I did something strange yesterday

It's actually pretty simple, but I've only done it a handful of times in my entire working life. I did not take a shower yesterday, yet worked two jobs. My routine is to shower before doing anything work-related. Yesterday, I was running late, and didn't shower before heading to my friend's preschool. Then, I taught my evening psychology class. I did put more "professional" looking clothes on before teaching the class, but never did find the time to shower. Is there something comparable in your life (make-up, for some females) that you "have" to do before facing a professional day? Of course, nobody noticed that I didn't shower.

I hope that you took a shower before posting this because I do not want to get my eyes dirty.

I can't remember if I took a shower before or after writing this. Funny--one of the littlies I work with had horrific stinky feet today.

@Marilynda1225 Heh. @Asylum need not worry. My natural scent is of ambrosia and nectar.

Yes my hair. Its super curly so it has to be wet to brush. There are some days that I am in a hurry or its to cold here, since its long I pull it up into a sloppy bun and go. I cannot tell you the times that woman have said they love my hair .... I would sort of die inside knowing it has not been brushed. So yes stinky we all do some things sometimes.

It's funny how we perceive ourselves differently from how others perceive us.

@TheHorse As it's just about to become the start of my professional day I'm drinking one now. I'm actually becoming worried I'm getting addicted as I definitely don't feel up for working without that first coffee.

I'm brewing one now. I did manage that, even yesterday.

I usually take two showers a day just to get rid of sleepiness working at home.

I did manage to wash my face. But that was about it.

Yesterday is my most difficult day, since I work at 8:30 AM and then teach an evening class at 7 PM.

Did you put a lot of deodrant on to cover up that you did not shower? I wear my contacts at certain times.

I work at home and now that I am on my own no one cares what I look like or what I do and right now I think that is great.

We become so habituated, obsessively so at times, about personal hygiene. Then again, mass transit systems are a veritable cacophony of odours, some of which can be rather rank...

Street people that haven't haven't showered in months are attracted to me on rancid transit, as I don't look mean. Sitting next to them can be pretty traumatic, especially if they turn and speak to me.

I have to start my day with a shower even if I'm not going anywhere. It's my first step in waking up and then coffee!

On weekends I often don't bother.

Nope; I is what I is. If I got fancied up and went somewhere I usually go, people probably wouldn't know who the heck I was. @TheHorse .

@TheHorse Well you know; we gotta impress you guys. I just do it with my humor and brilliance.

As soon as I get home from anywhere I have to wash my face free of make-up, if I've worn any, and change into 'home' clothes. Does that count?

I'd say that counts. I DID shower this morning.

Hot water is not working at my parents', so I didn't shower in the morning when I woke up like I usually do, but I did after the gym so it worked out :)

Whew. I think all MyLotters are required to shower at least every other day. It's in the very small print.

My lap was still a desirable commodity. I don't think they noticed.
