Wednesday

It is a boring Wednesday - work, work and more work! We are extremely busy at work at the moment. Our workload has increased and people are taking time off to use up their holiday before March 31st. So everyone is getting pretty stressed out. I just sit and plod along, you cant go much faster than you already are I figure and there is more to life than getting through a pile of work just find another pile has replaced it!

I took Millie and Barney for a walk this morning over the little patch of green that we have a few yards up the road. If I let Millie off the lead she gets to have a good run around, but she nearly always finds a bone and wont come back in! This morning she found a bone. Barney was chasing her for it so she was running off. So I took him home, leaving her in the middle of the green. She wasn't going anywhere because she was too busy chewing her bone. I got in the car, drove the 50 yards to where she was lying down and pretending we were going for a walk. Luckily she now associates getting in the car to going for a nice long walk and she quite happily discarded her bone and jumped into the car. I very calmy took her straight home and put her into her crate.
GRRR. She is going to be sterilised next Monday so hopefully she might calm down a bit, you never know.

Andy, Sev and I went to a Navy presentation and he has completed the application form. So now he has started his first steps towards joining up. I am pretty nervous about him joining up as there is a distinct possibility he might end up in Afghanistan at some point, but he is very keen to go ahead with it and has really researched life in the Navy. I suppose it is better than quiting college and doing some menial job that he does not enjoy.

For one of the swap bot challenges we get to take photos of our work place. Here are a few for you to muse over. Just a boring office with a limited view. :)

The limited view out of window. We look out onto a small courtyard that has walls on all four sides. Then one of the whole office. One of my desk. And the last one shows part of our Christmas decorations. One of the girls at work collects soft toys to decorate the office for Christmas, Easter and Halloween. This corner was for the penguins. We put up snow and wrapping paper on the wall so it looked less bare, but I didn't get a photo of the completed look as we were so busy at work - again! On the window ledge there was a huge collection of reindeer. People from all over the building come to admire our decorations.
