I like my co-workers.

One of our female developers was looking for my boss when he was at lunch, so I told her I'd let him know when he got back. He walks in and I say, "P was looking for you."

Then I said, "I was going to say that P wanted you, but I didn't want to give you the wrong impression." (I know, bad, old joke, but it still gets a laugh)

So he laughs, and says, "I'm so glad they hired you. This place would be so dull and boring without you," ending with, "the excitement that you provide is unequaled."

So I just want you to know, that we want you to take good care of garnigal when you have her in your country. Or else.

I figure since her brother is younger, someone has to be over-protective.

No worries. She's in good hands! Besides, with her skills, she could kick my bootie if she wanted to :o)

Damn I wish my email had been up earlier so I could have seen this. I totally cracked up.

My friends are so over protective. Hee.

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

So I noticed!

whatawookie and saratinia were the first people (besides D) that I told about the trip. You should have seen the looks on their faces as I described the trip.

They are just the tiniest bit paranoid. But, whatawookie is a mom - her protective instinct is very high. And saratinia is a very good auntie to whatawookie's kids - and, apparently, me.

My Mom and my aunts's weren't that worried about it when I told them!

I'll get the worried looks closer to the date I'm actually leaving.

I got the strangest looks when I told them I'm spending that much time in a car with someone I've never met. That entire arching an brow thing.

"How do you know you'll get along?"

How do I know we won't!

Exactly! I mean, at this point, I talk to you more than I do my own family. Granted it's in writing rather than in person or on the phone, but still!

Now that is funny. I'm sure you put the fear of God in mich.

And my brother keeps introducing me to his friends as his little sister since I'm so short, so I guess he's a little protective. Naturally, I counter with a baby brother crack.

I hate being short.
