dear friendly office admin: I am aware that yes, when I saw you three hours ago on my way to pee and assemble chambers downstairs, I lied and said Matilda was not with me rather than explain that she is expected to lie quietly in my office until I come back.

I am also aware that coming to show me YOUR small dog as I was packing up and getting ready to leave was probably intended to be a friendly gesture. it is just that after three hours contorting myself in a hot stuffy basement room to run wires and cut zip ties at improbable angles, I was not especially interested in anyone else's animals. I was going to retrieve my damn dog and gear, slink home, and vegetate quietly in a corner for a while.

and of course Matilda decided to cosplay a rabid badger because this is how she handles soliciting play. because she is a small monster. (no, really. it is bizarre. it confuses the hell out of me. but it does seem to be a desire to initiate play.) and now I feel like the weird disruptive one. I don't even know what that lady does.

#matilda #n.b. while tilda is a service prospect #which is a major reason she usually comes to work with me #to practice being quiet and bored by office environments #I have not really bothered to formally frame that because I do not really want to deal with Being an Educator #and! this is also! my opinion of pet dogs!#if she was just coming to work because she is a busy goblin and CM deserves to be able to sleep after a night shift #I still would not be especially interested in interacting with other people's dogs #genuinely I am at work TO WORK #and one of the ways I handle the privilege of being allowed to bring the puppy with me to work #is that I am careful to try and minimize ANY disruption to my working environment #or for that matter anyone else's #and I am tired and there is CONVERSATION outside my office #and I just don't want to bother #I was going to sketch out the basic tasks I'm beginning to lay groundwork for #largely related to executive function and timekeeping #but ugh too tired flat aggravated
