I'll tell you what I PMed Drolefille

I watch Jeopardy on a regular basis.

I watch certain MTV shows when I see on the guide that they're on.

I would watch Daria if I had the N!

I don't watch a whole lot of TV. It's mainly background noise in my house.

Really? I hate them together, a lot. I wish she'd just be the eccentric woman who takes young lovers and then leaves them heartbroken.

Watching the old ones you can see how much they care about each other. They've both been acting sooo out of character this past season and for that I can only blame the Palladinos. I don't want her to see Christopher... he's more of the childhood friend and everytime she goes back to him she gets hurt...

She clearly wasn't pleased at the end of the season finale..

The Pallandinos weren't writing this season-- they were bowing out of the project and won't return this coming season... I think a lot of the disconnect has to do with the new writer. I do like this past season's storyline of Rory becoming more of an adult and finding her own identity through rebellion.

I have a (male!) co-worker who goes around singing the segue music from the show... "La la la la la...."

Yeah but they were still in charge. I don't know. I want L&L to be together!

Seriously though he's loved her since Season 1 and she's totally bonded with him back then too... soo.. it has to work.

Why doesn't anyone hire ME to write for the shows that matter

Really? Why? That seems like an odd rule. I wore saddle shoes in elementary school.

My catholic school had no ruling on saddle shoes, but no one wore them either...

We didn't have rules on shoes until clogs became popular and every girl in my school bought a pair. (I went to a small school so it was the kind that if it was popular, every girl HAD to have it, or else.) Lots of girls running down the stairs in clogs. Not an attractive sound. They quickly got banned.

In high school I wore loafers. Why? Because my elementary school had a bizarre and stupid statement on their rule book that from 1rst till 3rd grade girls were to wear Mary Janes, but from 4th till 6th they were to wear penny loafers. And my mother always followed the rules to the letter. But in my secondary school, while most wore loafers, a few started wearing Mary Janes or lace-up shoes.

I bought Mary Janes on my own when I moved to FL and started going to college. I bought first a black pair with a single strap, but also later a brown pair with double T-straps. And I have had one pair of each style since.

I don't wear frilly socks with them. More like socks the same color of the shoes when I wear long pants or dresses or skirt. Another librarian was wearing Mary Janes today- black ones with black socks and black trousers. Not easy to spot- but I love Mary Janes so much that I noticed immediately and complimented her on them.

Mary Janes. With socks. In the SUMMER in FLORIDA? On a grown woman who isn't attending any sort of Catholic school or something.

Your higher up was doing you a favor with this reprimand. Out of style, innappropriate for the climate of your area and the season. Also unprofessional looking, in my mind at least.

Scandia · #14 07-27-2006, 06:48 AM

You see, I sniffle if I do not wear socks. For real. I have tried recently- spent the whole day sniffling. And hosiery does get uncomfortable

My boss found the comment stupid. We dug up the dress code- nothing about socks. The only rules regarding shoes were: no open-back shoes for page/delivery positions (however, many librarians and assistants do wear them), no beach sandals (alias flip-flops, a couple years ago some people did get into trouble for wearing them), and no bedroom slippers (although some of the mules that some people have worn do resemble slippers very much). And at another branch, people could not wear open-toed shoes either. That, and other librarians have worn Mary Janes and/or socks as well- including sandals with socks.

Someone did get sent home once due to a dress code violation- but she was wearing a midriff-baring shirt.

That sounds really strange. Getting the sniffles when you don't wear socks, in Florida in the summer? I'm assuming you mean by that that you got cold. If you get that cold from just not having socks on, sounds like more of a circulation problem.

It may not be address the dress code, but you're a young, single professional. I'd say branch out and try some new shoes. There's lots of fun shoes out there, and there's lots of comfortable fun shoes out there. Try a local DSW. You're in your 20's... you don't want to look like you're a lot older, particularly when you are single and on the lookout for young men.

You're way too young to get stuck in a fashion rut like this.
