I’m wearing a dress today to work. If you were using the reaction of the laides at work as a gauge for how shocking that is, the reading would be OFF THE FREAKING CHARTS. It’s 11:40 right now, and the comments about my dress are still coming in about every 15 minutes. Some observations can me made here:
1.) Though it is nice to be noticed, there is a limit to how much “notice” I find comfortable.
2.) Being 30 years younger than everyone I work with is B-I-Z-A-R-R-E.
and 3.) The air conditioner in this building works really, really well.
Yeah. Think I’m going to stick with the pants from now on. But it’s been a nice experiment. I guess I’m just not as comfortable with my knees as I used to be. I might be more comfortable if my legs were tan, but when choosing between ‘tan with skin cancer’ or ‘pale’ I go ‘pale’ every time, EASY CHOICE. Live long, wear pants. Not a bad slogan.
In good, and very much work-related news, a girl my age got a job at the same school as me. (Not in my very department, but three buildings down.) Not only did she get a job here, but she also got a house that’s in my neighborhood, and all of the sudden I have a buddy. A girl buddy that lives in my neighborhood and likes dogs and walking and bad TV. How on Earth did this happen? She and I are planning to carpool to the office. We’re going to be green for ALL FOUR MILES round trip. Welcome, Jennifer, to the goodness that is Never Being In Rushhour Traffic.
yeah, i like to wear skirts from time to time, but my legs are just constantly cold when i do. doesn’t seem worth the trouble.
alas, my friend, it seems that we’ll just have to be neighbors, not lunch friends and carpool pals.
long story.
but neighbors is better than nothing, and thank you for the kind shout out, pal.
I have just always lived in dresses. I don’t really notice being more cold. It’s funny how we are all conditioned to different things. I like dresses better now because I feel like I have to fight pants all day (too tight, falling off) and a dress just hangs there and leaves me alone. I am constantly the only young person in an office though, it makes me feel out of the loop. They all have things in common.
