Older woman's clothes

A certain friend of mine had a really bad morning. She was going to work and this was the day she thought to get to work just on time, like 8.ooam-on-the-dot- on time. It was all working well until 2 minutes to eight when like they say all hell broke loose! A very huge lorry at a very reasonable speed not speeding mark you, sunk into a pothole (oh snap, forgot to mention it had rained) and made
a very beautiful graffiti piece on her outfit…and that was the beginning of a very frustrating day.

 I won’t mention all excruciating details of what she had to go through but let’s just say she spent all day in someone else’s spare clothes…an older woman’s spare clothes ,picture that. Going back home was out of the question, y’all understand those days with deadlines, that was one of them.

All I am saying is if she had spare clothes in her own bag or somewhere in her drawer, the situation would have been better. So I learnt to always to keep a set of clothes in the office, from her experience of course just to be safe. Most people remember the nitty gritties like makeup, shoes, sweaters but never a whole outfit, try it, it might save you or someone else someday. Those ‘IDP’ bags should be put to good use this time around don’t you think!

Some of you might have caught it, others not, so here it is, that certain friend of mine doesn’t
exist, it was all me…:-)  Fay JTT
