Hypnosis

Susie practices her hypnosis technique:

Look into my eyes.
I am getting very sleepy...........................


I don't think that's really how it's supposed to work Sue. Oh well.....

The Toy Test

Susie Q. received several toys and treats on Christmas. Here are two of her favorites:

A pink and leopard print snuggle sack from my Mama........

The ugliest bug toy I have ever laid eyes on from Peter & Patricia. She loves it!

Sue & Simon's Christmas Outfits

I decided to dress up both the cat & dog for Christmas. They were both thrilled.

Bah-Humbug!
Simon can't believe this has happened to him.

Sue comfort's Simon in his moment of humiliation.

When Sue's in Dad's lap, all is right with the world once again!

Last Days

It's coming up to the last day and half on this job. It has been a very strange 7 week experience. My work ethic has definitely been challenged. For one, my office is vacant. It has the space for 5 co-workers and a large office for my boss. However, I'm the only one ever there. I rarely see my boss and I have no co-workers. I have been at the new office for about a month and am surprised at just how lonely I get.

I miss my having co-workers scrambling around me, asking me questions, debating about different aspects of Association management, making fun of varies pompous Board members, even the annoying "talker" that used to come around. I come up with several daily excuses to bother the Allstate lady next door. Do you have any mail for us? I know she doesn't....No, she replies. I linger in the doorway hoping for a tiny bit of conversation, Anything! Throw me a bone lady.

I can also come up with daily excuses to leave the office or come in later in the day. Currently having no heat in the office is a great excuse! No Internet was the excuse for about 3 weeks. Gotta catch up on the work e-mail at home. Darn. I really want to sit in that vacant cold office.. but with no Internet, I am FORCED to work at home. ;)

I'm looking forward to the job I will start next Tuesday so I can once again hold my head up in society. Not a loafer, e-mailing clients at home in my bathrobe with grape nuts stuck in my teeth. Happy days...can't wait to be accountable again.

The Stupid Factor

I have spent this morning trying to figure out what is wrong with our office thermostat. I called the management company, my boss and PG&E. Turns out... there is nothing wrong with the heater except the bill was not paid. Therefore, PG&E shut off our gas and there is no source of heat in the office. The shirt on the right sums up exactly the way I feel today.
