he helped

As Daniel pointed out, he's always wearing a handsome black suit so he doesn't understand why it takes me so much effort to get dressed up.  Hopefully it was all worth it, I mean, don't you agree this was the mall I was meant to work at:

Every time I go there I half expect to catch Betty and Rue coming around the corner, lost in conversation, shopping bags in hand.

Miami, Miami, you've got style.

In other news about the Detective, it suddenly started raining last night so obviously:

Like really?

After I took those pictures he tried to creep and crawl in that tiny space.  I don't know where he thought he was going to get to. When I tried to pull him away to put him under the bed or in the shower where I know he feels most comfortable, he fought as hard as possible to remain "under" the cupboard.  So whatever, I left him there.

Weirdo.

I looked nice...

We had a visit from corporate today so I got myself dressed up fancy.  Glad I took this picture when I first got in, the outfit doesn't have the same appeal after you've dumped pasta sauce down the front of yourself.

The worst is that I didn't even make it to our visit before I destroyed myself.  Like the girl that I got in to a fistfight with at the Britney Spears concert in Salt Lake City Utah.  The fight happened during the Pussycat Dolls and she was escorted out before Britney even hit the stage.

And just like I'm sure Britney would have supported me standing up to the gay bashing bully in her audience, I bet she would've supported the 'sghetti sauce accents on my nice white button down.

The good news is that buttoning my jacket concealed my little accident and I made it through the visit without causing alarm.  I actually forgot that the last time this woman saw me I looked like this, so she was too focused on my hair to notice anything else.  It's crazy that I'm wearing the exact same suit in both of those pictures.  What a difference a haircut makes.

suit, haircut, gift

Lots of people at work commented on how great I looked in my suit, even though I've worn it around them all before.  Then I realized it was because this was the first time I'd worn it since I got my hair cut.

Also, please note my amazing birthday gift from Jon.  Whenever I look at it I imagine him saying, "Jonathan, I'm angry"

best threads?

This is the outfit I was sent for work.  It looks even better in person.  I'm a little scared to wear it as it's hella expensive.  I won't be gauche and say how much but I will say that outfit alone is about double my rent.  They also sent me an absurdly expensive t-shirt.

I don't necessarily feel like James Bond but I do feel I could be one of the bad guy's henchmen that grapples with James at some point midway through the movie.  Maybe I have a dagger hidden up my sleeve or something?  I don't know, we'll work on those details later.

The point is that I look the part.  I certainly got a lot of compliments today from my coworkers, including my new favorite coworker EDUARD.  He finally started downstairs, it's good to see his smiling face again.  I also got to take my break with Sarah today, so it was definitely a good day for me.

I think my new job is going to work out quite nicely.
