Agent Thoth's Personal Log

Day Seven-Hundred-Twenty-Eight:

My hominid-servant routinely uses a spray container filled with H2O as a means of forcing me from the pursuit of my studies in venues of which she disapproves. I have endeavored to explain to her the necessity of my accessing the locations she has deemed off-limits, but my attempts at reason have fallen on deaf ears. Despite my pleas, my hominid-servant continues to loose streams of H2O in my direction at seemingly random moments, which saturates my fur and destroys my concentration. To be fair to her, she did try verbal dissuasion methods first, which I naturally ignored, but it didn't take her long to resort to the underhanded tactics she is using now.

I believe my hominid-servant's main motivation for employing the H2O strategy is that she does not wish to rise from her seat in order to physically remove me from the target I am pursuing. On the theory that I can use her inherent laziness against her, I have decided to test the range of her H2O deployment device. If I can determine exactly how far away I need to be to evade the spray, I may be able to concentrate my research efforts in those areas.

This does, of course, mean that I must repeatedly allow myself to be doused with H2O as I systematically record the places where the dreadful substance does and does not land. It's quite a sacrifice on my part, as wearing H2O isn't nearly as agreeable an experience as drinking it. Especially, since the means by which my hominid-servant delivers her deterrent is engineered to penetrate through all my layers of fur, which causes unsettling trickles of the liquid to course along my skin.

However, once I have successfully mapped my hominid-servant's range with her squirting apparatus, I believe the resulting peace in which I will be able to continue my work will prove my efforts worthwhile. I must admit, it does give me some satisfaction to think that I have come to understand my hominid-servant well enough that I am able to use her own natural inclinations against her. I will report back once I have completed this experiment to inform you of the results.

Ugh! Hominids can be so unreasonable! ;-) 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!
