My office life just gets stranger and stranger. There's a friendly guy who works down the hall from my cubical bay; he's an amateur photographer, and asked if I'd be willing to let him take pictures of my outfits every day so he can get some practice shooting people instead of landscapes. Sure, I said, because hey, more Shallow Fashion Details photos! I like that idea!
So we met up, took today's photos, and walking back into the cubicle bay I explained a little bit about Goth to him (he's Russian and doesn't have a good frame of reference, apparently). After he waved goodbye and wandered off, one of my fellow cubicle-bay dwellers piped up with
"I'm glad I overheard that, because I was working up to asking if you dressed that way because you lost a bet."
Fellow cubicle-bay dweller than asked if he could take a camera-phone photo of me to show to his wife. Er, okay? Even though you thought I dressed this way because I lost a bet?
Lost a bet? That's a pretty pricey and involved bet, not to mention A HUGELY RUDE THING TO SAY if he was even slightly serious.
Yeah, I'm pretty baffled. I'm also good at not showing what's going on in my head, so I just laughed a merry little laugh and said something like
"Oh no, I like dressing like this. This is how I always look!"
While inside the privacy of my brain going "WTF, man?" and rolling my eyes.
Correct response: "Ha, that's so funny because I was going to ask you the same thing!"
I'd assume Angel's claddagh ring was silver. Although he is tight with a buck. And masochistic, for that matter.
Correct response: "Ha, that's so funny because I was going to ask you the same thing!"
Now now. That sort of behavior is not GCS-approved.

It's not, but the temptation to ask him why he dresses like Les Nesman from WKRP is, at times, nigh-overwhelming.
Oh, what Les Nessman would have given for a cubicle. Walls!
my new shoes: [link] am wearing them right AIFG. love.
I think msbelle is wearing shoes that should be mine
Nice shoooooes.
I need shoes. But I just paid this month's credit card bill and I want to curl up in a ball. And the next couple of months are going to be just as bad. Xmas, clothes that fit, 2 crowns, 3 cavities filled...I've got to move money from savings. Which I knew would happen, but gah. I hate not building savings.
