wrinkles
so, as some of you already know, i'm going tomorrow to the olympics in beijing with the president of the company, his wife, and the warehouse manager of all our branches. (how did i get to be this cool?!)
the boss and his wife are in town now, so, after a couple meetings, we all went out for dinner. all together, maybe 13 people. it was a lot of fun. it's amazing how wine really can pick up the moods of so many people. and there's a really cool american guy in town for the next few weeks. second only to Benji!, this guy's got fantastic sideburns.
anyway.
we were discussing what we should take to beijing, since the boss and his wife (hahah! i should call him the "millionaire, and his wife..." in reference to gilligan's island! hahahah!) have been there the last two weeks. i mentioned that all my shirts were wrinkled, as i fell asleep the other night and didn't hang them up until after they dried in a little clump. i've tried washing them again and hanging them while wet, but, each time, to no avail. so now all but two shirts are crazy wrinkled.
i mentioned that no one ever mentioned it, oddly. and then the warehouse manager (great guy. his favorite drink is a cosmo. we're going to get belgian brew next week.) said oh no, we noticed. i laughed and said oh haha.
on the car ride home, i asked the driver to drop me off early near the market, so i could buy an iron. the warehouse manager, disappointed, said i shouldn't. he said:
seeing you get into the car every morning always brightened my day, since your hair "looks so shitty" and your shirt is always so wrinkled.
hahaha. thanks, phil.
the market closed before i got there. so my shirts will continue to be wrinkled as hell.

Ahaha great story. Similarly, I've had the majority of my co-workers say to me "Will, your hair. It's always disheveled, but disheveled in the exact same way every day" or "I really like what you've started to do with your hair" and I here I am having no idea anything different was going on.
Have fun at the olympics!!!

I took a shirt to Beijing, hoping that the hotel had an iron I could borrow. I told that to my roomie, who said "what?! but your image!!
it reminded me of that simpsons where elvis costello broke his glasses ("ow! my image!")
