My new office assistant.

Taken by my lame, grainy phone camera. She's a Kim Lasher Fiona, for whom I waited a little over a full year after I'd ordered her and put her on layaway--and I have to admit that that annoyed me so much (and I was so broke!) that I had decided to sell her. Everyone else had the same wait and the same idea, though, so there was a little glut on the market, she didn't sell for a month on Bay, and meanwhile, I got a job, and kind of attached to her. It wasn't her fault she took a year to arrive, the poor thing. She reminds me of Grumpy Cat, whom I adore.

Her name is still Fiona, because it suits her, and I call her Fee. She's very serious about doing her job, it seems. I may set her to work drawing some pics for my bare office walls.

Say hello to the nice peoples, Fee!

The Wilds of the Workplace

Martie: Hey, Maudie, where did you go a minute ago?

Maudlynne: Martie, do you know what "schmutz" means?

Martie: No, why?

Maudlynne: Charlie said I had "schmutz," then took me into the kitchen and rubbed a wet paper towel on my face.

Martie: Oh, that just means you...

Maudelynne: AAAAIIIIIEEEEEE! What is that horrible noise?!?

Martie: Don't be scared, Maudie, it's just the phone.

Maudlynne: The what? AAAAAH, there it goes again!

Martie: Just answer it.

Maudlynne: Answer what? What does it want? I don't know what it wants me to do! It's getting angry!

Martie: Calm down, Maudie! Here, I'll show you.

Martie: Just say "Hello."

Maudlynne: I don't know about this, it looks hungry.....HELLO?!?

Martie: Don't scream, Maudie, just say "Hello."

Maudlynne: Oh. Okay. Hello? No, this isn't Charlie. It's Maudlynne. MAUDLYNNE! M-A-U-D....Well, I don't know who you are, either! Dean who? Dean Ofnursing. What kind of name is that?

Martie: Okay, let's just take a message before we get Charlie fired.

Maudlynne: I'm glad you knew what to do, Martie. This whole "office" place is really weird.

Martie: Weirder than home?

Maudlynne: Uhm. Well, no. Fewer cats, though.

Tee Gee Eye Eff.

Man, it's been a busy week at work. Then I get home, and *plotz*snore*snzzzzzz* -- but I did manage to get a pic of Martie with a beautiful bronzed woman in our 1st floor student lounge:

This is called "Caring." We also have "Angst" and "Solace" on opposite ends of that space. Maudlynne really wants a picture with "Angst" (go figure!) so I'm going to try to get that on Monday.

Tonight, though, we are all spending the evening with a heating pad, because the girls are cold and my back hurts. Have a good night!
