dress
so the receptionist at work today wore a dress. not unusual. it was a really nice dress. kind of a dark silky blue. short. but not too short for the work environment. okay, maybe a little too short given that this building is full of geeks. she had put her hair up in a tight little bun. and wore heels. she looked for all the world like a flight attendant. a first class flight attendant. so here's my dilemma. how do i say you look great? cause she did. she'd immediately get suspicious of that implied *but*. and i'd have to spill the beans about how i've seen that dress on a galactic world virgin airlines seat belt video. and that might not go over so well. and she'd never wear that dress to work again. which would make 100 dorks very unhappy with me.
