Conference Antics

December 9, 2008

I went to a conference the other month and had the misfortune of having to wear an embroidered polo shirt.  The worse of it was that we had to wear them with black work trousers, jeans fair enough we could have pulled off the look with some dignity, but embroidered polo shirts are the pits of fashion!  I think we looked like we worked in a bar rather than being marketing experts.

Then some silly promo bird decided that she didn’t like me?!  Every time she paraded past our stand she managed to smile at everyone about her, giving them free bags with nothing in them and then slyly gave me the daggers while no one was looking.

On the second day (amidst my terrible hangover) she found herself a friend.  While the pair walked past me (in tights with nothing else – except camel toe) she pointed at me saying “she’s the evil one”?!?!

Now I am only 25 and a couple of years ago was in fact a promo girl.  Never did I act like such a little diva, parading with paper bags and camel toe?!   A part of me did begin to feel crap that I was wearing my embroidered polo shirt with mismatching trousers and shoes, but then I thought I have risen above the promo work and now have a proper job with knowledge and respect.  Miss Thing just needs to get over herself!
