It's Not All Bad News...

So yesterday was a pretty tough day for me, overall. I had a tough time recovering from the morning's trauma, especially since I a) had to retell the story over and over, and b) I had to endure teasing and jokes and youtube clips I still haven't watched. Oh, and I had to see clients too. And I was sleepy from xanny I took.

After I was finished with a session, I was at my computer when K-Dog told me there was a gift for me outside my door. Huh?? When I asked about it (who, what, when, where, why), he told me just to open it and see. I honestly thought it would be something squirrel-related- a stuffed toy perhaps- from one of my office tormentors.

But no! It was my very own Pam Beesly bobble-head doll!!! From The Office!! Gasp!


Remember that talk I gave a while back? Well I had received a Dunder Mifflin themed thank you note (with a picture of Dwight inside) from the students who organized the event. It was a lovely note that made my day. They mentioned something about a gift being on its way, but I didn't think too much of it.

Well today, the gift arrived! And what an awesome surprise/pick-me-up/thank you.


K-Dog got a Michael Scott bobble-head doll, which was pretty cool also. Of course Michael is holding his "World's Best Boss" coffee mug. Love it!
