    Blisters

    second day at the new assignment

    gotta be suited and booted here, well for me that means tidy trousers, shirt and jumper

    but, ouch,
    first time I've had to dress like this in about 5 years and these shoes which haven't been worn for 5 years are giving blisters :-(

    Anyway, work is fine and colleagues nice

    Milan.

    Good to hear all is going well Bensey.

    Don't forget to give the tape cupboard a good hoover out otherwise your dry cleaning bill will go through the roof.

      Sorry mate but Suited and Booted means Suited and Booted.

      Your description of tidy trousers, shirt and jumper sounds more like:
      1) Wilmslow clone
      2) Just plain naff
      3) School uniform
      4) Acceptable for Business casual (assuming you really are a tape monkey - as IMHO a "jumper" is just dorky and never to be worn in public)

      but anyway - get your self a new pair of shoes (if you've got to wear them they should be comfortable)

        Well at least you have ditched the tank-top.
