I'm Going Slightly Mad

Mr Pigalina has me a bit paranoid.  For about 3 months now he has been mentioning that I have been forgeting things (how to format a disk, minor details about his work and I forget what else).  I don't forget interesting things though so maybe if things around me weren't so mundane I would be more inclined to commit them to memory.  The final straw that has cemented in his mind that I am losing the plot was "The Heater Incident."  We came home earlier this week (I have actually forgotten which day) and discovered that the bathroom heater had been on all day.
Of course I was accused of forgeting to turn it off.  However this is not the case as I distinctly remember pulling the string to turn it off.  The string though is very temperamental and sometimes it does not do as you require.  This time I mustn't have pulled it hard enough and therefore the heater remained on.  You could have burnt the house down I was scolded.  (Let us not fail to mention that I am 90% positive that Mr Pigalina entered the bathroom AFTER I had left, yet failed to notice that the heater was still on and it is ME that is apparently a bit mental).
At least the bathroom dried out for once.
Now to use this to my advantage to get lots of bed rest...

Oh Be-have

Seems I will have to be on my guard whenever I leave the house.  I have been spotted twice in one week.  No, it is not fans of my oh-so exciting and earth-shattering blog.  It is clients from work.  I was seen having a hot chocolate with friends last weekend by someone who works at the cafe, which they informed me of when they came into work the other day.  Today when Mr Pigalina pulled up at an intersection I could see a lady at the crossing intently peering into the car as she tried to work out how she knew me.  I knew her and tried my hardest to look straight ahead so as not to catch her eye.  
We were told at our recent meeting about data integrity and client confidentiality that we are supposed to behave well at all times.  If we are up to no good such as blowing a whistle dressed in fluoro clothes at a rave whilst "tripping out on dirty dog" or perhaps something harder, someone could identify us as employees of the Ministry and that could bring them into disrepute.  Do they really expect thousands of people to behave everytime they go out?  Even at birthdays and other such causes for merriment?  And would people really dob someone in for having a few too many at the pub?  Probably yes actually.  Gracious, I shall have to watch myself, we don't want a "Pigalina caught having fun scandal" now do we?  That will mean I will have to be careful and maybe cut back on doing things such as this (never!):

Pigalina Love SPG

SPG (Special Patrol Group named after the hamster in The Young Ones) is my fabulous white rat. About a month ago Mr Pigalina came to me with a sad face and said "I don't want to upset you but SPG has a lump." The poor girl certainly did have a lump, in her front left armpit, if we left it too long she would hardly be able to put her leg down!
Most people would say it was time to get rid of SPG, that with such a lump you may as well put her to sleep. Actually, most people think that I should not have rats at all. "Uuuurrrgh their tails are all yucky" (They are actually soft and hairy), "They smell" (Only if you don't clean them out) etc etc. We took SPG to the vet and they said that we could have her operated on. After some deliberation we decided that SPG deserved to have her lump removed. What did it matter that she probably only has one year of life left and that the operation would cost 8 times as much as she cost to buy? She is my furry friend and therefore I couldn't bear to see her go just yet.
After work on the day of her operation I headed to the vets office expecting to pick up a box containing a groggy little rat with a gruesome wound on her side. Imagine my suprise, and delight when I opened the box and saw not just a perky and happy SPG but one wearing a very cute little bandage:

How could anyone not like that little furry creature? SPG is thriving and I am glad she had her wee op as it means she can still walk! Hopefully she won't get anymore lumps. Yes I am quite the soft touch when it comes to my animals. Pigalina love SPG.
