Bad News

A couple of years ago my kid got an OZOBOT for Christmas, it follows lines/courses you make on paper with marker pens/basic coding, anyway there was a pile of paper covered in different marker pen tracks on the living room carpet.  The cat came home soaking wet yesterday morning and made a beeline for the pile of paper, laid on them and fell asleep, when he woke up his wetness has transferred all the black,blue,green and red permanent marker through the paper and onto the carpet, its a right fucking mess! ive tried cleaning it with Vanish carpet mousse and made it worse? any suggestions before i try the decking cleaner?

Ive got some 99.9% IPA under the sink, ive got nowt to loose...

I'll pour it on the carpet for my dead homies..

So I had been interviewing with a company in Seattle, had 3 rounds of phone calls and then had an in person interview scheduled for this Thursday. Flights and hotel booked, everything was good to go.
Last Thursday I got a phone call from the recruiter saying that the position had been filled.
I was really excited at the opportunity and even convinced myself that I could make the move.
Just not sure how this kind of thing happens.

On the bright side, you won't be suffering the weather there when it turns to shit for the next five months.
