I Miscalculated

I miscalculated my coworkers' reaction to something. Namely, a pair of these:

Last summer I wore a pair of fisherman's sandals to the office now and then. This caused a bit of a stir - somewhere between distaste and outrage - for reasons I still don't understand.

So when I got these clogs, I figured the same people in the office - mainly Mister P - would Freak Out when I wore them. I was expecting spluttering hysteria, I tell you. Spluttering! I was looking forward to the spectacle.

Not so much of a spectacle there, as it turned out. I wore them three or four times before I finally pointed them out to Mike. He didn't think anything of them one way or the other, good or bad. They did not trouble him in the least. Go figure.

I may have been wrong about that, but I was right about one thing - the clog, it is a comfy shoe.
