think they’d take it out now?

by

there were indications this was going to be an unusal day.
i drug myself out of bed, showered, shaved my legs (that in itself is an occasion worth mention), slipped into my alternative underwear and pulled on a skirt, tight shirt and shoes with heels. i shadowed by eyes, painted my lashes and misted myself with the delicate fragrance of raspberries. a quick check of supplies later and i was off to start my day.
two hours later i discovered i’d gotten my period.
why, gaia, do you always bless me with this reminder of my fertile womanhood when i both least expect or want it? not only have you messed up my undergarment experiment (both literally and figuratively) but ruined my nascent plans to give into carnal pleasures with those who covet them with me. why, gaia, why? you could at least send me a memo a day or two in advance!
that being said, i just snapped the head off the supervisor from another department who thought she could micro-manage me like she does her own lackeys. “i know,” i said, “i’ve been doing this job for six years.” as if i have forgotten today is a bi-weekly deadline! grr.
i think i might be a titch cranky.

    I’m almost afraid to ask what “alternative” underwear are.

    I have no fear. What the hell is “alternative” underwear? Usually in girl speak I thought that was the stuff you kept in the back of the drawer for days LIKE today. ;)
    Um, at least you’re not pregnant! :-)

    oddly, i was just starting to think about that, as i’m about a week late as it is.

    so back to the question at hand. . . what in the hell is alternative underwear? is it made of flannel and wear doc martens?
