Pantyhose is evil. I refuse to wear it unless absolutely necessary - i.e. if I have to wear a business suit in the winter, with which tights would look silly. Otherwise, I go right from bare legs to tights. No in-between.
I actually did wear pantyhose yesterday (job interview)... brand new when I put them on, completely ruined by the end of the day. Pantyhose not only sucks to wear, but it's also a total money-sucking scam.

i could not agree with you more wholeheartedly, pantyhose is the most wretched invention ever. i haven't worn it since january of '05. any employer interviewing me had better be willing to accept the fact that i wear black and white striped tights.
and fleece pajama pants in the off-time. man i love pajama pants. now there is the BEST invention ever, you can even get them slightly flared, for stylin' the grocery excursion. my favorite pair is light purple with black, white and neon green polka dots. i could live in them.

And I was ridiculously nervous, considering I know my job inside and out. I'm just glad it's over. And considering I've been a total lifesaver for my boss today, I told her I better get the stupid job. |

lol. in those words exactly? i'm having a fabulous day, a sparkling combination of hangover and extremely bitchy menopausal co-workers. it's like everything you say to them is exasperating or insulting, and everything they say to me hurts my brain.  |

I just found out she has to check my references. We had a good laugh because she thinks it's as ridiculous as I do... especially considering I've been here nearly four years. Crazy. Wow, sounds like your day was great.  Makes my head hurt just to think about it. Hope today's better. |

Wouldn't all your references be pretty much supervisors and co-workers within the last four years anyway? Red tape is the best. I'm trying very hard to have pity for the menopause. I know it'll probably suck someday if I am unfortunate enough to reach it. Privately though sometimes I wonder if many just use it as an excuse to FINALLY let out their inner bitch. That's what my mom says. She won't or at least hasn't gone through menopause (she's 49 now) but she's been pretty psycho anyway since she was 25 I'm told. Probably nobody will notice much difference. |

One of my references was actually her, which is sort of funny... but I replaced her with a former boss, since I figured I probably couldn't use one of the interview panel members as a reference. The others were my "big" boss here (who's last day was yesterday) and my former director from my job right before this one. Yeah, the red tape is fucking ridiculous.
I think some women definitely use the menopause thing as an excuse to be extraordinarily bitchy - and they're probably the same ones who used their period as an excuse to be bitchy once a month before (even though they were really just bitchy all the time.)
I am wearing flats for the first time all week. My feet are in heaven.

I'm a slob, I get to wear sneakers and jeans to work so I never really dress up. If I wore high heels, my legs would be sculpted like no other, since my office is upstairs and I spend most of my running up or down a flight of 28 stairs.

Though actually, I'm at the point now where I have a harder time finding something to wear on casual Fridays than I do on any other weekday. I've gone from being a dedicated jeans and t-shirt girl to being a girl whose favourite pair of shoes have a 3 1/2 inch heel (yet are somehow as comfortable as a pair of sneakers.) I don't know how that happened. Granted, the first thing I still do when I get home from work is throw on a pair of ripped jeans and a hoodie. Some things never change. |

You guys up north need flannel sheets. Nothing beats flannel sheets on a cold winter night.
