Speaking of Yorkshire Terriers, I need to pop in the elevator and grab one. It's about -15F (-26C) and his mom is running late. So I need to put on shoes and walk him.
Luckily, the little dog really hates the cold, so he'll be pretty quick :)
I got my business cards today! They look great.
I was so pleased to have them that I called the Yorkie's owner because I want to give her the first one out of the pack. Next thing you know I was volunteering to walk her dog. :(
It's a bit unusual to be this cold this early in the season. I'm happy to report that my car doesn't seem to mind it.
The news only puts the temperature at 0F, but there is a thermometer just outside the door. That's a weird thing about Anchorage, the temperature varies considerably 1 mile to the next.
I know people can be afraid of dogs. I have a friend (a grown man) who would hide behind me if a dog came near us. But I find it hard to relate to other people's phobias.
Keep an eye out for the latest BBC nature series The Hunt
it is incredible
the cinematography alone is outstanding, but factor in what they actually capture (in many cases for the first time) coupled with the music and it is really a tour de force
@FaheemMitha risking that bite has been a career for many years. If you have been bitten as many times as me, that would indicate that you need never become a dog trainer or veterinary technician.
I've got the movie playing again in a little window. It would piss me off too to call a 27 year old kid "Father". I mean if I would call anyone but my father that.
@Jolenealaska Better than I expected. Found out a lot of stuff and actually learned that my manager was looking out for me by not giving me my district yet. She is preventing another manager from dumping a crapload of problems on me. She caught it and is looking out for me. Something I haven't seen often in my career.
@ElendilTheTall Well, of course. I get to see him first. :)
Gotta run. Have to put gas in the car so I can get a receipt. Stupid as I have only driven 8 miles and it will be 8 back to the airport. But if you don't give them a receipt they charge you for a full tank @ 9.89/gal.
I find that if I wallow a bit in self pity, pretty soon a self-preserving effect kicks in. Like "ok, you are done now, find something useful to do". Not always, but often.
