Hey Everyone! :-)
Agent Thoth discusses more of the trials and tribulations associated with living with hominids. Incidentally, if you've missed Agent Thoth's earlier entries, you can find them here: Thoth's Journal

Agent Thoth's Personal Log
Day Five-Hundred-Ninety-Eight:
After my last entry, I took the time to reflect on my hominid-servant's obtuseness. It occurred to me, that instead of getting frustrated, it would be much more productive for me to approach the matter with a scientific mindset. First, I will need to determine if her noncompliance is deliberate or if she is truly ignorant of the problems created by her conduct. Once that basic distinction is resolved, I will then be able to best decide how to proceed with correcting her actions. Towards that end, I will study my hominid-servant's behavior and experiment with different behavioral-modification techniques. This will allow me to determine which methods are most likely to produce desirable behaviors and which are ineffective or lead to even less desirable behaviors. Hopefully, these experiments will help guide my research into the inner workings of the hominid psyche.
In this way, I will accumulate data on why hominids act the way they do and how best to influence the conduct of domestic hominids to facilitate positive interactions with DPCIL agents. Perhaps, I will even be able to publish a hominid training manual, which would undoubtedly prove valuable to my fellow DPCIL agents. I will report periodically on my progress with this project and will share the most efficient behavioral-modification techniques as I discover them.
At last, a plan! ;-) You may have noticed that Agent Thoth has a new look. I hope you like his new picture as much as I do, but I'd love to hear your thoughts, either way. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments. ;-) Happy reading, everyone!
