My boss and I wore the same clothes yesterday.

Ewww, this is a gross story. Apparently my boss and I wore the same clothes yesterday to work, strictly by accident.

I swear I didn't phone her and ask her what she was wearing so we could coordinate our wardrobe.

I didn't even realize it until halfway through the day. She sits behind me so I rarely turn around and look at her. I only discovered it when I met her in the hallway on the way back from the bathrooms.

She said, "Nice shirt!" We were wearing the same shirt.

I looked at her pants, but they were different. Thank goodness.

Two weird things I do at work.

1) I found this cup filled with pens, pencils, highlighters, a toothbrush (?), markers and a ruler. It's one of those old-fashioned, wood rulers from way back in elementary schools. I now carry this ruler around wherever I go at work.

I love holding it! It has just the right amount of weight and thickness. I often slap my palm with the ruler as I walk around. If I'm going to a meeting and I walk into the office, SLAP! If someone asks me a question and I need to think for a few moments, I use the ruler to rapidly slap my palm as I think. SLAP, SLAP, SLAP.

Occasionally I use the ruler for drawing straight lines. For example, I use a marker to scratch out entries into the computer program. I always used to free-draw the line and it looked horrible. Now, with my ruler, I draw a perfectly straight line.

2) I hike my pants up pretty high. So my waist is just under my belly button. Sometimes I tuck my shirt in as well. It looks awful, ridiculous. When I do this at home, Cindy lambastes me and rightly. The thing is, this look feels so naturally in an office. Hiking your pants up like a dweeb feels good. It feels right. The only problem is that it makes your ass look huge. Because the ass part of your pants is halfway up your back.
