[ANSTHRLD] Is this normal? Is there a tracer system?

No, no, no.  Her full name isn't "HATTIE! NO!", it's "HATTIE! DAMMIT!" - 
because that's usually what you're saying as you talk to her.

Hattie is a gray FAP (Feline American Princess) who believes (forget that - 
she knows for certain) that she's the most important thing in the whole 
world.  Just ask her.  She also believes that her Correct Spot In Life is 
between me and the keyboard - which makes typing tough sometimes.

What Daniel's referring to is one of her habits - which is to grab a piece of 
paper in her teeth and hold on.  She doesn't tear the paper or eat the paper, 
or even drool on the paper, she just punches it with her teeth and you have 
to disengage her to get it back.

During the Pelican decision meetings, we keep her occupied with disposable 
printouts of collated commentary.  There's only once that she actually got 
ahold of a submission form.  (In nearly 3 years, that's not bad!)  So, 
somewhere in the Laurel file cabinents is a name form with four tiny holes 
punched in the lower left-hand corner.  We called it the "Hattie seal of 
approval".  As I recall, the name in question got our seal of approval, too - 
it was a good name and passed.
