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?)
