Poll-building!

Okay. It's only 10 a.m. and already I'm snarling at well-meaning people here at work, innocently asking what happened to my foot. The whiteboard culture is pretty firmly established here, so I think I'll use it to deflect some of those questions.

I'd like to post three or four reasons to answer the question: Why is Nikki wearing a boot on her foot?

a. too much butt-kicking
b. unfortunate error in performing the "Safety Dance"
c. celebrating "Walk Like a Pirate" day
d. it's Manolo Blahniks or nothing, baby
3. conducting a study on sympathy-related behaviors in the workplace

Oh, LJ...help me fill in the blanks!

last one...
"Hobbling is being explored as a way to improve her morale and use her as a disciplinary example"
well, it works with my personality, and the sense of humor of the people _I_ work with. Your milage may vary.

mileage, dammit.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

That's a good one!

The boot is a placeholder to keep the foot dry while retaining an open footwear slot should a fabulous Manolo Blahnik be found mateless on the side of the road?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Ha! Manolos or bust! er, boot!

But...the first answer is so good. Why do you need more?

d. Doing a study on sympathy-related behaviors in the workplace.
e. Preparing for audition in upcoming Frankenstein movie, one body part at a time.
f. Highly classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

i like the safety dance one! gosh, i hated wearing the boot when my left foot developed a fracture in the metatarsal, so i feel for you.

Injury from kicking people for asking the question?

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

OH, I like your answers!

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

oh! I like that first one.

[rebeccafiddler.livejournal.com]

I vote safety dance...

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

It's been interesting to see who gets that one. :)

I'm tempted to put up "rolled a 1" or something D&D related (maybe about moving silently?), just to see who laughs.

I'm a big fan of b), actually.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

That's my personal favorite. :)
