At least I won't have to worry about where to park, the location of the restrooms, or the cafeteria!
To prepare for this new adventure I did some culling and cleaning of blazers and blouses. My previous job was at a university so much of my attire was collegiate gear with nearly every article of my clothing bearing the school logo. Those items were packed away and sent to a local charity. Bye-bye casual wear in school colors. Hello business professional.
A check of the blazers/jackets situation revealed a decent quantity - all of which had a layer of dust on the shoulders and collars. Seriously!!!??? What good are closet doors!? Why do I have dust in my closets! How embarrassing!
I don't mind dusting furniture as I like any immediate gratification house cleaning project! But dusting clothing! Not so much! In fact - not at all! Sooo....off to the laundry room to 'air-fluff' these long neglected garments. I also had to hand dust the exposed part of each hanger...NOT FUN! Dusting hangers? What?!?
But now it is done and like a school kid anxious for their first day I have my 'outfit' laid out including shoes, socks, and accessories!
Now...on to the card!
Just Thank You

Great use of the challenge colors! I love that big beautiful sentiment! Thanks for joining us this week at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteLove the big sentiment showcased like that and the page flags are just perfect on here!
ReplyDeleteWell, guess you're already at your new job and loving it too! That's fantastic. As far as dusting clothes.....um....interesting! I know I'd have to dust off mine if I went back to work after being retired now. Unless of course they'd let me wear sweats or jeans in the office!
Good luck with your new job.
