Watch Thou for the White People
This is one lucky kitty. Note the wacky fur and stretched out demeanor. He's doing better. This morning as I lay stretched out across my bed before work, he started 'marking' my face and head by rubbing against them. It was entirely too cute.
Today was also a day of much silliness around work. Or rather, one particularly silly moment that left me gasping for breath with tears threatening to run down my face. One of the other receptionists, Linda, was on the phone at the desk closest to mine, giving directions to our office to someone who had apparently gone past it. I heard her say, "Do you remember when you passed the white people by the side of the road? Go back there and turn left." I blinked, then got the giggles. It took Linda a moment to realize what she'd said. Then she started giggling, while still trying to give directions. Eventually, the guy she was giving directions to started laughing as well.
You see, one of the landmarks we use for people coming to our office is this rather bizarre set of statues that sit right before the turn onto our road:
Linda apparently couldn't remember the word 'statues', and so told the man to look for the group of white people. So, if you're ever coming to see me at work, look out for the white people.
