stressed out? try puppies...

As I slowly descend into a bout of deep depression, paranoia, pessimism, and (hopefully not) uncontrollable urges to beat people on account of all the job-market-related stress I'm under, I decided I needed to not work for more than 24 hours. I got up and went to the gym as usual (and while working out fantasized about choking out the douchebag "man" who wears a fully matching outfit - including shoes - and hair gel...and cologne!) and had a quick lunch. That did nothing to relieve stress. I had to pull out the big guns. And that means....
puppy swap meetBelieve it or not, such a thing exists at the Petland in Kahala every Sunday afternoon. You basically have free reign to play with the puppies (except for the little teacup ones)...all you gotta do is wash your hands first. It amazed me how much dogs cost: there were some fugly chihuahua puppies for $1300 each!!! The husky/malamut is only $650. That dog better be awesome for $650 (and I don't doubt it is). My favorite was this little teacup dog that literally was so tired it passed out from a standing position face down in its water dish. The breeder had to rescue it from drowning. Hilarious. If defusing tension with a bunch of puppies doesn't make you feel better, than you're pure evil and deserve to die (there I said it). Unfortunately, the effect can wear off pretty quickly once you leave them. Clearly, I need a dog (after I get a job, that is).
