And Jesse, those boots are The Awesome. Not for my fat calf muscles, but still.
They claim something about two different zippers that made me think they would fit over my calves, but we'll see. Calfs?

Bacon!
I had a Baconator burger from Wendy's. Dude, that is a heart attack on a bun! But yummy.
This is what I'm wearing today. One of the more clothes-conscious women here is wearing jeans and a polo shirt, which boggles. The most consistently dressed woman wears pantsuits over solid coloured shells and matching stilettos. She's passed over into that zone that has mostly suited guys in it. I'm not sure how many suits she has. Suddenly didn't seem important.
Jesse, I think we got the same boots, and I gotta say I'm not pleased (with the boots. I'd be more than happy to be your boots twin!). The dual zipper thing doesn't work as well as I thought. Granted, I also ordered a half-size too small, but I think I'd return them no matter what. I hope it works better for you!
She thinks it's the result of some online xmas shopping.
I never use my debit card online for this reason. Of course, I also try to keep $100 or less on it, too. That’s partly why I have two checking accounts.
I've been looking for a cool black one. Or argyle.
Why do you hurt me so? I thought you liked me.
The funny thing is, I miss having a Professional dress code. I seem to work better whilst wearing a suit.
I absolutely do. Even when my old office went business casual, I still kept to it on Fridays. Of course, some of my objection to wearing casual clothes at work is racially motivated.
Also, I think that I associate casual dress with Fridays, when I never seem to get any work done.
Today, I’m wearing a grey pinstriped pantsuit with a royal purple sweater and black flats.
Why do people dial the phone and listen to the phone ring on speakerphone, and then pick it up when they get the person.
I do that all of the time. I think it’s so I can do other things while the phone is ringing. Yes, it’s 30 seconds, but I feel better for it. I might add that I have an office, and would never do that in another kind of environment.
But I was so burned by the Aerosoles when I tried to order boots a few weeks ago. They claimed to be available on their website but they really weren't. So they ended up canceling both orders.
Yeah, I just saw some really cute flats on the site that I tried to order, but it kept not letting me put them in the shopping cart. Finally, I went to IE and tried, only to discover that they didn’t have them in my size. In Firefox, if the size isn’t available, it just takes away the “shopping cart” button, but the size still appears. Annoying.
I am Frank on this, if it is an outside call. Our phone system shows us the name of the person calling if they are in the office, so then I say "Hi X".
Now, this is a question I’d like to pose. When you know who the caller is, should you greet them by name, or just answer hello? And does this differ if it is a personal call rather than a business one?
That's a great shirt, ita. Are those French cuffs?
*sigh* I swear, my kids go from room to room to room making as much mess as they can. I strongly suggest to parents of pre-toddlers to start buying paper towels in bulk and stain guard your furniture and carpet.
In the firsty of first world problems, they can't hook up our home theatre today because of issues with the subwoofer we picked and the tuner. And some cable stuff. Feh. We can get the equipment sorted today but the install will have to be resheduled for next week. I was sort of looking forward to watching tv on plasma.
Why do people dial the phone and listen to the phone ring on speakerphone, and then pick it up when they get the person.
I do this because I am never sure if I am going to get a pushbutton menu instad of a person, and that's easier to navigate when my phone is on speaker.
fit over my calves, but we'll see. Calfs?
Calf muscles?! Or in my case calf fat?

Mostly done!
If it's a business call from someone I'm not really familiar with, I'll answer it as I do unknown callers ("Editorial Library"). If it's my boss or someone else from my department, I'll answer as I do a family member or friend ("Hey there! Thanks for returning my call/What's up?/whatever is appropriate here").
