boots and jobs
January 18, 2010
Last week I bought brown leather boots. They’re up there on the left, in all their once-worn newness. They’re replacements for the pair on the right, worn through several Chicago winters. They were well-loved. Maybe too loved. I didn’t realize they were so worn out until the new pair arrived, all buttery leather and unscuffed soles. I ought to get rid of the old pair, but I get attached to things. The heels were just the right height, not too tall for work or comfort. It’s hard to let go when you think of the good times you had together. Or maybe that’s just me.
My job has been changing, and suddenly it’s all worn out. It will be interesting to see what the new one will be. I hope the heels aren’t too high.

hooray for new boots, and good luck with the new job!
I like the boots. Is this a new project you’re alluding to or an entirely new job? In either event, best of luck.
It will be a totally new job. Probably in the same company, but a totally new job. Now, if I could just figure out who my new boss will be…
Didn’t read that carefully. I thought it said “boob jobs”
@Jules: lol
Good luck with the new job, and yay for fresh new leather boots!
