You’re starting to grumble about your 5-step commute from the bed to your computer. The snooze button is soooo much closer…
The car stays parked in your garage for days at a time and somehow you continue to grow without sunlight.
You can vacation as often as you want now. Chained to your computer and phone, yeah, but hey: the ocean looks beautiful from here and yes honey, I’ll join you out there in a moment!
Working in the buff is actually an option! Just remember to switch your Skype chat default to “Answer with NO Video!”
Work begins stalking you around the house, skulking and whining like an unloved pup. Work is home is office is everywhere – ACK! I’m sure there’s a zen proverb around here somewhere…
You finally remove all the fart jokes and Mafia Wars from your Facebook Profile because your playground just became your chief marketing and advertising venue.
Laptop parties with your freelance buddies are your brilliant attempt at “having a life” and still getting things done.
You catch yourself bouncing ideas off of your apathetic cat and your chatterbox four-year old.
You start playing pranks on your unsuspecting canine because you miss the office shenanigans.
You finally get paid for knowing more than the person who hired you.
Strangling yourself with the laptop cord is a popular and approved reaction to client emails and phone calls.
Friends pimp you out for favors: “Oh yeah, I have a friend that can do that for you. I’m sure he’ll do it for super cheap. In fact, we’re good friends, I bet he’ll do it for free!”
You can justify anything to one client by simply referencing a vague “other client.” {Yes of course I’d love to have a 5am meeting for your East Coast team! Unfortunately, I’ve already booked that slot with my Australian client.}
Social sites your old boss banned aren’t even fun to visit now because they’re actually on your Client Acquisition To Do list.
You talk excitedly about the latest Wordpress plugin or Photoshop brush you just downloaded… and the barista was only asking for your coffee order. {“It’s just so lonely working from home, you see. Nice to have someone to talk to is all…”}
You’re actually nodding and laughing right now, filled with that warm and fuzzy feeling that “yes, I still fit in somewhere.”
They are not as common of a bread as Chihuahua's and they look similar, so I always have gotten; "oh what cute Chihuahuas" from everyone on the street.
Chihuahuas are cute dogs so I don't mind really. Internally I have always felt I could own one. I think the main reason being that even though I love little dogs, (circumstance, apartment living) Chihuahuas have always seemed to me to be alot of all bark/no bite. I'm obviously generalizing here BUT,....well, u know what I mean. Min-Pin's on the other hand tend to be oblivious to there size. There are a lot of barking min-pins but they bark (pardon me while I giggle) to warm you there coming....lol
Whether they can even make a dent in their opponent, is not of their concern. The picture on the right was my oldest lovingly playing with one of her pups, a couple years ago. They are also not the best lap dogs till they get older cause, untill age gets to them they are more consumed by being hyper, brave and well -unstoppable!
Chihuahuas generally are not thought of as unstoppable, I think they look cute in a purse sure, but not really unstoppable?
≈Every now and then life brings you to a story they shows you beauty in the circle of life and also how small minded opinions and; cliche's we hold can be. Mancha's's story was just that for me.
I just want 2 say that I have gotten close to a couple of pitbulls and they also can be sweet dogs. I think sometimes they get a bad rap, at times deserved, other times not. I didn't want 2 make any animal the antagonist in this post. Just recognize a little dog with a big heart!
