summertime, summertime, sum-sum summertime!

so i have a lot of thoughts on my mind right now. renee, perhaps i should be on the THOUGHT leadership committee?!?! good thing i'm on the IDEAS xchange committee! hahahaha!

anyways, back to my next topic...... it's the dog days of summer (i don't know what that means, but i've heard it before, and i'm using it now!), and after suffering through our first extremely hot week of the summer, i have a few things to say.......

1. everyone should take a shower EVERY DAY!
2. after taking a shower, everyone should use anti-persperent or deodorant! come on......it's only $3, and the blasted thing lasts for a long time! definitely $ well spent.
3. don't stand in the skytrain (or other mode of transit) and hold onto the ceiling - first, we don't need to smell your pits since you obviously don't take item 2 into consideration; second, how on earth is finger-tipping the ceiling going to prevent you from falling onto someone else?; third, there is no third - just don't be so stupid!!!!
4. why is it so hard to follow the office dresscode? i don't like to be a snitch, but seriously, if i get busted for something (the eternal flip-flops vs. sandals debate), then the wrath of tres will fall upon everyone else. these are dress code violations from this week........why are ppl wearing jeans when it's not friday? is it so hard to put on a bra that doesn't show any nipples? or to wear the proper thong when you wear a light coloured pair of pants or skirt? ugh! i don't care what these ppl do outside of the office, but come on, we're in downtown vancouver, and there's a certain standard to follow, right? or am i wrong?
5. why can everyone take summer friday's off except me? today, out of my team of 14 ppl, only 5 of us are working in the office (1 person is leaving at noon) and 2 are working from home. i hate friday's because with so few ppl in the office, it's less motivating to do any work, hence my blog update :-)
6. starbucks came out w/more new bevvies! i'm definitely going to try them this weekend! i was slightly upset this a.m. when i found out there was no banana creme crunch bar for breakfast, and i had to settle for a date bar :-(
7. hey! today is keah's 14th birthday! when she was a puppy we used to buy her new toys and treats to celebrate, but now since she's on a rice/chicken/senior food diet, we don't get her anything. plus she's a little crotchety in her old age......she bit me a couple months ago, when i approached her from behind to pet her. i guess that's what happens when you're 80% deaf and 50% blind.
8. both of my grandma's are turning 96 years old next week. if it's genetic, then i guess i still have a lot of living to do :-) sadly, my grandpa's both passed away in their late 80's, or one of the might have been 90......i can't remember, but the creepy thing is they both passed away on the exact same day, one year apart. yikes!

well, on that happy note, i think i'll go pretend to work now. i've been blogging long enough.
