesterday morning and left for a few hours but came home and told the guy in the front room "It was a very perfunctory interview, he only asked 4 questions and kept an eye on the clock the whole time." Don't have a clue what any of that means, especially perfunctory. ??

Anyway, I know she's really blue, so I've been spending more time with her. I jumped up on the bed the other night and slept next to her until about 4 o'clock in the morning. I hadn't done that in a long time, but it seemed to make her feel a little better. I tried it again a couple of nights later, but then the guy in the front room went into the kitchen and started banging pots and stuff around and my curiosity got the better of me and I had to go check it out. And then I kinda forgot to go back. She's such a good mom, uh, staff person I thought she should get a job doing that, but then I realized it would mean I'd have to share her with some other...(shudder)...animal...and I don't think so much of the idea now. I've got my little paws crossed that she finds another job soon.
