Wow. Imagine my surprise to discover that my carefully selected be-presentable-to-your-clients-by-wearing-fancy-clothes outfit has been on wrong all day. Apparently tired (and blonde) people should not be allowed to dress themselves, especially on a Very Important Work Day. My lovely pink/black skirt has been inside out the entire day. Yes, that's right, inside out. I've had breakfast with the clients, worked on a presentation (that I'll be pitching shortly) and have been walking around all day thinking I looked fairly decent (despite the bags under my eyes) when, alas, that is not the case at all. Big deep seams should not be visible from the outside. Bugger!
On a positive note, I did just complete my first Powerpoint presentation (big thanks to Kate for showing me the ropes) and I finally figured out how to get my work email on my iPhone. Wahoo! Now I can take work wherever I go (and yes, I do work on occasion, in case anyone thought all I did was sit around and blog all day). :)

Tired (or Blonde) People Shouldn't Dress Themselves

Wow I have worn my shirt wrong. I even came to work with two different shoes on one day. To make matters worse one shoe had a heal and one was a flat and I walked to work without figuring out that I had on two different shoes. So I am addicted to power point. Are you on the new one with all the fancey stuff?
ReplyDeleteI was laughing out loud at your blonde moment. Thanks for sharing. We have all done it at one point or another.
