Watching NCIS, and giggling

[krait]

I mean this in a completely nonsexual way, but: Abby Sciuto? She can offer to show me her mass spectrometer ANY. TIME. [/sciencegeekery]

I am also quite envious of her collar, and saying that's not my usual sort of accessory is putting things mildly. But it's just so interesting, with the spikes and the triple loops! I've never seen one like it, and I really like it!)

Oh, it's not dress code, at least not any more since I left the police. We have several full-time goths here, but I don't really have a desk job like they do. (Take a look at my profile, where I describe what I do/did for living *g*)

In my case it involves running around in storage a lot and especially lots of heavy lifting. Boxes, stacks of books, things like this. A beautiful outfit like Abby's short skirts and stockings, her leather cuffs and her jewellery would not only be impractical but also in risk of damage. I have to repair/replace the band of my watch all the time, for example, but I kind of feel naked without a watch.

So I mostly stick to black jeans, band/festival/goth t-shirts, Doc Martens and no jewellery except earrings.

Ah. Yep, same problem I have -- all the jobs I've done have been dirty, physical jobs in many ways, so no way could I wear expensive leather accessories or delicate fabrics. Even sturdy cheap t-shirts were ruined over time in the places I've been employed.
