I'm on the phone with my teammates and, in a lighter moment, we're talking about New Year's resolutions...
Jo: I've resolved that I'm going to measure out a good 4 mile walk for myself and get back to it...the dog and I both need it and I haven't been getting my daily walk since I moved to Florida.
co-worker: But aren't there alligators where you are now?
Jo: Well, there probably are some in the canals, but I haven't seen one yet.
co-worker: How big is your dog? Could he outrun an alligator? Or could you pick him up and run if you saw one?
Jo: He's a mini-dachshund...if we see an alligator I'll be grabbing him and taking up running like *** (another co-worker and his resolution)
Team laughs (probably at the image of me running
)
co-worker: OMG Jo...do you realize you're going to be walking 4 miles a day with
bait?!?!?!?
