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.

Stuff you may not realize about me :)
I don't know if people realize this, but I do talk, and I do have a sense of humor of a sort... it's just that it's only with Darrell and Darrin that these things come out! It seems my frame of reference for the world is quite a bit different than most people's. Go »Sims 2
So I've been somewhat of a Sims 2 addict lately. But it's so easy. It gets boring when everybody has a perfect life, maxed skills, and reaches their lifetime want. Go »Being Rich
I've decided I wouldn't really want to be wealthy. OK, in many people's estimation I am probably wealthy already, but, what I really mean is I wouldn't want to live like a wealthy person. I wouldn't want a huge house on the lake with my own boat.. Go »Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?
Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. Go »supernaturally unlucky
Back among some of the first posts I made to this blog I had one called "False Hope" and another called "Another Irritating Thing". Well the same kind of thing has happened numerous more times to Darrell, but in the realm of writing, not music. Darrell and Darrin decided they were going to be writers... Go »
