"What not to wear." Maybe? Maybe not.

I go directly from the hospital (with my mom) to work each weekday morning. As a result, each weekday morning, my appearance has declined a little.

I may have taken it too far today, when I didn't even change into my work clothes (I do have them with me) and I just came on in "as is". As I was walking from the garage, I noticed a panhandler of some sort ahead of me on the sidewalk. While he stopped other people to ask for money, he passed right by me without any acknowledgement whatsoever.

I hope your mom is feeling better!

Am I really the first commenter? The day I delurk? LOL

When people start randomly handing you money, you might think about a shower or something.

Or, not. Your call.

I think you have a good excuse, and hey, if people want to hand you money, who are you to refuse them, right?

not to worry - you're doing okay, he didn't hold his nose as you passed

Oh that's funny! Pretty bad how people judge by appearance.

You should have taken a better look, maybe it was the Hospital Administrator. :-)

Would someone handing you free money be a BAD THING? I'm thinking not!

As peculiar as this comment might seem: And here's the weather report for Ann Arbor, MI: 36F, mostly cloudy, 76% humidity, winds 8 mph WNW, and most importantly! the barometric pressure is 30.16 and rising. Have a great day and thanks for your visits and comments!

Hope your mom is doing better, Busy Mom

Maybe he thought you were on his turf.

I think you're onto something there, Mom.

That could be good, that could be bad.

He just could tell your thoughts were elsewhere, that's all! I'm sure you looked fabu.

I think everyone has had those days. I know I have. :)

Maybe you can start picking up a little cash on the side! You know, to pay for those CDLs. Mmmmmm.

At least he didn't ask you where the begging "hot spots" are!

Oh dear... when the bum doesn't think you appear to be able to help him....

Perhaps a bit more mascara?

YOu mean that the dress code for Casual Monday doesn't include pajama pants?

I hope Busy Grandma is feeling better soon!

As long as you aren't wearing big fuzzy slippers and carrying a paper bag with a bottle of MD 20/20 I think you are still within the boundaries of appropriate business casual. Hope this week gets better for you!

Did someone say MD 20/20 ???

Oooh.... That's gotta hurt! :D

Hmmm...camouflage. Good idea!

Hope to hear some better news about your mom soon.

I'd save the worrying until he starts offering YOU a handout.
