Unexpected Perception

Grumpy Puppy!

Today I said to one of my bosses (I’ll call him Boss #2 here), “I’m sorry for being grumpy.”
Boss #2 replied, “You’ve got room to be.”
Me: “I know, but grumpiness can be a habit and I don’t want it to be one of mine.”
It kind of made me feel better to perceive it that way unexpectedly.

As hectic as things are this week at work, I still had quality time with my staple remover today. (Freak!) I love making sure groups of docs are collated a certain way before adding additional docs & staples. I said it last week and I’ll say it again: I’m that compulsive. Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone.

red = objets d’gratitude du jour
And how cool is it that I figured out where to find the code for red text?

    what a cute grumpy puppy. i’m not sure that i’ve ever actually aspired to quality time with my staple remover. i do, however, firmly believe that when it comes to the label maker it is both the quality and the quantity of the time that matters. :)

    Andy says this is not just a grumpy puppy, he says the puppy is smoldering with rage . . . . That makes him a 4″ tall towering inferno of tension and fur! Step away from the puppy.

    :) Yes - love the picture. I found it last night & “borrowed it” from a blog that’s been inactive for over a year.

    Thanks for stopping by, grahamprouty. :)

    the great thing about grumpy puppy is that you can’t look at that and stay grumpy!
