Yeah and you’re supposed to wear them with like a little-girl ankle sock and a mini skirt.
Regular penny loafers are back too. I had some in 1994 in college. Not sure they fit in with my look now, but at least they are a flat shoe that’s business-friendly.
The good news is ballet flats are back in fashion 😭
We have hot-desking so we can’t keep anything in the office. I guess there are lockers, but it’s all just too much.
Well then just ask the questions under the same effing name.
This week was our first week of “Dynamic Working” lol, which is where you get assigned 1 week per month and during that week you’re required to go in at least 3 days. I did M-W and holy shit how exhausting now to go to the office 3 days in a row. It was super crowded, they didn’t have the Covid boosters I was hoping they’d have in the clinic, I got no work done, and my boss was in an absolute tizzy about something unrelated. Also, they assigned us to all different floors to sit, and even my 2 direct reports were on a different floor than me. One of them went in Friday, which, kind of smart, but he said they were, no shit, having a carnival. He got his caricature done, and a headshot. They were giving flu shots too, but again no bivalent Covid boosters, wtf. I will say, I had some valuable in-person meetings, and everyone enjoys Buffalo Chicken Wednesday, but overall it was an ordeal. Real shoes are just not a thing anymore for me. Each pair I wore ripped up my feet in a different way. One of my reports wore dress shoes one day and he got horrible blisters. The next day he couldn’t even wear sneakers without Bandaids.
Oh yeah, I could not be without my paper planner!
Was it your laptop charger?
A little girl with a tote that says Slay would be adorable.
Well this person is a longtime friend, not just a coworker, but I agree!
We have never worked at the same place before. Today I was on the 2nd floor looking at the snacks and I heard her voice. I whipped around and my lips were pursed to yell “biiiiitch!” But you can’t do that there, and she was with two women on her team. She told me she was going to yell bitch at me too and had to stop herself.
There’s a vogue article too. It says they will do up to 10 characters and not profane, so they’d probably do F Off or Eff Off.

This is timely, I went to work today and saw my friend who I helped get a job there. She’s like, “I have a present for you,” and it was a bag! It’s the absolute ideal work bag for me because it’s a preppy LL Bean tote, with the green handles which are my company’s color, and it has “Finance” embroidered on it in pink script 😭. I took my tote organizer right out of my other bag and put it in this one and it fit perfectly. I’m so happy with it! It can be a beach bag too.
I have a ridiculous yellow cap that says Finance on it, so she knew I would like this bag.
We had this conversation about bum bags / belt bags in 2020 and BGM was all, you women are so stupid! Those bags are ugly!
I’m not missing him.
Yeah… we are moving into the next phase where we’re now required to come in 3 days out of one week per month. Whichever week your team is assigned, you have to come in 3 days of that week. Previously it was all optional. It’s so exhausting now to go in, when it used to be nbd.
