Sundry thoughts…
… but they occurred to me at work, so they deserve to be featured on this blog.
-I wore mismatched socks today, along with pants that are on the slightly-too-short-for-cold-weather side… you know, the kind of pants that you can pull off in the summer, paired with cute ballet flats… and NOT with the low-cut sneakers I quickly threw on this morning, which exposed said mismatched socks. In the professional appearance category, how much of a point deduction do you think the mismatched socks/sorta too short pants/low-cut sneakers combo got me? I’d say I suffered a pretty big point deduction. Pretty big. I should also mention that my right sock, in perfect congruence with my sorta too short pants, was a little too small and kept rolling down my heel… exposing said heel now and then during my stride.
-I went to the bathroom 9 times today. 9. Yup. (You’ll have to read a previous blog post of mine to get the full back story on my “bathroom breaks”.)
-I literally said a prayer this morning asking God to prevent me from experiencing the nauseating dizziness that I had to endure during the first two days of the “three days of darkness”. My prayer was semi-answered: I only experienced minimal, fleeting diziness today. I am grateful.
-I must be the worst “new girl” ever: it’s only week 3 for me at the new job and already I left an hour and 45 minutes earlier than I was supposed to. TWICE. That’s a record… even for me.
-On my way to the car after my work day was finally and mercifully over, I heard someone’s footsteps frantically quickening behind me in the dark parking lot… I thought the owner of the ominous footsteps was going to stab me. Of course, she was only hurrying to her car to get the hell out of there. Duh. Clearly, I am a wussy.
