the price of our decisions
well because i was asked, and i did promise to, not that anyone has to twist my arm too hard for me to do so, i'm wearing my white ghille pumps untied all day with a strapless floral dress because summer has bedded down upon us and even the nights are hot and stuffy. sultry some would say, so wearing easy airy pieces are the order until cooler weather comes along. there's not really any concerns on the work front with these, as their leather laces are short and don't reach the ground. i actually ended up running a staff meeting in the boss's stead this day, crossing back and forth in front of the big drop down screen in the meeting room for a couple of hours as i explained graphics and pie graphs about company positioning and growth in the upcoming years. it's just too bad it had been sprung upon me that morning, as i felt a little bit like a shlub with my bare legs. the couple of ladies around the table were polite, i noticed one of them, a blond off to my left at the front edge of the table in black blazer, white blouse and black trousers and hose had her legs crossed and she fidgeted with the buckle of her black mary jane pump but i couldn't much stare at her while making the presentation. one guy across the table mumbled about my being unprofessional with my shoelaces untied to the guy on his right and i noticed the blond put her foot on the floor and sat straight up. "is there a problem?" i asked the room and the guy said "not at all" i found i was making more and more glances at the woman, desperately wanting to know if her shoe was still done up. when we broke for lunch i lagged behind to watch her step out but her pants leg concealed her pumps. After lunch i was no longer needed in the meeting and i went about my normal day of filing and retrieving files. i had to deliver a packing slip for a last minute rush order right at the end of the day, so once again i headed for home the long way around the building from the shipping dock, at home i cooked up some marinated chicken breasts and ate then watched some tv before getting out of my work clothes, laces undone for 13 and a half hours.
