Am I Famous Now…

Last year when I was at the company I was the rebel who refused to wear a suit, although I worked in a pretty high department and every one in our department also was a shift leader. And the company is rather conservative.
Most of time I wore anything, but this time is different. I love summer because even casual wear can be stylish and I must admit that Gianni, or now Donatella, is my best friend in summer. But in Fall and Winter I lean more towards Giorgio and occasionally also Hugo (orange), but latter more to attend parties.

Since my return, every day I have worn a suit and I must admit that I collected quite some compliments from people who don’t know me that much. The ones who do, they know that it still is me and that in my case the suits don’t make me. Or do they? Am I not dancing on behind my desk anymore when the beats pump through the floor? Have I turned soft because of the suits? Forget it.

But this morning I was amazed. Several meetings were planned today and I had to be present. Just as I have to every other day this week. [insert female GAH!]

I came back after a short shopping break and walked to our floor. Because of the help desk located in the building there are plenty of women, but in last months several women have joined the tech department. Much to my joy, although several among them didn’t like me too much last year. I was just an

… asshole.

But today, as I walked towards the meeting room, I heard two women heavily involved in the latest round of gossip.

Hot blonde : Do you know what this meeting is about?
Really hot brunette : No. Do you know if that hot guy who joined us is attending?
Hot blonde : Who?
Really hot brunette : That guy that came back. The one who always wears designer suits. I like him [insert cheeky female grin]

At that moment I joined the conversation :

Oh… and I thought I was just an asshole. Strange how clothes change the woman.
See you at the meeting.
Laters.

Isn’t it fun to work in a building with lots of Sex In The City Babes?

And yes I will continue blogging. If I lose the contract… bad luck.
