My company had been doing the so-called supplier tour for some time, a way of getting to know first-hand a good number of suppliers of the main instruments that we then offer to our end customers. For us it is essential to have reliable suppliers in order to guarantee the best service to our customers. In a certain way, we depend on them and that is why a fluid relationship with them is so important, because in the event of any failure, we will be responsible to the client.

However, in the last two years, my company canceled this tour for health reasons since, after all, it was not something essential either, although it was important. But given the current best circumstances, it has been decided to resume this custom and I will be one of the members of the ‘embassy’ for which we have already collected our Carabiner Pendants – lanyards that must be presented at the suppliers’ branches.

For me it will be the first time and it is a good opportunity to learn how other companies in our same sector work, even if they are dedicated to providing supplies and not offering final solutions like us. But, as other colleagues have told me, the experience is very interesting from a work point of view. And it is that, if you have been working for a long time in the same company as is my case, you end up adapting a series of work patterns that are different from those of other companies.

In this sense, our company is quite traditional in the way it approaches work. In fact, it was quite difficult for him to put the appropriate means to facilitate teleworking at the most delicate moment of the pandemic because it was not an alternative applied until that moment in our company.

On the contrary, it is also true that the salaries are a little higher than in other competing companies. In any case, after collecting the Carabiner – lanyard pendants for the supplier tour, it is time to recover some of our good habits that have led us to be a reference in our sector.

Cat scratchers are much more than just a toy. They are a real must for indoor cats who don’t have the opportunity to spend their nails marking trees or digging in the dirt.

For a cat, scratching is much more than a game, it is a form of communication since with scratching they mark their areas of action and warn other animals of their presence. If in a home the cat does not have a place to scratch and indulge this instinct, it will end up doing it in the corners of the sofa, the door frames or the furniture.

There are a lot of very attractive scraper models on the market that span all sizes, but they are often expensive. And there is not always enough space for them. Therefore, making a scraper can be a great idea, since it is very simple.

You only need fine wood, like the one you can buy cut in any DIY store, twisted sisal cord and white glue. Better than the one used for children’s crafts that is not toxic.

A good idea is to buy two pieces of wood and join them with some L-shaped tabs. In this way we can place the scratching post in the corner of the sofa where the cat likes to scratch or on a door. We can also use an elongated board that we will later screw into the wall so that the cat can not only scratch, but also stretch completely.

Having chosen the design, we nailed a corner of sisal in a point of the wood and began to wrap it around it. We will use the glue so that each row of sisal is firmly attached to the previous one and to the wood and in this way the scraper is not disassembled on the first day of games. It is very important that the cord is perfectly taut so that it does not catch when playing and ends up easily detaching.

The first few days, the cat may not know very well what we are offering and show reluctance. A good idea is to play with your kitten and invite him to scratch, even holding his legs lovingly and running them through the sisal. In no time, scratching will become one of his favorite toys.

I do not understand people who get upset because other people are dressed in tracksuits, as if the people who wear tracksuits every day we hurt the eyes of those who dress thinner. If I don’t criticize how anyone is dressed, no one should criticize my way of dressing, because yes, I am one of those people who is always dressed in a tracksuit and I am not at all ashamed. Because the tracksuit is the most comfortable garment that has ever been invented, if I have to tell the truth I don’t understand how there aren’t more people wearing tracksuit on a daily basis.

The problem I have with the tracksuits is that lately they are not putting a bungee cord on them, which allowed that your pants never fell as they happen too often with the last pants that I had bought. To solve this problem, I contacted a manufacturer of elastic cord to be able to buy a lot of elastic cord at a very good price. I think that now I will not have to suffer from that problem anymore.

With all this of the pandemic and the confinement I can tell you that I do not remember when was the last time I put on jeans, because I only wear jeans to go out at night and since they have not let us for a year Going out at night I deduce that I have been wearing my tracksuits every day for more than a year now, which I have to say I have a few. I am completely sure that during this pandemic many people have realized that life in tracksuits is lived better and much more comfortable. But there will always be people who do not consider tracksuits an appropriate clothing to go out on the street. I have been fighting this kind of people for many years now and I have to say that although they think they are better for being dressed in a finer way, I am convinced that my way of seeing this situation is correct because I am never uncomfortable or have cold when I’m in a tracksuit.
