Day 22: Morning Drama

Behold, two of my office mates.  We shall call the first one Buddy, and the second one we shall call Loons.  The one in the front likes to randomly bite people, although he is a bit more selective these days.  The one in the back likes to pretend she is friendly, and then, without warning, her pupils will dilate and she'll scratch you.  For whatever reason, Loons likes me.  She likes to hang out on my desk, and she helps me make phone calls.  Buddy is reasonably friendly with me too. Especially if I'm eating my lunch at my desk.  Neither one has bitten or scratched me for a while.

Anyway, they don't get a long very well. This is what they like to do when I am on the phone with clients:

Loons likes to shriek like she is being killed whenever Buddy gets anywhere near her.  Or when he decides to look in her direction.  Buddy knows that it's easy to piss her off, so he's taken up doing so as his hobby.  Today, he decided to stare at her while she is was in the bathroom.  For a good 5 minutes, she growled at him. Finally, he got a little too close and the shrieking started. 

While it's mostly for show, and nobody really gets hurt in the process, it sounds like war is being raged.   This is glorious good fun when I'm on the phone with someone.   I love having to explain what the growling and howling is in the background. Really.

Freakin' cats!
