2005-11-02, 09:25 AM — an ear with which to hear
My left ear is blocked entirely this morning, thanks to what my doctor calls "incredibly tiny ear canals." It means I can't hear anything out of that side except a loud ringing, which I have to say is throwing me off. Everything feels a little out of balance.
In a strange way, in fact, I kind of feel like I can't see properly because I can't hear properly. Driving in to work this morning was very wierd, because I'm sure I was seeing things the way I normally do, but I felt like my peripheral vision was cut out or something, because I couldn't hear.
Anyways. Time to deal with it. I've been putting it off because the goop I'm supposed to put in my ear to clean it reeks like ... well, it's an interesting, unique smell. Not in a good way, really. But I think it's time to buckle down and sniff the medicine.

Oh, the vagaries of high-heeled shoes. I've started wearing them to work, thanks to the fact that I think I look fabulous in them and I've discovered that I can walk in them.
Of course, that's only so long as my feet allow. They're beginning to hurt. A lot. Foot pain isn't something I've had to worry about before (sensible flat shoes don't cause it) and I'm not sure I like it.
It occurs to me that most women who wear heels every day probably have to deal with aching feet every day. I guess it's something one just gets used to. But why? Really? I mean, it's just a look...
BUT a damn sexy one. Or if not sexy, at least professional. Dressy. I think these shoes make me look (and feel) like I mean business. Maybe tight, uncomfortable heels are the reason most business women get really cynical and sour. I wonder if Martha Stewart has to wear heels.

The internet was down at work today for a while. It led me to discover just how dependent I am on it, even though my job barely requires that I use it. I spent the morning feeling like a major part of my day was missing -- which in a way it was, as I wasn't able to talk to (or harrass) fishy every few minutes. I kept ALT-TABing into nothing.
Surprisingly, I think I was less productive when there was no internet than I usually am when there is.
