My husband is an admitted (and very obvious) introvert while I am an admitted (and VERY OBVIOUS) extrovert. This Yin-Yang type of relationship is supposed to work gang busters, and most of the time it does. Especially since over the years Damon has slowly become more exroverted and I more introverted. I mean, I haven't danced on a dueling piano in atleast 8 months!
This gear switch was never more obvious than last week when my husband informed me he would be going out with his boys for a beer after work...again. I tried to recall the last time I had actually "gone out" with my co-workers & realized that my dogs had become my co-workers.
I work from home now and in every way possible my dogs have become my work people. I bitch to them about my day when things aren't going well. I talk to them about the family because, by now, they know them as well as I do. We eat lunch together - and sometimes I don't ask one of them to join us because they are doing something weird...like eating their own poop.
Plus, I'm just going to admit it, there is some serious nepotism happening in the workplace. I have talked to Maya, my mini-Doxie, about her attitude over and over again but I just can't see her advancing over Charlotte. UGH, that reminds me....it's Maya's birthday next week. I better get an office collection going so we can get her a card & cake. Just the other day I was talking to Ralph about the drama last year when everybody forgot. It was classic....
Good grief...I need a life!
Keep up the good work. lmfao
