Ever wondered why…

…the only people who look good working out in a gym are the ones who don’t need to
…when you’re late for work and park in the first available spot (a mile away) – you see a vacant spot right by the building’s entrance
…your cube at office looks like a Martha Stewart showpiece but your living room always looks like the scene of a major hurricane
…you never have anywhere to go / anyone to meet when you’re having a “good hair day” (ditto for “great skin day”)
…the one day you decide to indulge in “comfort food” at the cafeteria is the day you run into everyone you know
...just when you think you have men all figured out, they bowl you over with something totally unexpected
…your manager *always* stops by your desk when you’re taking your first break of the day to browse the net (after 4 hours of non-stop work)
…the cute skirt that made you look great in the store’s trial room makes you look fat in real life
…the prettier your shoes are, the more uncomfortable they are to walk in
…the day you wear that new jacket is the day you spill mustard all over yourself
…in spite of all this, life still is a blast?!

Firstly, am glad that you're blogging regularly now..

And I have got to say, I was just making my own list of "ever wondered why" when I saw ur post this afternoon!! And every single point in it is soooo true!! The parking space one esp, and also the good hair day one, and also the break in offiec one.. oh hell, all of them! :-))

I also wonder about how as soon as your mind knows there is a big event coming up, the good hair and great skin decide to vanish so that everyone ends up telling you to "do this, do that" for yourself, while all these months you were looking just fabulous!!

I particularly believe in the comfort food bit! I've always wondered why people don't let you enjoy your comfort food in comfort?

I loved the line "the prettier your shoes are, the more uncomfortable they are to walk in". On that same note, why is it the higher the heel, the more I need to buy the shoe?

Brandy,
Your comment came at the perfect time - I'd just come back from a meeting, settled into my chair and kicked off my high heels...

i just sat through an 8 hour work seminar (it totally changed my outlook on life. no kidding) only to discover my hair was sticking up on end all day. why, why, why would noone tell me?
