Redecoration

I'm just returning to my quarters after a couple of days as it had to be redecorated. It's been awful having to share Data's room, sitting on a spare bed. There are no spare quarters due to the Ambassadors on the ship.

That cat of his is so maddening!

Everytime I was just about to drift into dreamland, Spot would pounce on me. I'm sure he waited for the exact time I would nod off.

Anyway, all that is now in the past, and I can see what a beautiful job the top Starfleet decorators have made of the Captain's Quarters.

It's hideous.

Why are the walls bright yellow and purple, with a rainbow tinted carpet and a green ceiling?

I rush out of the room; it's either that or I pass out from the mind-expanding colours.

It takes a while, but I track down the decorators and tell them I DO NOT want a room that looks like a permanant Bajoran drug trip. After I release my hands from their necks, they assure my that they will put the room just how it was before, although it might take a day to do.

I have to ask Data if I can use the spare bed again.

Does it look as if that cat is smiling?

I don't like cats, so I empathize with your present feline problem.

Is there no one else you could room with?

Beverly doesn't have a cat, does she? {{eyebrow wraggle}}

Yes, I know it would be highly inappropriate, you being the captain and all...but hasn't the thought crossed your mind? :)

Data tries so hard to be human. Cut him and his cat some slack.

Ciera, I nmust admit, Beverly was the first person I asked if I could share quarters with. I'm still feeling the slap on the face.

Then I approached Deanna Troi. As she was an empath, she said, "I know what YOU'RE thinking...FORGET IT!"

Jamie, if you knew Spot, you wouldn't be so sympathetic.

I guess your decorators have been watching Earth TV from around 2004 - "Changing Rooms". Maybe they took some handy hints from Laurence Llewelyn Bowen, though from your description it sounds more as if Anna Ryder Richardson was their "inspiration". You will be pleased to hear that the programme has finally finished and no more are to be made... But the damage is already done I suppose!

And how would you know what a Bejoran drug trip looks like, hmmmm?
