Woke up about 11, dragged myself into town, went to the bank to pay my rent, went to work (one of them) where I did the lovely tedious job of counting up how many people have been through the clinic in the past year, had a few smoke breaks, did some vacuuming. I got something of a promotion! 3 hours a week doing outreach to street workers (I work at the NZ Prostitutes Collective), thought "fuck yeah I'm in!". Then I left and went to the supermarket and bought mandarins and bread. Got the bus home, I had a package waiting for me (a new external hard drive I bought online). Got into bed with my computer and a bottle of cider. Pretty good day over all.

Job interview (suit), apple fritter, road trip, meal with mom.

Aries83, some advice my dad gave me about wearing a suit: Don't think about it. You're still just wearing clothes. Something I've discovered about wearing a suit: Women (mostly) really like seeing a guy in a suit. Take the opportunity to look around from time to time, and smile like a goon when you catch one eyeballfucking you. Make it fun, and it won't seem such a chore.

And, unless you're in some type of security function, neverneverever a clip on. Ties actually serve to hide the buttons and point out your crotch to anyone who happens to be curious about its exact location (except, of course, for bowties--in both cases).

So, OP, what did YOU do today?

ETA: Aries83, could you get away with an open collar instead of a tie? How formal is the dress code? (I won't suggest a cravat, because I seriously doubt it would fly and it's really no less a hassle than a tie.) Size up the neck of your shirt a half-size, that's likely your issue. Then just tighten the tie to the shirt. Wearing a tie really shouldn't be (physically or mentally, but you're on your own there) uncomfortable at all...

Yes, ok I know about how women feel about suits but imagine getting up in the morning, putting a sharp, cold piece of steel to my face to do something called...shave. Jumping in the shower only to find when dried off, ok just just what suit do I have clean, a clean shirt that goes along and a clean tie to compliment.

Now how about doing this 8-10 even 20 years...day in and day out. Boooring and confining. I longed for the open collar not, that I could wear any color shirt I wanted, as long as...it was white.

Walked round Venice with Wench. Ate icecream and drank beer in the sunshine. Slept in the afternoon. Ate good food in the evening. Drank grappa on the bank of the gran cannal just now. In bed listening to the sound of waves and the thump of marine turbo diesels.....

Yesterday, I was waiting for my new 3tb hard drive. from 8 last night till 3 this morning, I was trying to get windows to allow me to access more than 1.22 tb of the drive... Finally Windows relented and allowed me full access to the new drive.

Today was cleaning, doing my laundry, grocery shopping (I really need a sub to do these chores) playing with my new dog and great nephew, and in the process discovered my computer desk actually has a Large desk top than I thought.

It's still early. Tea and breakfast. Now I'm having some quiet internets time. (Woke up a bit tired this morning...) Soon, I'm going for a run, and then I'll send some emails and do some studying. And maybe clean a little bit.

Who's jealous?

Edit: Sigh, never mind.

I tried to make sense of Propertius with a friend. Try to make some sense of another Latin text. (My Latin is not adequate at all.) Spend a lot of time doing nothing.
