Do you take your shoes off at work?
Another old nestie with a new name.
Re: Shoes
sometimes I will take them off at my desk, but I don't walk around with them off. And I will typically slip them back on quickly if someone comes in to talk to me. I don't take off shoes that I have to reach down and use my hands to get them off - anything that ties, boots that zip, etc.
I used to be in a cubicle next to a guy who would take his shoes off and walk around in socks all day. Our secretary made a policy that she would not help him and he couldn't enter her cube unless he was wearing shoes.
My Ovulation Chart
I had no idea that anyone did this, and I am thoroughly grossed out.
So, that's a no. haha
This is me exactly.
If you keep your shoes on at all times, how do you sit at your desk? Up straight with your feet flat on the floor all the time?
*sitting Indian style with bare feet and laughing about grossing out Jen and Madisen*
My shoes are off right now. I pretty much always have on flats or heels and if I'm sitting at my desk they're off me feet. I have an old recycling can under my desk that I use as a foot rest.
I have walked a few steps from my desk barefoot but I wouldn't go too far. It doesn't gross me out at all.
*roll eyes* cross my legs at the knee, at the ankles, feet flat on the floor, feet up on a stoll under my desk, soooo many options really.
Yeah, sitting indian style at work with shoes off def does weird me out! No problem with it whatsoever at home, but it just seems really bizarre. Like I wouldn't pick my teeth with a toothpick at my desk either. lol
I might slip my feet out of my shoes to give them a quick breather if I have on backless shoes. I would never get up and walk around without them on though. My feet don't smell like roses so I certainly wouldn't want to subject anyone to that!
I really wanted to take off my shoes at childbirth class last night, but again, I didn't want to offend anyone.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

Yep. I totally slip off my shoes under my desk. I sit indian style in my chair. Granted, if I see someone coming, I'll sit up properly.
Yeah exactly. It's under my desk and no one just walking by can see. It's not like I'm sitting all folded up spinning in circles in my desk chair down the hallway.
ETA: And just to reiterate, this is never anywhere outside of my little office. I don't even walk around in here without shoes. Not even a step. I just take them off when I'm sitting most of the time if I'm by myself.
