skin deep
i'm wearing a suit today. black with silver pinstripes with a funky stiff collar and a knee-length skirt. my hair is smoothly tied back without of any of my characteristic unruly bedhead.
i'm mystified and slightly amused at how my outfit is affecting my demeanor today. i'm a little more stern, my gait is a wee more purposeful. i'm not joking around as much with co-workers and my expression seems to be stuck firmly between a bemused smirk and a condescending stare over the tops of my reading glasses.
i keep resisting the urge to carry a ruler for gentle knuckle-rapping of misbehaving co-workers.
all of this is amusing the hell out of me.
(and feels a little, dare i say, naughty)
