CVS really needs to create a line of cheap emergency pants. There is literally no place in downtown Boston to purchase pants or skirts before 9 AM. This is ludicrous. Does no one else ever get halfway to work and realize they only have their commuting jeans and gym sweatpants? Maybe that's just me. So I forgot my usual change of clothes for work this morning, and consequently walked all over downtown at 8 am trying to buy work pants. Alas, I had to wait until 9, and then had the misfortune of experiencing TJ Maxx, which I just do not have the skills to navigate. So now I have ill-fitting $12 pants. This is just going to be A Day.

Ugh. I'm sorry, hon. Hope the day gets better. *hugs*

Thanks!

That really sucks! But at least you found something!

(On the other hand, the phrase "emergency pants" is kind of an awesome one. We should work that into the lexicon somehow...)

Heh. I do like emergency pants. I just can't believe no one has stumbled onto this business opportunity! Seriously, package up some plain black pants in an array of sizes, sell 'em by the laundry detergent in CVS. Or at 7-11. I was seriously starting to think about whether my gym pants would pass the far-away look test.

ugh, what a pain! Yeah, TJ Maxx takes some skills and patience I for one lack, but sometimes good stuff jumps out. I'm glad you found something that would get you through the day!

Oh god, the patience required for TJ Maxx shopping kills me! I do not have it at all.

million dollar idea > "the CVS emergency pants booth" - walk in with sweats, walk out with a passable designer look, ironed and lint rolled. The techological aspect may be a bit difficult to figure out but I'm thinking a minature robotic seamstress hiding behind the curtain would work : )

I once needed an emergency lint roll when heading to a job interview in SF and realizing that I looked like hell. Mens wearhouse saved the day, though the gentleman inside was concerned I didn't know how to use a lint roller and wanted to "help" me. . . UH, thanks, but no thanks.

Get some venture capital, that is a hot idea!!

Heh. I usually use tape rolled around my hand to de-lint. A lint roller would come in handy for bunny fur.
