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.

Would you like the receipt with you, or in the bag?
I don't really understand why people ask this. Doesn't it take longer to ask this question and wait for the answer than to just let the person do what they please with the receipt? Oh well. Go »Cereal
Scott mentioned having 5 boxes of cereal - that is nothing, I just did a quick count at home and we have at least 25! Some extras might be lurking in other rooms of the house! It's quite unbelievable really. Go »Londo and Life
I woke up in the mood to write quite a bit but I feel my communication skills have fled me as of late, if indeed I ever had any to begin with. I can only hope someone out there will make some sense out of this. Yesterday was the big day at the convention and it was cool. Go »The Plight of Live Music in Fargo
My husband is in a band.. the problem is it's terribly difficult to find a place to play. Every few months, a new place will start offering live music. Go »Ghost of an Unkissed Kiss
As though I don't look bad enough for sharing information on my lame celebrity crushes, here's a real-life one, albeit a really old one. I'd forgotten that his full name was in the movie we watched the other day and maybe hearing his name was what got me started on this nostalgic path. He's got a common name. Go »
