The Work Party

Professional photographers at work parties are the best.  They help you pretend you went to Prom with your spouse.  They also help you remember forever, if you're me, that you never wear the right thing work parties.  Every year when Jake tells me to save the date, I think, "I'm going to get something to wear for that."  Then, the party sneaks up on me, and once again, I'm left scrounging around in the closet for something that isn't there.  One of my [not so] secret [anymore] fantasies is that some day I'll be a millionaire with a person who does my shopping for me.  Someone with impeccable taste, so I never end up at another work party looking like a middle school teacher who thought she was going to Back to School Night, but somehow ended up at the fanciest hotel ballroom in town.  Where everyone else had the right thing to wear.  Oh well.  Jake acted like he wasn't embarrassed to be seen with me, anyway.
