Actually, I’m kind of wishing that instead of Saying “Work it Out, Wednesday,” my Wednesday undies said, “Hump Day Wednesday.” The things we sacrifice for the sake of alliteration…

If only! I had the misfortune once, of wearing some of my “cutest”, less used underwear. Only to be told (in a later argument with the guy who saw them), that they were indicative I was “too girly”.

Well, actually, it wasn’t a misfortune, as the guy was/is an idiot.. But I didn’t feel great at the time. Keep in mind, what he was calling “childish, girly” underwear, was VS’s “Body by Victoria” underwear.

He is clearly unsuitable as a human being.

Days of the Week underwear are AWESOME.

Oh, I understand. I stopped by the 99 Cents Only Store to get some notebooks, and all they had in stock were the Hannah Montana series. When I look over notes during meetings now I can assure my colleagues that I consult with only the highest authority.

Let that be a lesson to you. Hold out for the Justin Bieber office supplies at all cost!

There are Britney Spears mugs in the communal breakroom. (I _refuse_ to drink out of them. Pretty sure I’d get herpes from them, somehow.) My boss’s boss got them for our office, and that right there tells you everything you need to know about my job.

So what will they think if she wears Tuesday’s underwear on _Monday_?  
OK, bad example, because in that case they’ll think she’s had a Case of The Monday’s and couldn’t put on the right underwear at the beginning of the work week. Go with Thursday’s underwear on Wednesday, as the question.

So, when did they stop making Sunday underwear for those sets? I’ve had two sets of those (it was a long time ago, people) and they were both sets of seven. Friday was red, Saturday was black, and Sunday was white, with blue lettering. The rest of them varied, but those were the same in both.
