I got new carpeting installed in my apartment on Friday. It was a huge headache, but WAY worth it! It is so much nicer now. It makes a huge difference in the quality of the apartment.
The carpet layer guy thought it was so funny that I work in research and I have a pet guinea pig. He was just laughing and laughing abot that. Then he told his nephew about it, and the nephew thought it was hilarious as well.
My Nala is not a research rat. She’s my friend, and she will not be sacrificed for the sake of science. The other thing I don’t get is that whenever I show Nala to anyone who comes over, they always say… “she’s so big!” I don’t think she’s that big. She seems normal sized for a guinea pig. I think people are just expecting the guinea pig to look like a mouse or a gerbil. It’s not like she can get out of her cage and escape or anything. She’s just cute and chatty and cuddly and fun.
I guess technically I had the guinea pig before I had the research job.
She’s hateful to me.

That is pretty funny, I’ll have to agree with the carpet installer and his cousin!
