Flip Flops & Other Demons




"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes."

Henry Thoreau

The company I work for recently underwent a regime change, and as a result, we have a new dress code. No more denim, no more flip flops -- from here on out, it's strictly business. That left me in quite a pickle, as all of my respectable business attire is about 2 sizes smaller than what I'm currently wearing. So, after being told that we should consider ourselves verbally warned, and the first time we violated the new rule we'd be written up, I panicked.

Buying a new wardrobe requires funds that I just don't have. Never fear -- Aunt Judy came to my rescue. Good old Aunt Judy may not agree with anything I say, except that maybe strawberries and spinach make an awesome salad, but that didn't stop her from sharing her well-known generosity with me.

Thanks to her kindness, knack for bargain hunting, and impeccable taste, I now have everything I'll need to at least look like a respectable career woman for the foreseeable future.

Thank you, Judy!



In addition to our new dress code, many other changes have been made, and I will now be in a completely different department with far more stressful responsibilities. That's all well and good, provided I get the salary to match. We'll see.

In other news, I discovered a puzzling link to Nugatory Burble today on someone's blog. I don't know whether to be offended or flattered. The title of the link is "The most disfunctional  [sic], codependent relationship ever," and it's linked directly to my first entry in the satirical Enduring Marvlessness series. Ah well, at least someone's reading me, even if they do think I'm nuts. I am nuts, by the way. But that's ok, because I read something today from an Apple ad that made me proud to be crazy:

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Depending on the country..when a company changes a dress code, the employees are allowed a certain amount of time to make the transition and or the company provides the "uniform "necessary for professionalism....

Misty, the pictures have touched my heart about meat eating. I still haven't went to the website, because I'm going to a very nice restaurant for my b-day tonight, and I don't want to spoil it. BUT, after that, I vow to watch the video, and never to eat meat again. I'm even thinking about the strawberry salad thing and because i can't see behind this number thing in my way, I don't know what I have just deleted

I'm really glad that you're going to give it a shot, Angie. I promise that no matter how hard it is, you'll feel better about yourself for it. It's one thing that we can actually do in our daily lives that can impact the planet in such a major, positive way.

I'm anxious to see how you will react to the film. It was, for me, the most emotional experience I've ever had while watching a film.

You should stop by here and watch it. I'm afraid you won't get the full experience seeing it with dial-up.

At any rate, hope your birthday was a good one.
