I think platform peep toe shoes are of dubious work-appropriateness,
well it depends on the nature of your work
but when your toes overhang it's definitely a no go.
this is just always wrong. Also, heels hanging off the back. or sides of feet hanging off the sides. (hate a poorly fitted shoe!)
Or shoes that are too big so you shuffle along trying to keep them from falling off.

Ok, so... does anyone know the origin of "OMGWTFBBQ"?
Someone asked me, and I realized I have no clue.
Man, I need a life with more leisure. Or less responsibility. Or more sick time.
This. I fear I'm about to hit burnout stage.
Message in a Bottle
Americans spent more money last year on bottled water than on ipods or movie tickets: $15 Billion. A journey into the economics--and psychology--of an unlikely business boom. And what it says about our culture of indulgence.[link]
We've come to pay good money--two or three or four times the cost of gasoline--for a product we have always gotten, and can still get, for free, from taps in our homes.
I don't get the water that comes out of my tap for free. It's cheaper, sure, but not free.
In my case it says a lot about the water quality here. Recent alert - they've warned people in DC and, I think, Virginia that if their water smells nasty it's OK. The Potomac's low and there's a lot of algae, which causes the smell. They've put another step in the water purification process - it should start smelling OK in two or three days.
The water at my grandparents is horrible. It's all soft and smells like sulfur. I can't even stand to have iced tea or lemonade or even ice cubes made from it.
We either buy one of those huge gallon water things or cases of bottled. That still doesn't solve the shower issue though.

Free water in my tap at home doesn't do me much good in the car, or on an airplane, or out for a run. It's not usually cold enough, and depending on where you are, the taste can be a crap shoot.
