Office Pets

When I first started my new job in May of last year there was a broom closet next to my desk. Not actually a broom closet. But most of the higher ups considered this office to be lacking in space and therefore it remained empty for some time. In about June I took an unplanned three week sebatical and when I returned to work the office had an occupant. At first I didn't even notice. I didn't know who it was and he didn't affect my job in any way. He was an easy going old guy who was quick with a smile and a pleasant compliment. To my dismay he retired. The office was again empty although it was often full of visitors cleaning out the files and claiming back the items that belonged in their department. There isn't much more that I hate during my work day then loud talkers so I was glad to have it be silent again.

That happiness was short lived. I have a new roommate. I long for the days of old, when I wondered why no one invaded that space. I wish that they would just take the office down. Although it does block me from unwanted traffic. My new roommate is an older woman who lives at work. Or atleast you would think that if you looked in her office. She has an insane amount of personal items in there. Knick knacks and the works. She is also a personal space invader. I soooo wish this was a game! An office supply stealer! She had the nerve to make security track down her stolen coat rack but had no problems about using my desk to store her extra crap when she moved in, but also took things from my desk on her way out. She can also be somewhat of a busybody! She just hits waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy to many of my pet peeves for this to work out. I'm not sure if loud talker is on that list but it should be. I spend my day at work with my headphones on and I can still hear her on the phone.


But the worst has to be the really creepy fake cat in its own bed. Now if that wasn't creepy enough..... she moves it around in her office weekly. I think this thing is planning an escape. Today the poor thing is the door stop. It stares at me with its fake eyes and cries for me to release it from its stuffed hell. I can't bare to look at it for too long. I once tried to free a vacuum from a friend's neighbor at midnight. I felt so bad for the poor thing. But this cat.... I want nothing to do with it. However, it has given me an idea.

I need a creepy office pet that I can move around my desk. But I want it to be small enough that you would have to look pretty hard to find it. So if you know of anyting like this please, please please let me know!!!! I need something to keep me entertained at work!
