I thought I was a Pup of Leisure.
Mom recently got into the habit of hauling us to the office with her and now I spend my days surrounded by paperwork (literally)!
And the buzz of electronic machinery.
I even had to attend a meeting in the talking room.
Ginger’s not paying attention!
So, I’ve already been invited to a bored meeting; I now see how it got it’s name.
Huh? Even my attention is waning.
The first day I came to the office, I started out taking dictation.
Uh huh, yup, I’m listening….(snort, snarf, snoozzzzzzz).
They didn’t even let me take off my coat first, but at least I got to bring my own chair.
wutz that? yes, yes, I’m listening…
dictation is h a r rr d .
Of course, Princess didn’t have to work.
As soon as I’m rested, I think I’ll go to the water cooler where the real action is…
After proving my abilities though, I got promoted; now I get sent out to fetch lunch.
i have to watch out for princess too (don’t forget that I’m the boss)
come on ginger, the food is better at this truck
I wonder What’s for dinner? or betteR yet, I wonder what Mom iz cooking for dinner?
I think tomorrow I’m gonna call in sick
Stacey, I miss you so much. I would like to reconnect with you. I can take the bus to Downtown Seattle to meet you for lunch. My parents will be out of town on the weekend of Feb. 27-28th so I will be in Ballard with nothing to do. Please let me know if this is a good time to meet up with you and maybe meet your husband. I also would love to meet Ginger and Buddy. Your friend, Nancy
I am so sorry we are crossing schedules. One day you will meet my little fur babies.
It took me forty years to realise that there was a cure for sharing Buddy’s attitude to the world of work: give it up. I did and the boredom disappeared overnight. Hope you are well. Simon
I can’t imagine you are ever bored Simon. You have living life down well. Glad to see you have taken up writing again.
Buddy’s so right. My thought on meetings is simple. I’ve met. Now I much prefer my “meetings” be held in the kitchen! And whenever possible, with you. Love, Linda
I’m with you on that. The kitchen should be the center of all offices too. Corporate design meets real world living. The best thinking involves food!
Thanks to Buddy for reminding me that I do not miss Board (aka bored) Meetings at all! Had to attend too many of them during my working years. Ahh, retirement;-)
Retirement indeed! Enjoy it, Can’t wait until we will. Love working too though, in a weird sort of way. Good to like what you do I guess.
Hi Stacey! I am perusing Buddy’s post and I see Pioneer Square – are you working in the neighborhood? I’m in the neighborhood through this week then moving downtown. We are so overdue to catch up – I’d love to see you.
Hope all is well!!
We do need to catch up – again!!! Miss you.
