Moving Box of Germs


The current life shattering problem right now is not the American election,  the current drug crisis or even climate change.  What the most relevant issue for all working women is how to find damn dress shoes that you can wear all day at work AND look good in!  It’s not rocket science people.  Develop a damn shoe that has the same comfort of flip flops but make our legs look fantastic!  Why is this so hard for the shoe maker people?  I could, again, be a gajillionaire if I could develop and market a memory foam pump.  Why do all the current  memory foam type of dress shoes look like they belong on a 72 year old?   I suppose you are now wondering how the shoe issue has absolutely anything to do with the title of this post.  Now that I work in a germ infested building of fun, I have to confess to yet another quirk that I have successfully been able to hide up until now.  I will not under any circumstances get into an elevator with people.  Mostly people with germs and since I cannot convince all people to perform proper hand hygiene or wear a damn mask before boarding, I will painfully take the stairs.  This avoidance of the Moving Box of Germs has made my life difficult in that the coffee shop that I must attend daily for sanity reasons is on the first floor.  I am on the third.  If there happens to be a meeting of sorts or other businessy type thing this usually takes place on the first floor where upon I need to then walk up and down the stairs, most times making multiple trips.  All this would be no bother at all if I could just find an extremely attractive pair of shoes that provide the comfort of a slipper.  I will be heading out this weekend to do some shoe comfort research because it will be a cold day in you know where before I put on a pair of Naturalizers!  (Or as my Mom mistakenly calls them:  Neutralizers.  What?)
