My used suits and other work clothes just got passed on by a second resale shop. They are just classic-cut pant suits, straight jackets. nothing out-dated looking. such a bummer. Then I looked on the local dress for success site and they are not accepting anything smaller than size 16. I guess I will try to ebay them, I was hoping to avid that effort, but I think I need to try and get some money.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did I post here about my disappointing consignment experience? They took two things out of my pile, and they both sold, and I'm getting $12. For a nice sweater and brand-new Kate Spade wallet! Fuck that. I really should have put the wallet on eBay, but from now on, clothes are just going to Goodwill.

I think it's that I accidentally left the coffee on the burner too long and it isn't as delicious as it could be.
Woes. You know the only solution to this, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there's a cultural difference between software shops that sell software products as opposed to software services
I have worked for and with both, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Tep, I am lusting after that shirt HARD CORE.
I too have a ton of clothes I need to drop off at Goodwill.
Apparently it's supposed to snow like crazy? It's already pretty chilly here, 20 degrees. I'm supposed to tour the KC Google Fiber office tomorrow morning, and I really don't want to miss it.

Next time I'm asking you first. My solution was to wait for it to get cold and then toss it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I could wear jeans to work every day, but as I've only one pair I don't. The NGO dress code can be pretty flexible. Some people come to work in lovely suits, some in the work clothes they'd wear in their home countries, and some in various interpretations of business casual. And then there's the classic public health professional "my field placement was more wide-ranging than yours" miscellany of tunic, trousers, scarves, and jewelry sourced from as many continents as one can claim to have worked in. I'm just jealous that I can only wear a necklace and shawl from Senegal with my J.Jill outfits.
Today I'm working from home in sweat pants and a Valhalla Calling t-shirt.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Every time I come to work in a nice outfit, it winds up being a day where I have to crawl around repatching cables. So I've more or less given up on ever wearing a skirt again. I have 4 pairs of identical black pants from Old Navy that look fine and I don't mind getting dirty.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I finally got dressed. I chose my basic punk uniform: black cargoes, black fitted T shirt, red bandana, black hat. I either look like I'm about to plot the violent overthrow of the government or maybe do some work on the railroad.
It is also now snowling like crazy, so our snow day is finally justified here. (Ha, leaving that typo!) All the local schools closed, so it must have been worse there than here, but it was mild enough up until now I put the dog out to enjoy the sunshine. Now it's suddenly all HOW MANY FLAKES CAN I FIT IN THIS SPACE?
But I'm having Guinness and barbecue chicken pizza for lunch AND I found the last software installer I needed so it's all ok.
