Your cat's smarter than ours. When we bring the cat carrier out, he wants to explore it. When he does, we shut him in. Works every time and he hasn't figured it out yet.
My old company had a similar system, but it was based on a 35 hour work week squeezed into 70 hours over 9 days.
You could also choose the day you wanted to take off within reason. Excellent for those doctors/dentists appointments and errands that could only be done on a weekday. Particularly when you worked on a remotish site and there was no nearby shops, or you had to commute to the other side of the city to work but needed to do some weekday errands near home.
It's a system I greatly miss. Don't miss much else abou thtat job though...
Most construction sites in Australia have a 19 day month (1 day of every 4 weeks)
I am glad to hear that the other posters disapprove of your post as strongly as I. As a NASA Astronaut I abhor the implication that NASA is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we now have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the USAF who now suffer the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Argylls ate in Aden. Arabs? Yours etc. Captain B.J. Smethwick in a white wine sauce with shallots, mushrooms and garlic.
It isn't a problem if you use the right membrane system.
After all, they can filter out Na+ and Cl- (salt) in a desalination plant. Viruses, drug molecules and hormones are all much bigger than that.
Not only that, despite being 3-4x the price, they're still actually the same cheap LG or Samsung drive that you can buy elsewhere, just with the Dell specific mounting.
I always get White box systems and have never had a significant problem, but then, I notice when for example, a fan stops turning due to seized bearings and I know how to fix it. People who don't understand the innards of their PC (unlike most Slashdotters) wouldn't notice until their PC started randomly rebooting due to overheating. And they wouldn't understand why - they just call Dell and get them to replace whatever needs replacing.
Such people are best served by the no questions asked warranty that Dell provides and that is what you are paying for.
Meanwhile I will continue to happily build my own out of parts bought on eBay and pocket the difference.
Instead of a USB key, a micro SD card like the one in your phone. You can hide those just about anywhere, but you will need two. One for your secret stuff and one for your phone.
You can explain the reader/adapter that you will need by showing them the card in your phone. Or else throw away the reader. They're pretty cheap.
What if no version of the hardware you need that can be purchased has free software available? What do you do then?
Pester the driver maintainer to support hardware you can actually still buy?
Pester the hardware manufacturer to bring out a Free Software driver? (no, sorry Mr manufacturer, the driver you provide on your website doesn't comply with my philosophy, so you'll have to try again) Good luck with that.
-or use the hardware and software that allows you to get the job done?

That still happens, My nine year old just created a "Jedi Olympics" tableau, and he regularly creates scenarios combining the Star Wars Lego figures with other characters and vehicles not seen in any of the movies.
Lego may be more complicated, but it still allows a lot of scope for creativity.

And when we get to Zippy Zebra sometime in 2017, the world will end and it will still take more than 20 seconds to boot.
You tell the young people today that, and they'll never believe you.

You could just pull the ABS fuse when there is snow. You would just get the ABS light on all the time.
The comet is alive. It's a Yuuzhan Vong worldship come to invade. They can't be sensed in the force.

Look, this business model wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! Oh dear...

This is Australia. Voting is compulsory.
I don't think the majority of slahdotters used to one handed surfing would have a problem with this.

Yeah, and in 200 years, the Martians will come back and thump us at every sport we ever invented.

My son is nine. He has his own email account with our ISP.
I keep an eye on his inbox.
It's that simple really.
It means more markets for us - yay!
So does the hardware you removed the blob for still work, or did you break it?
