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.

A girl wants to meet me
I'm scared of girls. Go »Frustrated
I just get so frustrated. I want my husband to be happy but the things he's decided will make him happy are completely out of our control (success at music). I wish something good would happen for him finally. 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 »Crawlspace
Darrell just ordered an Atari on ebay. It just felt good to get annoyed with my mom first :) The guys are so excited looking over all the additional Atari games they could buy. I know it's kind of stupid to be buying that kind of thing instead of the hugely complex games that exist now, but Darrell said he wants the crawlspace to be a fun place without the kind of long, complicated game that can cause painful obsessions. Go »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 »
