So I had to stay late at work yesterday, and had to call my friend Becky to pick up my freshly dry cleaned Whites. I was in a rush when I got home, so I didn't have time to look at them before I went to work today. I started to get ready for the change of command that my Admiral was officiating, and when I took the jacket out of its plastic, the buttons were silver!!! I ran into my Admiral's office, and told him the horrible news. He tried to help, but to no avail...he had no extra buttons (and we were pretty sure the female uniform buttons are different than the male uniform buttons anyway). So the aide from upstairs came running down to help.
(suspense!)
When he arrived, he started messing with the buttons. After a few moments he turned to me and said, "Is this aluminum foil?" And so the day was saved!!! The dry cleaners had put aluminum foil over all the buttons to protect them! You may not have felt the terror in that story, but I sure did. My Admiral laughed pretty hard when he found out.
It has been a really busy week. But thankfully, field hockey starts tonight!
That's AWESOME
