New me

Well, I went out yesterday and bought some new duds for my interview. I needed a new suit jacket since it's been 20 years or so since I'd worn one. I went to my favorite large mens store. I tried some on until I found my size, and then tried some more on until I found one that I didn't split seams when I flexed my biceps. I gotta say it looks pretty sharp, even though it doesn't look like me. I've recently bought pants and shirt, so those were set. I also then got caught up looking at ties. Now with a new suit, I needed a new tie... duh! Actually glad I did, when I got home my old ties, while fine, looked short. And geeky me actually looked up on the web how to tie a Windsor knot (Turns out that what I've been doing all my life is a 4-in-Hand.) Actually the one I prefer is actually a mistake I made when I tried the Half-Windsor. Call it a Modified Half-Windsor. Looks better, but doesn't come untied neatly.) I may have wife take pix of me tomorrow for me to post. I discovered one other thing: Clothes manufacturers don't make suits for large men. They make big suits, but they're just larger versions of puny guys suits. We wear clothes differently, and they haven't got a clue.

Tomorrow, I think I'm going to go out and update my professional website, put on the Morrie pics, etc. I also need to get sleep tomorrow night. But my work list is: finish compiling my Morrie stuff to take to the committee, put a touchup on my shoes, finish taking all those damned tags and stitchings out of my new jacket. I should also take a few extra copies of my resume, shouldn't I. Does it show that I'm nervous? I'm too old for this shit.

p.s. For some reason Blogger is having issues with my Netscape browser (granted, I'm using a dinosaur version of it, 7.2, but it's worked fine until recently. Now, as I log in, Netscape shuts down. Entirely. I'm having to log in and compose in IE, and I hate IE.). Maybe while I'm out tomorrow, I'll upgrade it. grrr.
