Wax's Work Practice

[cimorene]

waxjism has a work practice placement in a non-profit for joint disorders. (She's in secretarial school so it's secretary practice.)

• The building is old and unairconditioned.
  

  + On the plus side, there's also no dresscode. Her coworker was wearing jean shorts.
  - Wax wore long jeans today, though. She has an irrational dislike of wearing shorts in public, even though she also thinks that 20°C (68° F) is quite hot and 24° (75°) is basically too hot to move.



• Wax carries her important paperwork around in a Batman folder. Everyone was impressed by the Batman folder, finding it "pretty" as well as finding Batman cool.


• On her first day Wax was asked to enter things into a database and apparently her speed was impressive.
  

  - But she then found that the actual (head?) secretary was entering things with only two fingers, so it's not hard to be faster than that.

Skirts and sundresses can be even cooler than shorts, maybe that would be more comfortable? In Japan the little old ladies would look very formal in long black skirts, but with the light behind them you could see that most of the length was heavy gauze.

I'm afraid skirts are out of Wax's comfort zone. She'd wear them if it were the dresscode - she refers to this as "like drag" - but couldn't choose them over shorts. Which is odd because to my knowledge in high school she went to school almost every day in a skirt she'd made out of a sheet which she dyed green herself...
