Sirius Sunday: Translating the Cat’s Meow
Written by Rose - April 4, 2010 1 Comment
Two cats are sitting on the windowsill outside the imaginary Sirius Graphix office. They peer with typical feline indifference at the activities within.
Cable: I’m hungry.
Tuft: Go eat something.
Cable: I will. (beat) What do you think they’re doing in there?
Tuft: Playing.
Cable: You think?
Tuft: Yeah. Especially the short-haired one. Humans only make that barking noise when they’re amused.
Cable: Scary. What about that one? Her mouth is moving.
Tuft: The yellow-haired one? I think she’s mewling. She hasn’t stopped doing that since she sat down. I think humans’ mouths have to move so that they can think. Her claws are going pretty fast.
Cable: Why does the really tall one have that thing on her face?
Tuft: She’s hunting. That’s how humans eat. They growl into it and other humans bring them food fresh from a hunt.
Cable: No way! That’s wicked cool. What’s that other one doing?
Tuft: The kitten human? The one jumping around the room on her toes? Come on. You know what that is.
Cable: Is she chasing a butterfly?
Tuft: No. There aren’t any butterflies in there.
Cable: Is she showing the others how to hunt crickets?
Tuft: Nope. Catnip. She’s a nipper through and through.
Cable: Wow! I didn’t know catnip worked on humans too. She looks like a fairy. (beat) Are fairies real?
Tuft: I haven’t seen any. We could go look for some, if you want.
Cable: Nah. These humans are pretty interesting. Let’s stay here for a while.
Tuft: Okay. I thought you were hungry.
Cable: Hmm. Maybe if we sit here long enough they’ll growl some food for us and send it with the nip-kitten.
Tuft: It never hurts to hope.
Pretty Interesting Humans
If you don’t know how cool the Sirius Graphix staff is, it’s your own fault. Not to toot my own horn, as the saying goes, but there is a whole world of opportunity wrapped up in the heads, hands, and talents of the Sirius team.
Friends, we can show you our world: a new fantastic point of view! There’s no one to tell you no or where to go, or say you should stop dreaming.
(Who knew Aladdin was a Sirius fan . . .)
I was struck anew by the magnitude of our talents when I read Deb’s post on Tuesday about strutting your secret stuff. Are you selling yourself short to your clients? With the economy the way it is you’ve no doubt heard people complaining about having to settle for jobs that they’re overqualified for. But if your boss knew the extent of your talents would you still have to worry about your job? Let Sirius help you put your best foot forward.
Thursday brought us another lovely post on HTML from Allison, this time about coding headers. Pristine language, an invaluable lesson . . . I think she deserves a round of applause even if you’re too afraid of technology to even read her articles. They’re genius! And so regular, like the paperboy.
Thank you, Allison, for the constant stream of technological wisdom. You are irreplaceable.
And So Are You!
Don’t ever let anyone tell you anything different. You are the only one with your abilities, talents, and skills—don’t think for a minute that it’s okay for other people not to recognize your gifts. The Sirius motto, if you don’t want to scroll up to the header and see it for yourself, is, “Because what you say matters.” How many times do we have to tell you that it’s true?
Don’t worry, friends. If you don’t get tired of hearing it, we won’t get tired of telling you. Contact us today and let us prove that your success is our number one priority.
Siriusly.
