Oh, we're plenty nerdy all day too! My friends (and husband) all refer to me as "The Supergeek" because my head is full of all kinds of medical stuff and history (I have a BA in history I don't really use much of anymore, but I'm really fun at parties. lol). Accounting is on the other side of claims so they get to hear us be nerds all day and we get to hear them fuss at the accounting systems, so it's a nice trade off. :-)
I have a young and uber silly bulldog and an older German Shepherd these days that both hang in the office. We also have a sheltie, a terrier mix, and a Cavie that come in too. No one ever knows who'll be there... I actually like it that way.
I'm also allergic to everything with fur or feathers. I found this out in tech school and went straight to an allergist who actually sympathized with me. He's never once told me to get rid of my cat or the dogs, maybe because I told him if I had to give up seafood or my pets I'd just have to die. We just found the right combo of non-dangerous meds and did the injections for years. I feel for your poor coworker, she has no idea the fun she's missing without a dog. |
