Thanks, sumi!

Which...seriously? How many of you would your boss offer to take your place in a hostage situation with a gun-toting woman?? (My sister pointed out that her boss probably would, which I believe, but he's a firefighter. And crazy.)
I think it's entirely possible my big bosses would for me (and vice versa) since we're relatives, but while the people directly above me are very supportive supervisors, offering themselves in a hostage trade would be above and beyond the call of duty.

You're welcome. I'm excited about the prospect. Part of my excitement is no doubt due to the tangled mess I've made of my current project. .. which is Christmas knitting for my niece and MUST GET DONE.

My current boss, despite being extremely high strung and a micromanager, would offer herself. She would think it was her duty as the boss, plus she'd note that she's very well insured.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There's no way anyone at my office would do that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has anyone ever watched the sitcom The League? One of my TiVo auto-records picked it up, and it's predictably unfunny. But Eliza Dushku is in it! Playing a (pretty terrible) krav maga instructor. Weird as fuck. Needless to say, all of her character's shit is pretty damned bogus.
This has me thinking that handkit tabi style socks would be a very good thing
Why go for the overhead of tabi? I just wear socks all the time.
I can't believe my family just made me buy a t-shirt for my mother. I know Jamaica is the third world, but they do have plenty of t-shirts.
I can't decide if I should pull the trigger on those PJs or actually go to the mall and look for them. I'm scared of the mall. But they are really nice, if I have to get plaids. The only other patterns I'd probably like better would be the one for my last name or my mother's maiden name. Those are good tartans.

Socks - on hardwood floors = slippery. I've already taken a bad fall. Don't need another.

But surely whatever you're knitting the tabi out of you could make the socks out of the same thing and they wouldn't be slippery? And then the pattern would be simpler. It's not like it's the toe that makes it have grip.

I'm supposed to wear shoes with inserts all the time for the plantar fasciitis. I don't like it, but I've had to reluctantly admit that it makes a big difference. Sigh.
If a few of the bosses I've had were taken hostage, the employees would leave the building for lunch and argue about whether they should call 911.
