NYPD Called; They Want their Equipment Back

Tonight I'm getting on a plane to fly 1,029 miles to Minnesota, and when I step off the plane I am being shuttled to the Metrodome to a Twins game. Of course, as a girl, this presents several problems not the least of which is WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR ON THE PLANE!? It has to serve the initial function of looking cute upon arrival, as well as looking practical i.e not overdressed for a baseball game but therefore cute enough to look somewhat human and fashionable when we go out to the bars afterwards. I know I know, my life is sooo difficult.

So during this fashion emergency I called in some of my coworkers to help me make the decision. I tried on three different outfits and listened as they sounded off with their opinions. Have I mentioned that I LOVE MY JOB! Anyway, the final vote was for skinny jeans and a navy vest however, this decision only came after the comments about the vest "not serving a purpose" were discussed, argued against and discussed some more; we then called for backup and discussed again. The guy who stated this is also the same guy who wears plaids that don't match and black shoes with blue pants. But I digress. In the end there were eight people gathered outside my office voicing their votes for what I should or should not wear and the pros to each outfit. The comment about fashion over function eventually came to a hilarious end when someone said:

"The only thing you need to know about a vest is does it protect your heart and is it bulletproof."
