For the past couple days, my dog has been Houdini-ing her way out of our fence and into the neighbor's yard, where she hangs out with their puppies, and I've been trying to find a hole she could squeeze through somewhere, with no luck. A couple months ago, she chewed through the wiring for our electric gate (SERIOUSLY) so we've been old-schooling it by bungeeing it shut. I just got home from work half an hour ago, let the dogs out, and came inside to get something to drink, then caught Daisy trotting across the front yard in the corner of my eye. So, I snuck into the greenhouse and hid behind a cactus to watch her (I'M SPYING ON MY DOG, I KNOW), and she walked up to the gate, stopped a couple steps away and actually LOOKED AROUND to make sure I wasn't there, and then PULLED the gate open with her PAW far enough to shove her head and shoulders through, then wiggled her bottom half out. She's like a goddamn doggie MacGyver, and I am SO on to her.
At work today, the boss lady came up to me and was like, "We were looking for an excuse to have a pizza party, and you've officially been here for a year, so CONGRATULATIONS, what kind of pizza do you like?!" Pizza in my honor! \o/
Then she realized that really my year was up in January, so the raise I was supposed to get was three months overdue, so my next paycheck is going to be a FAT ONE to make up for it. \o/\o/\o/
A couple weeks ago, I learned that a couple girls I work with watch Supernatural, and today this happened:
Kate: *makes coffee!*
Co-Worker K: HAAAAI GUESS WHAAAT.
Kate: ...?
Co-Worker K: SUPERNAAATURAL IS ON TONIGHT.
Kate: OH MY GOD I KNOW. I mean, um. Sweet!
Co-Worker K: I'M SOOOO EXCIIITED!!
Kate: That show is, like, my ultimate guilty pleasure.
Co-Worker K: Oh, there's no guilty about it, it's pure PLEASURE.
Co-Worker M: *sidles over* I don't get tv at my house, I'm so bummed!
Kate: Me too!
Co-Worker M: Hey, let's you and me hit up a sportsbar tonight and flirt with the bartender until he turns the television to the CW!
Kate: ... AHAHA.
I get all flustered when they talk about it! It's like fandom in real life, and my brain just kind of goes "...?!" It's a feeling very much related to the one I got when I first walked into the hotel for Eyecon.
And after work I went to the video store to get started on Torchwood, and the dynamic duo at the checkout were the most fantastically stereotypical geek video store clerks EVER. It took me five minutes to get out of there because the one started trying to convince the other one to start watching Doctor Who, heeee.
A question! Do any of y'all have much experience with teeth whiteners? If there's one thing I'm really self-conscious about, it's my teeth, and relatedly, my smile. So for starters, whiter would be better! And I don't really know what's out there, and what's supposed to work best, so any advice would be awesome. ♥
I think I drank too much COFFEE on my shift today, I'm all WORKED UP.
