November Officer

Author: CL5 missMaul
Department: Communications

Our November Featured Officer is Commander KittyKat. KittyKat's real name is Kathryn, she's 22 years old and lives just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland. She called herself KittyKat because she likes cats. Go Figure

KittyKat found Oupost10f when she received an email from Sorsha not long after she got internet. It was a standard promotional email that the Communications department used to sent out to advertise OTF. Since KittyKat hadn't had much luck finding a chat room she liked she decided to check OTF out. She stayed ever since.

She decided to stay because there aren't much Star Trek fans where she lives. In OTF there were a lot of those and they didn't only like Star Trek, they also had a lot of other hobbies in common. Another great feature to KittyKat was the trivia and she really wanted to be in the trivia team and help make the questions. So she joined the trivia team and after a while made it trivia team leader. When she had seen that she joined the awards team. And now she has made it to senior manager of Communications.

Now KittyKat knows OTF through and through she found out that OTF has very many good things. But she considers the fact that she can talk to and have something in common with people from all over the world the best. That we're so global and diverse but we can all find something to talk about. In OTF KittyKat is more outspoken than in than in real life. In real life she is a bit more shy, especially to people she doesn't know. In OTF she doesn't too much of someone doesn't like her and she dares to say what she thinks.

OTF has given KittyKat an addiction for one. But also a bit more confidence. Because when she has a bad day, when nothing seems to be going right, she can come into the chat room and talk to friends who will cheer her up. In real life KittyKat works in state retirement pensions which involves making sure men over age 65 and women over 60 are getting the pension they're entitled to from the government. (It's more complicated than it sounds.)

So. a normal weekday KittyKat gets up, gets ready and goes to work. When she gets home after work she goes usually goes online for a couple hours. In her time off KittyKat likes going to the cinema, read a book, listen to music, go to OTF and on Thursday evening she usually goes to a pub quiz. She doesn't have any special hobbies, but she thinks she could class internet as one.

Friends and family are both equally important to KittyKat. She finds that they're the people you need in life and who need you but I think you have different relationships with each and so you can't say one is more important than the other. For KittyKat the most important thing in life is being happy. Just being content in life is the secret to a happy life according to KittyKat. So KittyKat always tries to have small attainable goals so life doesn't get more difficult than it already is.

According to KittyKat having big goals, like getting married before you're 30, isn't the way life works. So her current goal is passing her driving test.

As for the future of OTF she sees only good things. She thinks that with our ever learning engineers etc and our growing membership how could it not be? And she is just glad to be a part of it and helping in a small way towards the experience.
