i wonder if anyone else wishes that they could just wear a uniform to work? although i love clothes, and looking cool, i hate, absolutely hate, having to decide what to wear to work every morning...esp, because it forces me to have to think just as i get up, eyes barely open. it's hard enough to get up and do the routine non-thinking things (i almost put toothpaste on my contact lenses instead of the contact lens solution this morning...that would have hurt!), let alone to have to think of what matches what, and do i want to wear a skirt or pants today? what is the weather going to be like, will it be warmer so a skirt is fine. i didn't do the laundy for a couple of days so what clothes do i have left to choose from anyway? did i wear that outfit recently? blah, blah, blah...
it would be so nice to have to wear a nice uniform, go in the closet, through it on...maybe in different colors to have some variety to choose from, because i really do hate monotony.

have you guys ever looked at the bbc's asian life message board? one of the threads today is someone talking about why 'aunties' feel an urget to play matchmaker, even though they meet you on the bus, and ask you a few questions. apparently all the lady asked was of what area of india/pakistan/bangladesh/sri lanka he is from, and what he does for a living...and then boom, he was getting an invitation to meet the daughter of a friend of hers. he is flattered, but wonders what would happen if he was some sort of psychopath...isn't the 'aunty' being a little nutty for matching a stranger up with a daughter of a friend?
i had encountered this also, when i was single. i think that 'aunties' just like to play matchmaker and it is flattering because they think that you are good enough for their son, nephew, or whomever...but i, of course, am more cautious, for i didn't know anything about them or the men that they told me about, and could not take the word of a nice 'aunty'. but is this way any worse or better than online dating, or meeting via a real aunt or uncle? i don't know. i did wonder then if i was giving up on 'the man' of my dreams', by not following up with the 'aunties'? (well i am happily married now so all that doesn't matter of course)
