Quick Fixes

When you get a run in your tights at work...

Of course you aren't a responsible woman who keeps clear nail polish at your desk, so what do you do?  Grab the nearest roll of packing tape and wrap it completely around your leg.  It will keep that run together so that you keep your tights and you won't freeze.  Will it be noticeable to all? Of course.  Will it make funny crunch sounds as you walk down the hall? Oh yeah. 


When you spend the first 15 minutes of your lunch break outside in the cold dealing with bank stuff...

Of course you now don't have time to hit the gym like planned, so what do you do?  You come back to your desk, hide behind the inevitable stack of books on your desk, and watch PLL on Hulu for the rest of your "lunch."  Is it embarassing you love this ABC Family show so much?  Certainly.  Does this in any way stop you from writing on a fellow PLL lover's Facebook wall afterward about your new "A" suspect ideas? In no way.


When the mean girl at the gym runs by you to take the last eliptical at the gym.  Again...

Of course you can't push her off the machine so she falls in a comical way like you want, so what do you do?  You go to the bike and shoot her a "whatever, I really wanted to bike" look.  That will show her.  You then get out the copy of Mika Brzezinski's Knowing Your Value: Women, Money, and Getting What You're Worth.  Will this mean you will learn how to be an empowered woman who doesn't let others bring you down?  Probably not.  Will this give you something to do so you get in a longer, more sucessful cardio than the mean girl?  Heck yeah.
