Ballerina Day

Today I did the most awesome thing I think I've ever done and I can thank my darling boss for it. Yesterday, because of the unseasonably warm weather, I decided to wear a skirt to work. Nothing special, just a skirt, long enough so that I won't get chastised for not being formal enough. So, when I walk into work my boss looks at me and says, "Wow, you look pretty today. I hope you will look this pretty tomorrow morning when you go meet the new group." (!) Can we just take a moment to think about ALL of the things that are wrong with that comment?! I mean, what...the...hell? So today I rebelled in the only and best way I know how.

The only way to describe how I looked this morning would be something like ‘ballerina clown,’ except all in blue, which makes it confusing and yet awesome. The most fantastic part was that all of my clothes were formal enough so that she couldn’t say, “you have to wear business attire.” The was the idea, she couldn’t say anything. So, she walked in and she looks at me and she gives me this look that says, ‘I’ll comment on your attire later.’ I laughed and laughed. Actually, I literally laughed every time I saw my reflection in a mirror.

Man, homegirl needs to get off of my jockstrap and stop commenting on every item of clothing I wear. My next move will be to bring in a detailed log of everything I own and just tell her that she should pick out an outfit for me every evening and just let me know what I should wear the next day. You think that will go over well?
