![]() I think it’s about how put together you look head to toe. I’d wear this color to meet anybody, even the leader of the free world. ![]() I wear them very short bc that’s how my nails look best. right now and my gel nails are a subdued mid-tone berry-wine color that I’m loving for fall. And yet… Here I sit, bugged.ĭoes anyone else think it’s a lot sad and a little ridiculous that we’re all having this conversation in 2013? I get that it takes all kinds to make a world. I understand that not everyone believes that teachers should exert control in the classroom. I understand that not everyone is a member of the Punctuality Community. It bugs me that this bugs me, but… it bugs me. I just received her recap talking all about the great time SHE had with the children, completely omitting the fact that I was even there. It is customary for the lead teacher to send an email to the parents describing the day, including who taught and who assisted. I truly think I was gracious and… helpful. Not how I would have done it, but it was my job to assist and assist I did. This past Sunday she was the lead teacher and I was the assistant, and I smiled and nodded, and let her lead the class her way. She is always late, she forgets materials and leaves out parts of the morning routine, she lets the children (4th and 5th graders) pretty much do whatever they want, at the expense of getting the morning’s lesson done. Lovely woman, but perhaps a bit… scattered. ![]() Two of the other ladies are great, but the third is, shall we say, super different than I. This is great because each person only has to lead once a month and assist once a month. We are a team of four, and each Sunday one of us leads the class and another of us assists. Threadjack: Help me cope with a volunteer gig that is driving me nuts! I volunteered to help teach Sunday School at my new church as a way of getting involved and meeting people. But for fall I love deep purples and plums. I can never get polish to last on my hands for more than a day or two. So… back to my usual fall/winter go-to of Wicked for these weeks :) – Feeling rebellious and low risk of client meetings – the other week I tried navy (Essie’s Schoolboy Blazer or something similar) which I loved, but probably won’t do again because my fall/winter wardrobe is more gray and black based, so I felt compelled to invent navy touches in my outfits to coordinate. If I’m careful, I get only miniscule chips on the corner of a finger or two by the end of Thursday… but usually take off the color by Friday morning to avoid tacky visible chips at work. – Regular week with some meetings, but mostly my normal coworkers – in summer, a berry or bright red (Lollipop), and in fall/winter, either gray (Chinchilly), brown/gray (Hot Cocoa), or plum (Recessionista). – Lots of client meetings in upcoming week, especially if more towards Weds/Thurs/Fri – pale pink (one coat of Sugar Daddy and one coat of Mademoiselle)… better safe than sorry re: conservative clients and the risk of a little chip appearing. Here’s my rules, because I love nail polish and am senior enough that I don’t have to worry about making a first impression based on nail color: I get manicures on Saturdays and work in Biglaw.
