Heh. Actually, the company (fx: checks> ..yes, they still exist) was
going down the tubes (or so we thought), and I'd been hired as a UNIX
bod. There was _one_ fucking UNIX box in the entire place, and my
'expertise' at that time extended to telling some dozy **** to put an IP
into the /etc/hosts to avoid his telnet sessions timing out. And that
was it.

I spent the rest of my time there sniffing around the HR bint (Élise),
and getting pissed at company dos.

Thank **** I went into teaching.

D.

 

Some of my friends think I have OCD - you make me feel normal. But
anyway, while my shoes are put away in pairs, it's still possible to
mishandle two pairs in the dark.

Well done on the subtle use of the phrase "my dressing room", btw.
Classy.

Ah, well, for me shoes for work are just very generic 'black shoes',
so they're interchangeable almost by definition

I can't conceive of leaving the house with similar but different footwear
applied to different feet. The moment I put the second shoe on, my foot
will *Scream* the difference in feel up my leg.
I can't stand wearing odd socks[1] for the same reason, if they're
different lengths or textures I won't make it through the day.
I think it's this over-obsession with foot comfort that leaves me scant
time to make the rest of me look presentable, but since I work in IT with
a load of guys I wouldn't touch with yours, it's not major loss.

[1]When I was at primary school I had a pair of red, and a pair of blue
socks (amongst others, whilst not having a butler we weren't poor) It was
acceptable to wear one red and one blue provided that the alternate pair
were worn the next day.

Wasn't it, though?

I did wonder briefly why this dressing room doesn't have a light. I
concluded that he's probably rented it to three families of
asylum-seekers and didn't want to disturb them.

What a nice man.

 

It gave me a hell of a mental image[1], does he wear sock braces?
What does he look like?


[1]He was straightening his bow tie

Yep, you've pretty much got him, there.

 

heh.

On the 2nd storey of our house, there's a small landing, with four
doors leading off into a storage space, a shower-room, the master
bedroom, and another smaller bedroom. The two bedrooms also have an
adjoining door, and the smaller off the two was originally described
by the estate agent as "Dressing Room/Bedroom 6". As we're not using
it as a bedroom, then it's the dressing room.

 

sorry, I wasn't clear enough.

The dressing room does have a light (though at 06:00 at this time of
year it doesn't need one, as it's got 2 velux windows and is east-
facing. It contains my shoes, and my wardrobe with suits/shirts etc.
in it.

/However/ the chest-of-drawers with my underwear/t-shirts/non-hanging
jeans etc. in it is in the other adjacent bedroom, which is the one
that was dark.

Yes, yes, yes. But what about these asylum-seekers? How much are you
getting?

 

It's official: You're Weird.

Win!

I'm nice in real life, you know.

 

Surely at some point you've got one of your front legs stuck through
your collar.

 

I can't say. You never know when BB^Wthe IR is watching.

 

one tries one's best, don't you know.

 

Only in changing room in the less flattering stores.
I *AM* a size 8, and it's not my fault they make clothes slightly too
small.

 

They're probably going to be "special" shoes from now on.

 

That reads fine but would sound so wrong with your accent.

 

Rubbish. You're on the internet which, by default, makes you a size
18+ goth who was born male.
