Carrying on in a similar vein as last night ….. I wonder at what point you TELL someone about a personal mess or clothing goof up???
You know the sort of thing… an open fly, dress tucked into knickers, spinach in your teeth, loo paper hanging out your pants…
Well….today I was in a meeting and I became a tad emotional, angry and upset . I wasn’t actually crying however a sneaky tear escaped one eye….before it quickly dried and things moved along nicely.
I left the meeting, chatted to a bunch of people in the hallway, had a coffee with a colleague… then went back to the car where I caught a glimpse of the ugliest panda eyes you can imagine. A huge smudge under one and a corner full of black goop in the other.
Bloody hell, why didn’t anyone mention that I looked like a traffic accident ?? (while I was busy feeling quietly smug, as I was sporting my new, fresh hair-do). What does it take for someone (in this case, not even strangers) to give you a quiet whisper telling you to pull yourself together??
Anyway, lessons learned …
1/ don’t save waterproof mascara for the summer swim season… and
2/ if I ever come across a sister (or mister) who is sporting some unsightly malfunction….I will tell them.
Would you ??
