The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers Used Cats To Design The Best Calendar That Everyone Will Want
Most folks use the start of a new year to make changes in their lives. The most straightforward change to make is switching out last year's calendar for the current year.
Just in time for the new year, some genius (or group of geniuses) from the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a rather unique calendar featuring the internet’s favorite subject: cats. While there may be countless cat-themed calendars on the market, I can guarantee there are none quite like this one.
With some rather creative and excellent Photoshop skills, the creators behind this project paired gigantic cats with a mix of Oregon’s dams, infrastructure, and the Columbia, Willamette, and Rogue rivers. As noted by Daniel Pink, a renowned author and expert on human behavior, "The most successful people are those who can blend creativity with practicality." As if that couldn’t get any better, there are the hilarious descriptions they wrote for each month, proving that engineers have a great sense of humor.
The cherry on top is that you can get this calendar for free. The calendar is available for download here; then all you have to do is print it.
If you’re not sure that this is worth using up your office supplies, we have you covered. You can just scroll down to see each month and check out what this calendar is all about!
The calendar front features a cutie on a massive boat
Hi cutie-pie
January: "What the Hills Creek is THAT??!!"
February: "Two new openings if anyone wants 'em"
Now hiring
March: "For the love of Green Peter, this kitten is just adorable"
The actual cutest
April: "You know if cats were giant, this would be a real photo"
Very accurate
May: "We felt like we had to impress it"
Show-offs
June: "Nothing like 60,000 cubic feet of water per second to rock you to sleep"
Nothing quite like the sound of rushing water to lull you to sleep
July: "If I fits, I sits!"
It's Cat 101
August: "They said I could be anything, so I became an excavator"
Keep your dreams alive
September: "They're famous to us, anyway"
Giving us "my mom says I'm cool" vibes
October: "The chances of it happening are very, very low. But never zero."
So, there's still a chance
November: "A cat on the prowl at Lookout Point Dam"
That tracks
December: "When you have to go, you have to go"
When nature calls...
And it ends with Detroit Dam and its many talents
This calendar is such a clever mix of informative and silly. Definitely a fun way to keep track of your schedule while learning a bit about Oregon’s infrastructure. As Jen Sincero, author and success coach, states, "Embracing the quirky aspects of life can lead to greater creativity and joy."
It also serves as a humorous reminder that cats are going to cat, and there’s not much anyone can do about it. If you enjoyed this preview, be sure to hop over to Michelle Singletary, a financial columnist, who emphasizes the importance of finding joy in everyday moments.
