Last night the pet sitting meeting was all about personal safety. I left that meeting quite paranoid. The cop who was talking to us was really cool and said that he's not telling us what to do, just telling us what can happen when we do what we want to do.

He had some great advice though.

One girl in the group was thinking the same as me - I have 2 dogs who would scare off any intruder, right? The officer said that it's certainly a deterrent, but not a guarantee. Interesting. But I never worry when I am home with them. He also said not to just yell at the dog to shut up when they bark at a window or door (I am an offender on this) and instead to get up and look no matter how often your dog barks. I would certainly get my exercise! haha

He also recommended a personal safety class. I learned that at the end of the class you get to beat up a police officer (they come at you while you aren't ready for them to see how you'll react) so just think of the satisfaction for all those parking tickets.... hehe No but really, it was a great class and it gave me LOTS to think about.

I always hate going to those pet sitting meetings. Everyone seems to know everyone and I somehow ALWAYS end up sitting in between people who are good friends so I kinda just sit there and eavesdrop and hope I can jump in the conversation. Social awkwardness aside, I always learn alot. :0)

Tonight is the bar with my friend. I am excited. I hope I don't pull an R and stay out too late though! Luckily, I can't get caught even if I do cuz R hasta work overnight on a server at work. Poor dude!

I can't wait for the weekend. I don't know if I mentioned that. Happy Thursday everyone!
