Noticing the year: 01/28/08

[urbpan]

This morning I noticed that it was still dark when I left for work. It was only dark at night in Antigua. I also noticed that it was really hard to cram my feet into my boots--did they shrink? did my feet expand in the tropical warmth and humidity? Or does wearing boots just suck? Lastly, I noticed that it's much harder for me to breathe here: only one nostril works at a time, and my nose is full of delightful chunks. (Refer to cottonmanifesto's post from today for further complaints.)

Yea it's dark everyday I go to work...very sad...at least it isn't dark when I get home or I would be suicidal...:P
Maybe your feet DID expand!!! OMG crazy...I like my boots, what kind do you have? I have law enforcement service boots, they are the comfy...:)
That sucks it's hard to breathe. I would feel bad but you were just in a tropical paradise and I find it hard to sympathize, hahahahah...;)

I have weird looking Doc Marten steel toe hiking boots that I bought because I walk funny (I overpronate). They're pretty comfortable, but heavy. I need "motion control" shoes.

yeah, I don't expect people to feel bad for me! :P

Oh I see...that sounds kind of sucky, you can't really help it...:P
Heavy shoes to me are uncomfortable. I had steel toed boots when I worked at Kragen because I dealt with heavy crap like batteries and car parts...
But now since I do a lot of running, we have to have water proof lighter boots, service boots...
What are "motion control" shoes?
HAHAHA...;)

What's the opposite of overpronating? (Antinating?) I dunno about walking, but when I stand it tends to be with the right foot rolled outwards so I'm not standing flat. Apparently I've done this forever, but I've only noticed in the last few months.
