I’m a kitty litter engineer.  Sounds fancy, I know.  But it don’t mean jack.  In fact, it’s a running joke down at the mill.  My job is to make a more efficient cat litter.  To make a cat litter that has some public appeal, like clumping, or odorless, or environmentally friendly.  And, yeah, I had to have a degree.  Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Missouri State University.  And they told me I ought to have aspired for a more renown University.  Pish Posh.  Now I spend my days sniffing cat crap.  Feeling cat crap.  Measuring cat crap.  Hell, we raise cats right there on the site for their crap.  That’s what I do.  Every stinking day.  The only advantage to working here?  They don’t do drug tests.
