It's The Daily Cougar Finals Edition! Back in the day, we didn't have a Finals Edition - unless I remember wrong - and we would have never filled an issue with only puzzles and comics, even if some say that's the only reason it's read. I guess times change.

Five CLASS staff members win UH Staff Excellence Awards

Recently, I wrote an article that was published on the college website and its online newsletter about awards won by five staff members in various departments around the college.

The story I wrote about CLASS staff members winning UH Staff Excellence awards.

Here is an excerpt:

On Wednesday, May 5, the Human Resources Department at the University of Houston surprised the eight recipients of this year’s Staff Excellence Awards and the one recipient of the Charles F. McElhinney Distinguished Service Award, which is the highest award given for exemplary staff contribution to the university.

“I was caught off guard,” Staff Excellence Award winner Pat Sayles said. “The staff in the Dean’s Office knew, but somehow kept it quiet. I didn’t even know I had been nominated.”

Baby fishy, baby kitteh

It’s Cinco De Mayo, and Kim made tacos. She had a good day today – she received a job offer and she found an orange female kitten up for adoption at the local vet. She quickly accepted the job offer, and I’m going to take full credit for the accomplishment based on the website I built for her a few months ago: kimberlymoeller.com

Speaking of orange babies, over the weekend – when I finally got around to cleaning Corina’s fish tank – I discovered that the fish I just knew was pregenant when I bought it, must have been, because I found its small orange offspring.

Check out these photos:

He likes to hide under the large decoration in the tank.

Here's a shot of the baby with its orange mother. I wonder what happened to all his brothers and sisters? Did the filter get them? Did the other fish eat them? Did mom eat them?
