quislibetSo earlier I left the office to do the following: (1) microwave a late
lunch; (2) get Prof. *****'s signature on a form due today; and (3) buy something to keep my legs warm, as Mere Pants are not enough, even here in the office. So, I thought, a microwave being present in a kitchenette across the hall from said prof.'s office, it made sense to go take care of number (3) first.
Down the street are several sporting goods stores; the nearest an expensive ski shop. I was willing at this point to pay expensive ski shop prices, but once there found that my size was sold out in the two brands my mind could comfortably conceive of paying for. On the way back, cold and defeated -- for I did not wish to walk down to the more distant stores--, I stopped in a CVS, more for a place to get out of the wind than anything -- and in a flash of brilliance remembered women's hosiery! So now I'm all warm and toasty with some 6-dollar fashion tights under my jeans, which is all to the good, at least until I'm in the men's locker room at the Y tonight.
Naturally, by the time I got to the department office, Prof. ***** had just left to teach a class which lasts until right when I have to leave to catch my train, so I will have to try again tomorrow, and my form will be a day late. But at least I have had lunch, and my legs are warm.
