Theres so much going on in my life right now: I just started a new job, i just started a new year as an RA, i broke up with the man i thought i was going to marry. I am in the middle of planning two events for my building (RA stuff). I am really evaluating what makes me happy and what i need in my life. There is a wealth of drama to write about, but instead i am going to share a little story about my first day of work, and contrary to habit i promise to keep it short.
On my first day of work i decided to go buiness fashionable. I wore a pair of tan culots and my tall brown western boots, a black shirt and my black blazer wtih tan pinstripes. sharp. i come in feeling all confident in a room of people wearing chinos. I love that feeling when you are dressed noticibly well, but not overdressed. Sorry, i get vain sometimes. not often. Back to the point
SO my bos comes tot he gate to let me in (i dont have a security badge because its my first day) and we have to walk over to the building where my lab is. And, like the graceful genius i am, i trip down the stairs and almost take him with me. I stabilize myself and try to play it off all coy lik e"i'm ok". He looks at me and goes "no, i dont think you are". Before i get offended i realize the heel had completely snapped off my boot. MY 3" heel was laying on the steps next to him.
I spent the rest of the day hobbling around like an idiot. and whats worse is that the way i was walking so strained one leg that it is sore today and i am still limping, this time with matching shoes.

I completely understand the shoe thing. I was waiting to go to a formal with a fraternity and talking to Jen Ragen when suddenly I leaned on one foot and the heel snapped right off. So I run with her (barefoot) to her room and borrow a pair of shoes that ended up matching better anyway. It was really embarassing though. Plus, the bus was waiting for us. :: hugs :: We should have a popcorn (or some other snack)-filled night of anime!
DOH forgot to sign my name to that. ~Krissie
I'm so glad I pulled up your blog, I needed a good laugh. LMAO. thats messed up, your shoes fell apart and in the morning at that, couldn't they have waited until quitting time to break!!!
I'm really sorry to hear about your breakup (I have been secretly planning on catching your bouquet...guess its not a secret no more (Pam slaps herself on forehead), but I believe you prolly got real good turn-around time (not J-Lo turnaround time, but alot better than mine.)
That sucks. I remember when you two were first together and I'll admit I was a skeptic if you were the right fit for each other. But the more I saw how content and comfortable you were I was glad it had worked out for you. Oh well.... maybe now that your free, some of us on the sideline can get a chance. :hehe:
haha... this could be applied to both situations. One about the relationship, one about your shoes from another shoe's perspective. Wow, I need a life...
