Tuesday Quote Plus Post

*******
The reason I am able to post today is because I didn't go to Tuesday ladies' night. I worked late today. Well, not really worked late. I just spent some extra time at work today. If you didn't already know, May is bike month and this week is ride your bike to work week. So, today I rode my bike to work. The riding part is no big deal. I live 2 miles away from work and it took me 10 minutes to get there at average 12mph. It took me longer to gear up than to ride. Since I wasn't going far, I didn't wear any bike shorts, just my baggy capries. Wearing "not cycling shorts" made me feel like something out of Quicksilver. Well, almost. The pink jersey and pink socks kind of takes away from the toughness ;)

Once I got to work, I had to get "presentable" for work. This was the hard part. I don't know how female bike commuters do it. I could sure use some pointers. The complex my office is located isn't commuter friendly- no showers, no plugs in the ladies' room. I had to learn that one the hard way as I was trying to plug-in my flat iron. And guess who wasn't wearing ANY makeup today? That would be me (>_<). To encourage us employees in this endeavor, the bosses that be relaxed the dress code for all participants- hence the capries. (Am I even spelling that right?) Under normal circumstances, I would have to be professionally dressed. I would consider commuting more often if I thought that I could clean up suffient enough without smelling sweaty or looking all wrinkled. For office days I could be good with that. Days I have to go to hospitals or path labs, it wouldn't work out.
