November 24, 2009

I joke pretty often about having the best coworkers. Canine ones, that is. They don’t gossip. They don’t take part in office politics. They don’t criticize my work. Sure, they do interrupt me.

  2. Okay, did you just clean off your desktop for the photo or does it always look that uncluttered? So jealous.. I should take a photo of my desk at work. Scary!
