First day on the job... hope nobody minds that all I've done is eat, sleep, and mess my diaper.  The boss lady seems nice enough, even though I peed on her once or twice... Food here is good, but not much variety on the menu.  Can't beat the service, that is for sure.  Breakfast, Elevensies, Lunch, Snack, Dinner and midnight snack are all delivered right to my mouth.  It is great!  
  Well, this is me.  Cute mug, eh?  Somebody told me the other day that all babies look like little old men, but think that little old men look like newborn babies - don't argue or I'll start crying (a little trick I've already picked up)
This is my co-worker, Marihana.  Having only been here in Oklahoma for a day, I'm not up to date on all the sexual harassment laws, but I'm sure that she is crossing some lines.  
  Apparently, being new here is something special, as everyone wanted to have their picture taken with me.  Go figure.  Don't know if it is standard procedure, my dashing good looks or my charm.  Anyway, I was patient and took pictures with anyone who was willing.
All that posing really takes it out of you.  Some sneaky camera person snuck this picture while I was catching some Z's.  I've heard lots of people complain about the weather here, but I think they are crazy.  I'm bundled up here because SOMEbody put the thermostat on 68°.  Where I came from, the temperature was always a balmy 98.6°.  Anyhow, you can't blame me for bundling up.  
  This is Dad.  Everyone here says that he is the big boss, but from what I've observed, even he takes orders from the Mommy lady.  I don't know if he does it out of loyalty, or if she knows something about him that she's holding over him.  At any rate, it seems that he'll do just about anything for her. 
Now, I don't want you to get the wrong impression about me and think I sleep all the time... I only sleep 75% of the time.  Really, that is pretty good compared to cats, who sleep 90% of the time.  Besides, it really is in my job description.  Don't tell anyone I still sleep with a pacifier.  I'd be so mortified, I'd cry.... wait.. that is part of my job, too!  
 

Here's that Marihana chick again.  Now, I'll admit that she is kind of cute, but come on... let's talk about personal space and set some limits here. On the other hand, I do kind of like it when she kisses me.  But if you tell her that, I swear I'll deny it.

I'm not sleeping here.  Really.  I'm posing.  Marihana got hold of the company camera and was trying to snap some shots of me, so I quickly assumed this pose.  It is my quiet, contemplative side.  Besides, I thought that that Allison girl might stop back by.  You never know.  
  I don't know if this is a good sign or a bad one, but after only one day on the job, I got transferred to the home office.  I've heard that it is not quite as hectic.  We'll see about that.  Well, maybe I can share some more news with you all later.  Thanks for your attention.  More later - Han
