last days of freedom

I am unable to be productive. I have a whole list of things I wanted to do before I start work next week, and as of yet I’ve done .. nothing. Yesterday I was supposed to drive Oscar down to the North Shore Yahama shop for a tune up, but it’s a little icy out there for that. Today was supposed to be haircut day, but my stylist is off until Friday. I also plan to do up a fresh henna job, but that’s a post-haircut thing – so it has to wait. What’s left? Nothing but housework, which I have zero interest in doing. BAH!

I don’t know what the dress code of my new job will be, but I have hopes it’ll dance on the side of casual. It actually came up in the interview, where I did my best to wax poetry about how much I truly love my jeans. I also brought up the fact that I work in .. uh .. whatever field it is I work in, and people like me aren’t known for dressing up in fancy, which was appreciated and acknowledged (I hope). Still, for the first day I must dress to impress. I have high and completely unreasonable hopes that spring will appear in the next two days or so, but I should probably plan an outfit that complies with the weather – which means pants of some sort, and something warm. I don’t own pants that aren’t jeans, short summer pants, or covered in zippers, so I should probably figure this out. Maybe I’ll go outside and see if I can’t find myself a nice pair of formal sweat pants, or something.

Ooh, I’m hungry too. Eating is productive, right?

  1. congratulations on the new job … hooray! i hope that this will be a much better experience for you than the space station was … hey, vacation and benefits are a nice start! i have an interview on friday for a position that would require me to dress far less casually than i do at my current job … when, oh when, will they make fleece and flannel businss wear!?!

  2. A recent hires in our (large) Space Station started his first day in shirt, tie and jacket. Immediately took off the jacket when he saw how everybody else were dressing. Lost the tie about an hour in, unbuttoned the top two buttons by 11, un-tucked the shirt by 2. :-)
