puppy day

 and there was another event of note at work. it was puppy day. i wanted to stay caught up on work but i got to the venue for 'puppy day' about midway through the time allotment of ninety minutes. when i got there i said 'what are you doing here?' to a dude i recognized from the comedy circuit. found out the dude worked for the animal rescue organization that brought in the puppies. i held one of them and a lady said it was cute so i got a picture sent via text message. i was told the puppy had fallen asleep in my arms. the tricky thing was finding the right set of elevators. i went to the main floor and the first one i tried wasn't it. looks like those just went to the basement. i went to the skyway level and tried another set, and that got me where i wanted to go. first time in the south tower for me. the dude was wearing a Mets baseball hat and i said i recall us doing a Timberwolves game as part of a job fair many years ago. i called that 'my time in the wilderness' as i like working at the bank. i was there for about twenty minutes and i figured that was long enough as i had more work to do. the dude did get a pic of us on his camera phone and i am wondering if that will be posted on 'the book'. i also heard about a show he's doing this summer at a micro-brewery. but as we all know, just being in the crowd isn't good enough for me. i would want stage time if i go there. vacation replacement was in the shop near the end of the day. i said i hadn't done the big survey yet about my role but i knew we have two days left to complete it. i was told it didn't take long, just under thirty minutes. it means trying to set up a block of time to get it done, probably in the morning, even if it means delaying the check printing a little. looks like i now have plenty of things lined up for next week on a day off for an appointment. there is also picking up the gift card from the credit union, an oil change for the car, and lunch at the mall. during my walks i found 25 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the ladies went shopping while the dudes waited for them and ended up crying. amy got to do basket weaving as well. it was followed by the one where sheldon has dinner with the dudes, but also with penny, after being chased by a dog.
