a few chivalrous experiences

chivalry is alive, although
he is blatantly looking
straight down her shorts.
nice try buddy.
It surprises the hell out of me every time it happens, but the men in this building actually have elevator manners.  It is crazy.  I thought all that kind of stuff was long gone, done and over with - not so much!  It has been happening on both the ground level AND on my floor.  There are nice guys everywhere!  And please trust that isn’t because I have been extraordinarily dressed up and put together as of lately.  It has actually been the complete opposite.  This Spring’s time change hit me hard.  I have been so exhausted in the morning.  I literally leave myself 25 minutes to get ready and I realize that it shows.  I know I am not fooling anyone - trust that I am aware.  Next week I will try harder.  It‘s just so hard going from working in a barn (literally) where Carhartts are acceptable to wear to work straight into New York City dress-up.  Even though it has been over two years, I am still not used to it.  Dressing up is fun on occasion, but this every day nonsense is for the birds.  I will always be a Carhartt girl at heart.  Actually, I thought Dickies brand slacks fit my body a touch better than Carhartts...

  1. I did two years of trying to "dress up" after leaving the barn... It stunk and I ended up wearing nearly the same outfit in different colors every day over and over and over. Now I'm in the perfect mix... Some days in Carhartt's and fleece (shorts and t-shirt in summer) and some days dressing up. Of course... I now just dress... Upscale thrift shop. :-)

  2. Apparently our office used to be a "mostly jeans, dress up when someone was expecting a visitor", but our President & CEO recently decided on a more dressed up work environment. We DO have Casual Fridays, which are the lights at the end of my work week tunnel.
