my job and what to wear?
May. 31st, 2005 09:11 pmSometimes my job is particularly cool.
Tomorrow I'm off to cross one of my life ambitions off the list, and it's all because of my job.
I have always wanted to see the inside of one of the most exclusive clubs in Melbourne and tomorrow, I'm off on a site visit!
But what am I going to wear? Today, I finally put both of my pairs of trousers and my suit jacket in for drycleaning. I only have one other pair of work pants and they're a bit tatty (and a bit tight) and the tops I have to go with them aren't great either. They work when I'm in the office, but I prefer better when I know I'm off to see clients. I also have 2 skirts - but what if I have to climb into the roof space?
When I thought about this at the tram stop today, it occured to me that perhaps it's a good thing I only have a good skirt to wear. In my "delicate" condition, maybe I shouldn't be climbing anywhere. If I wear a skirt, I can just blame the skirt, instead of having to explain to this prospective client (a complete stranger) that I'm pregnant and therefore currently incapable of doing my job. OTOH, I could just wear the skirt, and tell them that my employer has a strict OH and S policy that means I can't climb anywhere.
And another thing, in doing a search for the club in question, I found out that you can book rooms and stay there! Apparently, it's cheaper than The Windsor, another place on my list.
AND
I would like to apologise publicly for my current evil flatulence, especially if you were the person in the tram sitting behind me as I got off.
Happy now
