A funny thing happened at work yesterday.
This girl, I'll call her Jane Doe, just became a Grandma for the 2nd time. She had this whole album of pictures of the baby being born, etc etc etc and she literally went from desk to desk showing everyone.
She burst into my office and proceeded to assume that I wanted to see these pictures. I caved, and went goo-goo-ga-ga and said all the right things, all the while trying not to throw up at the sight of a newborn baby fresh out of the oven and not cleaned up yet...Yuck!!
The last picture was of the family dog. I went nuts over this little cutie-pie and at the end of the conversation she made a comment that I liked the dog better than the kid. 
(which was true, by the way). She went off in a bit of a huff.....
One more black mark on my performance appraisal.....

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
