Office talk today: Does Aimee qualify as a dwarf?

-
I love my job.
I love my office.
I love the people I work with.

There is always something funny going on. Today someone mentioned that there is a little people convention taking place in Seattle. When I was leaving for lunch, one co-worker said "oh Aimee is heading to the convention right now!" I replied with a simple "ha ha very funny Matt" while i heard various laughter.

By the time I got back from lunch my co-workers wanted to measure me.
I am officially 4 feet 11.75 inches but my boss thought I was 4 feet 8inches which would qualigy me as a dwarf. My cube neighbor Ken is doing research because he thinks that if I end up being under the 4 feet 10inch requirement that I probably get cool benefits.

This was the topic at work. Too funny! I don't mind because I don't mind being short. I can laugh at myself and the fact I can't reach the office supplies.

Here is the local news article about the convention.

I have been super busy but all is good. I need up update my blog but in the meantime, here is a little video of my favorite neighborhood coffee shop.

I love the environment and the super nice staff. On the night I had to study for my motorcycle license, after spending the hot summer day learning how to ride in an unshaded parking lot, Jesse, one of the owners gifted me a piece of coconut cake saying I needed "brain food" since he knew I was exhausted. See, now that's a small business I want to support.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...
