Day 309: Hiding Places

(For Tuesday July 1)

Apparently the lazy days of summer include for me, this year, doing the bare minimum to get to work.  I shower (feel free to thank me any time you see me), I put on clean clothes about 99% of the time, and off I go.  No make up, hair still damp or wet pulled back in a hairband.  I'm not looking all that attractive these days.  I'm feeling and being rather lazy.  I was thinking about this today as I yet again showed up to work less than professional looking and suddenly was very grateful for hiding places. I consider my desk and the area it is in as a hiding place.  I'm kind of tucked back in an odd little corner and I'm in the less busy part of our floor so I can literally hide out all day long and manage to not see most people.  And when I have no make up on and wet hair in a headband I'm awfully grateful for my desk that can hide me.  It wasn't the case at my old job (which I loved btw and still miss more than I think I should) because I was "the face", in the afternoons, of the organization because I was the front desk person.  I couldn't get away with no make up and wet hair in a headband. Not the face I wanted people to see representing the company.  I'm also grateful for my home for several reasons but one reason is because I also use my home as a hiding place in my personal life.  Because I am an introvert I need a hiding place but I really think all people should have a hiding place for the times when they need to regroup, or hide, or compose themselves, or just need a second to breathe.  What's your hiding place? How often do you use it?
