what a day

i had a pretty terrible day yesterday..not emotionally really... bad things just seemed to happen...ok...ONE bad thing happened that pre-occupied my whole day!

i caught the train to work yesterday because i had this Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Seminar on after work and as if being squeezed between danny and this chick who didnt stop talking the WHOLE bluddy way to the city in a packed and SLOWWW train wasnt bad enough, as i went to ascend the stairs at my stop, danny whispers very LOUDLY... your pants are ripped!!!

i turned a ghastly white and whispered i presume equally as loud back.. WHERE!!?!!?!

on your ass!!! be careful!!!

... and before i got the chance to clarify the whereabouts and the size of the culprit, the train stopped and i was forced to push past everyone and clamber up the stairs before the train left again...

so alll the way to work.. the WHOLE TWENTY MINUTE WALK through the BUSY streets of sydney city i was soooooooooooo paranoid!

i kept trying to feel where the wind was to ascertain the whereabouts of the culprit rip...

so after what seemed like a lifetime of walking with all that paranoia, i got to work..

i ran to my desk... got out my sewing kit... (yes i have a sewing kit, and yes i bring it to work) and i bolted to the toilets to sew up the rip...

the rip by then was about 2.5 cms long ... and threatening to rip even more...

so i had to sew up the stupid rip in the stinky morning toilet!

and u would think that would be the end of the paranoia right?

wrong! the paranoia got worse as the day progressed... i had a legal seminar to attend that night.. in a room full of legal practitioners.. what if they ripped then exposing my bum for the profession to see??? what if i was MEANT to be headhunted that night? what if my chances were RUINED like janet's (jackson) career after the exposure of her breast at the superbowl?????

so by lunch i couldnt stand it anymore so i decided to go to the shops to get a new pair of pants to change into..

and you would think it would be that easy....

what i hadn't accounted for was the fact that all the pants at the shops did not cater for my short asian legs!

so leesa my workmate found me a pair of black pants and i bought it... after i walked out of the shops i realised that they were too long!!! and i couldnt spend 30 minutes at work sewing them up!

so i went back into the shop and decided to buy a dress.... simple enough concept...

but when i got back to work... i didnt feel like changing into the dress anymore for fear of looking like the vainpot who changes her clothes throughout the day at work!

so after some hesitation... i decided to just go sew up the length of my new workpants...yes.. in the STINKY afternoon toilets....

while i was in there sewing up my pants... my manager... who pretty much NEVER looks for me.. decided to come and look for me at my desk (where i was sitting pretty much the whole day) and decided that whatever matter it was had URGENT status so when i got back i had about 10 people coming up to me whispering that the big boss was looking for me...and it seemed pretty serious

i thought i was screwed!!! i thought i was going to get fired and that it would of been the fault of the stupid rip!

but lucky... it turned out to only be about some workshop i had to attend this morning .. but man.. what a day!
