Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think that as long as it's not too short, it would be appropriate anywhere jeans are appropriate. Or, what Cass said.

The acclimating part is generally referred to as "settlement".

Modifying Dana's:

We have provided support to employees from diverse nationalities in obtaining work visas and with settlement in their new communities.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wore a denim skirt to my Oxford interview. Twenty years later I'm suddenly getting all appropriate?

My god, I can't believe my mother let me wear that. My blouse was very pretty, though.

I need more steel-toed shoes and more denim skirts, I'm suddenly convinced. But I don't need more shoes. And I don't need more clothes.

Now I'm worried that settlement is a Canadian usage, b/c every immgration reference I find to it is from Canada.

Thanks, y'all I smushed your excellent suggestions up into one, way improved, sentence and sent the whole document off to the VP.

A denim skirt sounds perfectly acceptable.

And I don't need more clothes.

I'm sure I don't either, and yet I'm browsing a bunch of different blazers. And skirts.

I also could do with more blazers and turtlenecks. Despite oncoming LA summer. It's still going to be wintry in this office, as long as I'm employed here.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am getting many compliments on my Easter egg nails. Which is fun and all, but it makes me realized I NEED to see Kat very soon so I can trade her cash monies for some groovy Nubar nail polish.

The things that get shuffled to the bottom of my to-do list. Damn shame, I say.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The check engine light went on in my car on my drive home. I'm going to drop it off at the dealer early tomorrow and hope it isn't anything major. Feh.
