Stupid Suzie Tricks
I don't know if it was 9/11, the rainy weather or basic absentmindedness, but I toiled through a good six hours at work Monday with my shirt on inside-out. I seriously don't think I've ever done that before while sober or while not dressing in a car.
To my credit, I'm talking about a sheer gypsy shirt (or J-Lo shirt as one colleague calls it) and there's limited seams. Plus I always cut the tags out. (Neck ticklers!) I noticed because I expected a bit more sparkle (a hint) when I was looking in the mirror.
Six hours! Four meetings, dozens of conversations.
I was either the source of a little office humor or it really wasn't noticeable. When I revealed my discovery, Nancie said she couldn't tell at all. I chose to believe her. Besides, they really would have told me.

If it makes you feel any better... remember that I often show up wearing two different colored shoes. On those days I try to walk sideways toward people. That way the people on the left think I'm wearing navy blue shoes and the people on my right think I'm wearing black shoes. You'll learn to compensate :-)
