Me too but at least you wont have to wear one after the head office types are gone - wearing a tie is a required work day pain in the neck for me.

 

What idiot came up with the tie, I hate bloody ties

 

I have long suspected that the tie was invented by doctors or chiropracters as a means to generate business. Either that or some sadistic employer who wanted his employees to be as uncomfortable as possible.

 

Please! How on earth can a tie do any damage to someone to the extent that they need a doctor or chiropracter?! If that is the case, you are doing it up far too tightly..............

 

And that's bad. It can't be too tight. In fact, it should be a little loose. Elegance needs a little bit of fresh air.

 

O.K. I concede that needing to see a doctor or chiropracter is a bit of an overstatement. Also, the blame should be shared between the tie and the collared shirt.

I normally wear a shirt one neck size too large (and boy is it annoying having to argue with the clerks to get them to sell me the one size too large shirt), unbutton the top button whenever I can get away with it and wear my tie so loose that my boss complains about it from time to time and my neck is still stiff by the end of the work day. I was in pure agony by quitting time when I wore the "proper" shirt size, kept it fully buttoned all of the time, and left my tie at the degree of tightness approved by the boss.

When I work a full day doing the exact same things on Saturdays/Sundays (we are allowed to dress casually on the week-end, thank God) during tax season I have no such stiffness. Ergo I feel safe in laying blame upon the collared shirt and tie.

 

Woohoo!

After only four lessons - Frosty and I have both got our Grade One in Fencing. It usually takes about six lessons apprently, so we're doing pretty good

But the boot of our car is broken! I cannot get it open so my school uniform and my schoolbag and computer are trapped in the back along with my mothers college work. Doomed!

 

Yay!! I requested "Assassin's Apprentice" by Robin Hobb from the library on 1 June (after much recommendation from a lot of you) and now it has finally turned up so I can read it. At long last.

Maybe this post should have been in Booktalk. Oh well, it's pretty random anyway.

Bad luck, 8people!

 

Harbourboy, you're in for a treat. I really enjoyed that book, and I'm about 2/3 of the way through the second.

JSBB, get out of public practice! My standard attire - Dockers (or similar), "business casual" shirt, semi-dress shoes. Comfy.

 

I still don't see what the big deal is with a shirt and tie. You guys need to get some clothes that fit. If they fit properly, they shouldn't be uncomfortable at all.

 

I think the original purpose of the tie may have been to absorb moisture. IIRC, it was used by Haitian military (not sure if it was before the Haitian revolution).

 

And so it is, I find myself alone on a groaning seat of good intent. It appears you have won, my brother, for in this wicked world the better man is not the best.

Have you come then, Robin Hood?

I am here John.

Then, let us make an end.

For THIS I'll have your head upon a pike!

It is not too late, John. You can still set the crown aside, John, even now.

No. No, Robin Hood, I cannot. I must play the part unto the end. Come then! Remove my crown, if you will...

 

Work was very stressful today. By the end of the day, three of us were in tears. You would think licensed professionals could act like adults and not petulant children...

Oh my head, my head, my head! Where have you gone...

 

Stupid cold. Stupid train. Stupid rain. Stupid lack of sleep.


And too lazy to start working on getting out of this mood.

*cackle*

Hmm, I am starting to get too interested in Once Upon a Time In Mexico if I am actually starting to like - *shudder* - Enrique Iglesias.



I really do hope I can get over it quickly enough...

But the moment I mention having laid my grubby little paws on any of his CDs, someone please let me out of my misery?

On the other hand, i feel old. So very, very old.
Some kiddies from next door vcame to aske me yesterday if I had dropped a necklace, and then asked me if I had kids, or a husband, or pets and told me how many kids there were in the immediate vicinity.

I feel OLD... if I ever start baking them cookies, shoot me. Please.

Gah.

 

I really hate having my bedroom off of the kitchen sometimes. My housemates have no consideration for the fact that I don't have class until later on today and that I would like to sleep in.

They were being very loud and talkative in the kitchen this morning, and now I can't get back to sleep. If the rest of the school year is going to be like this, I am going to be exhausted for the next ten months.

 

Had to go to the dentist's today morning and they kept me on the chair for two hours. It was nowhere close to pleasure.

And then had to go pick up some papers for grandmother and check if some book had arrived for sister.

Definitely need some coffee.
