As my good friend mentioned in her blog I'm one of those lucky ones who get to stuff envelopes. Yesterday was my first day to assist the existing staff. I haven't done it in YEARS and let's just say I was stressed as hell all day!! It seemed the day would never end. I did the minimum number of hours required and went home. I didn't check my email and even included an out of office advising that I didn't have access to my email. I figure if they want me to help stuff envelopes instead of my normal job then I'm not answering any questions related to my normal job while I stuff envelopes. I've also been told that if I have any technical difficulties while I stuff envelopes that I have to make up that time because we "must" have a certain amount of time devoted to the envelope stuffing.
I was back to my old duties today so tried to catch up as much as I could... And of course the day seemed to have ended before it started it went by so quick.
I'm back to stuffing envelopes Thursday, Friday and the first part of Monday. Yeah! And of course I will not answer one damn email. When I get my short breaks and lunch I'll come back to my desk... but it will be to surf the web or something mindless. I also have to hide when I'm out stuffing envelopes cause I don't want all these people coming by and saying, "oh my gosh, your stuffing envelopes? Why?" Go away, I'm busy!
Plus I'm taking next Thursday and Friday off so I will have Monday afternoon, Tuesday and Wednesday to finish my project that is due by April 15th. I hope they don't include any last minute information they want in there.

People Infuriate Me!
I don't understand how some people can be so clueless and careless!
Mr. M and I just finished watching a movie (Blades of Glory which was hilarious!) and it's about 3:45pm or so. And it's shaping up to be a hot day.
We walk out and we see this chick (who should have the fashion police called on her - black top, big belt, blue jean mini-skirt, black heels with black leg warmers) instead I hope the real police or someone is called on her. She's letting her dog take a piss in the grass and I'm thinking to myself "we're not at PetSmart, why do you have your dog here?" So Mr. M mentions that maybe her and her man are getting tickets for a later show. So I tell him to stick around I want to watch if they go inside.
They do!!!! Of course the windows are slightly rolled down because I'm sure that is plenty of air for that poor dog while they sit in a nice air-conditioned theater watching a movie! I'm furious!!! I get their tag number and chat with the Movie Manager! I don't know if there is anything that she can do or not. But she mentioned something about trying to get a hold of someone.
I hope they come and get into her nice shiny BMW, get the dog, leave a note saying we've got the dog and you can come get 'em with a penalty charge of $500 or something like that. I hope they feel bad for what they did. Obviously not so bad because they wouldn't have deliberately left there dog there in the first place.
People are idiots sometimes!!!!!

M&M Graduated Dog School!
Yeah M&M... our first "child" to graduate!
She went through all 8 weeks of training from PetSmart and she has improved so much from when she started. I know I started to document what she did every week, but I'm sure you really didn't care. :-)
The biggest improvement that I'm most proud of... I can actually get her gentle leader on and control her when we walk.
We still need to work on "stay" and "drop it". But all with time as everything else.
She's also learned a few tricks. She can shake and roll over!
I was really impressed with the training. Our instructor actually had her dog there so she would demonstrate what we were to do and the correct behavior. We had a substitute one day and she didn't have a dog. Glad we didn't have her the whole 8 weeks I think it would have been difficult.
Here's our instructor with her dog.
Bitter & Pissed!
bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed, pissed...
Okay, I don't usually talk about what's going on at work. And I really won't give any details here except to say that I'm bitter and pissed at my company right now. I have a project due in the middle of next month which is pretty high priority. I have to go to a weekly meeting with the Executives to discuss this project... but there is a crunch going on so I'm being pulled away from it to do this other thing. Which now gives me 7 days to complete my original project.
I'm salary so it doesn't matter how much time I put in. But I was putting in at least an hour or more a day to work on this thing. That all stopped today!! I put in 8 hours and I went home! And I will continue to do so up until and past the due date.
It will be interesting when they ask how my part of the project is going and I tell them that it's not completely ready due to your other crunch...
Oh well!

Dog Park Etiquette
As most of you know we take M&M to the dog park every Sunday after doggie school. Although there are several rules that apply, here are the 3 that I think should be followed the most:
1. Children under 10 years are not allowed inside the fenced area
2. There should be no toys inside
3. Big dogs go in the big dog area and little dogs go in the little dog area
I'll explain my opinions of each...
1. Children under 10 years are not allowed inside the fenced area
I know, I know I'll get a bit of critisism from the parents, I've already heard it from my best friend. However there is a reason they have this rule and I've seen it first hand. Here's an example of it going okay. A few weeks ago I actually witnessed two mothers bring in there strollers with their babies into the big dog section. Yes I said babies! Now I know that mothers like to get out of the house as well and they can come to the park, I just don't feel that they should come inside the fenced area. Now if they kept the babies inside the carriage where it might be a little safer I might have been okay. But no, they took them out and sat on the ground with the babies in their laps in front of them. Now why might this be bad? Well dogs get hyper and they like to jump on you sometimes. Sometimes these dogs jump on me and I'm adult and sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall over. And this past weekend there was a boy in there no higher than your waist and a dog got hyper and kept jumping on him. The dad had to get in between the both of them and shield his son with his own body. And of course the boy is frightened and crying. Now what if one of these hyper dogs went to one of those mothers with their babies in their lap? How would they protect them? Roll over to use their own body as a shield?
2. There should be no toys inside
And they mean anything that can qualify as a toy in the dogs eye. There are plenty of old tennis balls out there and they get used. Most dogs are pretty decent with each other when they are used. But then there are people who bring in soccer balls and actually play soccer in the corner while their dog is playing. And dogs want to get into the middle of that. And this next one also ties into #1... there are some kids who use the leash of their dog to jump rope. To a dog... this is a toy. And of course the dog wanted to play. So what does the dog do? Jump up on the kid.. and what happened? The kid got scratched or slightly bitten to were there was a small amount of blood that was drawn. Oh and the mom went ballistic as if it was the dog's owners fault. And those people, it was their first time to the park. I had chatted with them. I'm sure I'll never see them again.
3. Big dogs go in the big dog area and little dogs go in the little dog area
There's a reason why they have separate areas for different sized dogs. This past weekend I was in the big dog area and a couple came in with their small dog. Well M&M, as a husky, is known for being a dominate dog. And well what an easier dog to dominate than a small dog. So of course she went to "greet" her and of course I had to go grab her. Mine wasn't the only dog that went to greet their dog. They finally got wise and went to the other area.
Then there was this other dog, very cute looked like a stuffed animal I couldn't even tell you it's breed. Anyway it was playing with another smaller dog (both in the big dog section) and they were cute. And if they had just stayed playing with each other they could have been fine. However they're dogs and they wanted to explore the rest of the area. Now I didn't see exactly what happened I just remember hearing a big commotion... owners grabbing their dogs.... dogs yelping... dogs barking... one guy on the ground cuddling his cute little dog that used to look like a stuffed animal yelling "get your dogs off my dog, there's blood!".
Now M&M was not part of any of this, we'd been there about an hour and half and she was tired and we were getting ready to go home anyway. But I did grab her by the collar and walked her way so she wouldn't get interested in all the commotion. But it is interesting how it's "our" fault when your tiny dog gets a bit of rough playing from our bigger dogs. If you want to play in the big dog park - buy a big dog! Otherwise your lap dog goes in the small section.
Those are my 3 cents.

Wii Dancing Video
This is the funniest video I have seen in so long. I've watched it several times now and it cracks me up evertime.
It's from YouTube and it's some music video from another country and someone put sub titles on it making fun of the wii. The best part to me is the "wii butchery, wii guitar and wii Michael Jackson". Oh and the guy looks like George Michael, when I first tried to play it for Mr. M that's who he thought it was.
Freaking funny!!!! Enjoy!!!!
