Shoes, Snow, Stuff & Whatever
Feb. 3rd, 2009 08:17 pmOk so, first off, today it's been snowing all day long. I mentioned I suck at driving? I suck at driving. But driving is, ultimately, a good thing, so, I'll just have to keep doing it until I get better at it. Driving in the snow is... not really that intimidating to me. I have had no issues whatsoever thus far.
I went to the store and bought a pair of cheap non-slip black sneakers with black laces. At least I could try them on... but they're gonna come apart inside, I can totally tell. What a waste of 25 bucks, seriously. I ordered real leather lace-up shoes, too, in like four different sizes, and I'll send back the ones that don't fit, but they take three days to ship. Whatever, at least I could go to work today without getting written up again and sent right back home.
Those shoes though... I guess it sounds kind of silly but they're weird to walk in because I'm so used to my other shoes. My other shoes are really heavy, and these sneakers are really light, and it threw me off for like an hour before I really got a feel for them. Go me. I really wanted to make a case for not having to wear non-slip shoes - like I said, I don't go in the kitchen, so I'm never on tile anyway and can't slip on the carpets, so what's the point? But I know what the answer to that would be - I knew when I got hired what the uniform was, and blah blah blah. I could have gotten black shoes then, and probably no one would ever have known if they were non-slip or not, and all would have been fine. I was just being stubborn I guess.
And anyway today my manager just asked me if they were non-slip and I said yes. I've seen him make other people show him the bottoms of their shoes, but, I mean, seriously, he's got to know that I can't pick my foot up to show him anyway. But really, I was only at work for two hours anyway, because I ended up getting sent home early because of the weather. So - TOTALLY POINTLESS of me to buy those sneakers.
Whatever, I'm over that.
I've been sleeping at B's a whole lot lately. I try not to leave my stuff over there, cause I don't want to be that girl, but I've kind of been doing it anyway. He said it's okay, but I still feel kinda bad.
