Belated Friday

Training yesterday went well. The new partners were quite generous with their swag---the goodie bag included a full bottle of fragrance, a baseball cap (I got a red one), lanyard, business card holder, etc. (Which beats the hell out of Posh Brits, who are the priciest bunch we sell for, and THEY never give us ANYTHING.) The new partners (hereby christened All Wet) are a lower price point than I expected, more comparable to Geezer Britches. They've never had a web presense before, so it remains to be seen how well they'll take off, but their policies are very liberal and they're talking about granting an employee discount. Since their womenswear only goes up to a 16, that's not going to affect me, but accessories, maybe?

I went to Goodwill after I got out of work. Found a pair of black jeans that fit, wahoo, a pretty pink shirt that's NWT, and a cute little Fossil purse with bamboo handles. Definitely a "springtime in the tropics" kind of thing.

Picked up some chicken on the way back to the C's. Watched What Not to Wear---I'd love to be on that show, but I don't have anyone to turn me in. (It's not that I think I dress badly, it's just that I could dress a helluva lot better if I could afford to shop something besides Goodwill and clearance racks in a town like New York where there are more than a couple widely-scattered plus size stores. And shoes---I could blow a grand on shoes, easy.) $5000 worth of shopping in NYC and a makeover? Sign me up, baby! There is NOTHING in my closet that I'm *that* attached to.

Was underwhelmed by what was on afterward, so I went upstairs and watched a couple more eps of Torchwood. karaokegal, I now understand what you meant about "Cyberwoman"---I wanted to *smack* the sniveling little toad. Owen, on the other hand, just keeps getter hotter. (The ep before that was the one with the witnessing device.) No bunnies, but that's okay, I have enough other stuff going on right now.

It's raining again. I hope it clears up before I have to head home for work....
