Today's lesson

If your tights seem a little baggy just a few minutes after you put them on at 6 am, perhaps you ought to consider changing into something else before you drive 90 minutes to work.

Otherwise, a few short hours later you will find yourself almost entirely unable to carry on a conversation with the (new and high-powered) director of marketing because your tights are slipping down your thighs while you walk and talk. And by the time you get to your destination, your tights will be gathered at your knees, making it very difficult to move.

The only saving grace: it was a calf-length skirt.
