It’s open season…

Thanks to my position in foods at the ‘big box’ store, I am prohibited from wearing jewelry of any sort including my…

Wedding ring.

Talk about feeling naked.

Unfortunately, my lack of a wedding band signals the world to my ‘singleness’. And -

Either a.) I have become more significantly attractive since I married my sweetheart

Or

b.) Guys think my hair net, my plastic gloves, and my knee length apron are hot.

Maybe I have a way with words. For instance, perhaps some appreciate the way I say, ‘Would you like a churro for only a dollar more?’ or ‘Our foods are made with only the finest ingredients.’

Riiight. I’m with ya. The answer is:

c.) My city is full of desperate men.

But in other news – my self confidence is way up.

Well… as much as it can be. I do, after all, wear a hair net, plastic gloves, and an apron.

I received a letter today from a local city saying I had passed the testing requirements and would be the first to interview when a position came available and I couldn’t help but wonder…

When the heck did I apply for that job?

Ah. The fabulous life of the ‘kinda’ unemployed.

I love the way you write - you go for it and you will be rewarded!

If you are happy in general and happy in your relationship, that makes others perceive you as more attractive and desirable. You radiate “desirable” waves.

I am guesssing also that you are way underrating your desirability in general.

You could try putting the ring on a chain around your neck, or just thank them for the compliment if/when propositioned and then say you are married!

You are also in a retail environment and interact with more people than in your former job, I would guess. That’s a factor too.

Because of the machinery, we can’t wear necklaces. I’ve decided to simply talk about my husband at work… at lot. It solves some of the issues. ; )

Thanks Jan!!
