Office Party
by Denise Sawicki on August 19, 2006
Last weekend we went to an office party at my boss's lake house. We took Philip and he got along famously with my boss's dog, Willow, who is half greyhound and half husky. I like Willow quite a bit. I always try to coax her to come over and say hi to me whenever she visits the office. Philip was chasing Willow around their back yard. He couldn't really catch her because he is about half as tall and has no greyhound blood. But he made a pretty good effort. When things switched around so she was chasing him, he made a daring escape by jumping onto their raised fllowerbed and then onto the deck. I am really astounded that he did that, because the flowerbed was at least 3 and a half feet off the ground! At the end of the evening we put on a little dog show - we had brought props for Philip's tricks - and everyone seemed quite impressed. The boss said Philip should be on Letterman.
This hasn't really opened up any conversational avenues at work, though. I should know by now that it's not that easy :)
What this weekend has in store, I do not know yet.

I think it's also got to do with the fact that you can fairly quickly use up the "safe topics" which can be discussed with co-workers.

goodbye dialup...
So, I've finally got some form of high speed internet though it's probably the slowest high speed they make (512 k). I like it though. It is so much better than what we had before. Go »Giant flakes of cereal
The big news of today is we found a big flake of raisin bran crunch. I don't know if it's quite as big as the one featured in the coming link but it's pretty big. You can get some idea of what my life is like because I then proceeded to google for "largest flake" and "giant flake". Go »Who are you calling a pipsqueak?
So now we have moved on to watching Fullmetal Alchemist. We borrowed season 1 from the library. I quite like it. Go »TV crushes
I need to apologize for the rather fangirlish reference in my last goo. I was having a little crush on Marcus Cole when I made the goo... that is my justification. Go »Thundersnow
We had a nice thunder snowstorm on Tuesday evening. It was kind of surreal actually. I don't remember experiencing such odd weather before. Go »
