How to not make a complete arse of yourself.....

    I've been off sick from work for the last while and I've been slowly but surely going just a little bit mad. So today, to try and occupy the vacuous chunk of drivel tv daytime, I decided to play a little dress up.

    2 hours I spent straightening my Halloween wig and putting on layer after layer of theatrical-esque makeup. And there I was, standing in the mirror marvelling at the lady gaga staring back at me when my phone started to ring. An ever so kind colleague reminding me of the very important meeting we have at 5pm....

    So here I am, with half an hour to my meeting with a face full of what is now apparent to be extremely waterproof eyeliner in the shape of a large blue lightening bolt sprawled across my cheek :( not to mention the glitter and mascara.....

    Note to self: enrol in an evening class or summit....

    Surely if you are too sick to work (Certified as being on sick leave) you would be too sick for a meeting?

    Act like it was a fancy dress meeting and lambast your fellow employees for their lack of effort.

    I'm more worried that you chose lady gaga to dress up as. Would a zombie or something not have been a better choice?

    Well depends what's keeping you off work and how much longer have you got to stay at home for, you'd want to read a book, put in a bit of structure or something for the sake of your mental health :~)

    You have 30 minutes to get some waterproof makeup off and get to a meeting and you decide the best thing to do is go on boards?

    Some great decision making going on today. :pac:

    It was pretty evident after the first 5 minutes of frantic face scrubbing that the situation wasn't getting any better.... Managed to get half the lightning bolt off and kinda covered what was left of it with my hair :pac: Bar wearing sunglasses, nothing could be done about the black smeared panda eyes or glitter though so I looked like I'd been out partying all night....

    This is the worst "How I started cross dressing" story I've ever heard.
