I made my first order at Snrio.com. I wanted the Black Hello Kitty lanyard for work, my usual store had ran out of them. This is one my pet peeves: Sanrio stores running out of item or keeping too few in stock. Sanrio.com came though for me.  For good measure, I also bought a Chococat and My Melody Christmas ornaments.

There is a rhyme to my reason for the black lanyard. After my earlier contract, I became aware about being furry at work. Even through they say my Hello Kitty items were not the issue; I still feel it doesn’t’ help if I stick out in the environment.  I decided this time  I would be a sneaky Kitty, and be less  overt about my love for Katy Chan at work. First, the Hello Kitty backpack. First rule of working is to fit into the work culture. I noted nobody had character backpacks, so I took a lager backpack to hold my Hello Kitty backpack. All I have to do is to pull out my Kitty backpack for the weekends.  Next, I took care of lanyard and Computer personalization. The word is inconspicuous hence the Black Hello Kitty lanyard. The computer wallpapers was more harder; I could not find a subdue Hello Kitty wall paper, too many of them bright or pink colors,. The solution was to uses Paint Shop pro on my chosen background, Black background with a pink Hello Kitty badge.  First, I changed the color to blue then blended Hello Kitty into the background.

Of course, there is one way to be 100% Kitty without working at Sanrio, my own business. If my business grows and I am a rich CEO, my personal secretary will have to remember to load my private jet with my Hello Kitty plushies and take them to the hotel room.  Another way as a go, as a furry I know puts it, s to be the most valuable worker and they will put up with some eccentricities.
