Off to a bad start this week

It's only Monday and the week is already off to a bad start. I had a great weekend (for the most part) and was pumped up and ready to tackle my week. I got to work and was bashing through the calls when somthing set off a spark with a co-worker. My co-worker never seems to respect people, and looks at the IT professionals that he places as ways to make money. It bothers me that he fails to respect others on even the most basic of levels (being a card carrying, gun toting republican does not help either). We got into a spat about answering phone calls and it ended up escalating from a comment, to an email, to a thread of emails with the VP's, on to a full blown meeting in the office. We both ended up compromising, but it still left a really sour taste in my mouth and I can't quite seem to focus on work now.

Aside from that the last couple of days have been really fun. On Friday night I did not do to much. I had a couple of friends over and we ended up spending most of the evening watching movies and playing with Skype. Saturday was a big day for everyone - Skype had his second veterinary visit and got a clean bill of health. The scale at the vet's confirmed my suspicions that he has more than doubled in size in the last month (I can't believe it's already been a month!). After the vet we walked over to Tres place so that Skype could play with Sophie and romp around in the back yard. On the way back to my car (parked at the vet's) we stopped by Michael's so that Skype could meet Pixel and Abbey, the two dogs living there.

In the evening Scot came over so I could take him out for his birthday dinner. He's grown into an elderly and sedate 27 year old and boy are we proud of him. Next thing you know he will achieve the title of "head slumlord" and start engaging in gang warfare with other slumlords in the Seattle area. After a nice dinner at Charlie's we chilled out at my place and watched Boiler Room for a good laugh.

Sunday was a completely lazy day for me. Skype was a little out of it - the vaccination he got on Saturday made him feel a little under the weather. We spent most of the day on the couch watching movies. It was nice to relax and just spend a day bonding with the pup. This week I have a couple of video games on the way and I'm looking forward to more relaxation with Skype and conquering the world!
