The most appreciated moment during the work week is our Wednesday morning meeting. That can happen on Thursdays... or Fridays... or any day, as long as there are donuts and coffee! This week it was Wednesday.
Despite the social side of it, we do talk about work. It's a nice way to summarize where we are on the different projects and ask for guidance if needed.
But then comes the social side. That usually happens when all other topics have been covered and we really don't want to go back to work. Today's conversation wandered into allergies. And pets. And relatives with severe allergies to pets. And we all came to the conclusion that between our pets and some people (in my mind, that included extended family), our pets will trump many people! In all honesty, I was the one saying it first, but they eventually caved and agreed.
The scenario was something in the lines of:
Other: " X is visiting and he is severely allergic to cats. Cat vs person, you'd think they would send the cat away so X can breathe!"
Me: "My kitty trumps a LOT of people for me... I wouldn't send her away either, X would have to suck it up and have some allergy pills"
And that only reinforces my strong belief that i love that cat with all my heart! Even if she doesn't feel the same way about me. And a while ago, when she went all crazy and wanted to attack hubby, i did do a double take in taking sides... He said "you have to choose: the cat or me". And for a fraction of a second, I did think about it... Finally said I would choose him, but not without a touch of guilt and the strong hope that no action had to be taken. Luckily she decided to go back to her normal, hubby-worshiping cat, and the world fell back in place, not forcing me to make any decisions that would rip an extra piece of my heart.
YES, this became a post about how much i love my cat. YES, I am a pet person, and love them with all my heart. YES, i can write whatever the f#$% i want here, because i am the one reading it anyway!
YES, it's Wednesday and i am bored out of my mind at work while procrastinating the bowling alley stuff...
