The wages of incompetence

[ladyofastolat]

Yesterday I had to go early into town to do a few things, one of which was emergency shoe-shopping. I find shoes boring, and shoe-shopping even worse, so I tend to have a single pair of everyday, everything shoes. A few days ago, my current everything shoes fell apart in several dramatic and simultaneous ways. Even a prop-wrangler seeking a costume

Yay! for discounts on shoes, and hope for the procrastinators among us. :-)

Well there you go, sometimes it's a good thing to be forgetful and tardy! :D

I like your userpic :-)

Thank you! Loved that quote so much, it just had to go on an icon!

EDIT: And should you wish to use it yourself, that's fine, just credit me. It's too good not to share with others! :)

Thank you! :-)

My bank suggested I move money from my savings accounts into investments. I didn't get around to it. This was just before the '08 crash. From which I conclude that not getting around to doing things may be the wisest strategy.

Skordh was very taken with the story about the man who intended to bet the fairly reasonable bet that Man U would beat MK Dons in a certain match by 4 goals to nil, but filled the form in wrongly, so that when MK Dons actually won 4-0 he won really quite a lot of money. As he said, it is very nice to hear a story about incompetence being rewarded. Thank you for providing a corroborating example :-)
