One of the amusing things about working with a bunch of male engineers is that any time I wear a skirt or dress or really anything other than jeans and a t-shirt, I get guys asking me all day what the special occasion is. Usually it is nothing and I'm just amused that they still ask me.

However, I re-injured my right shoulder this weekend hiking half dome. It's nothing serious and it is already starting to feel a lot better but yesterday the doctor put me in a sling and I realized just how difficult it is to zip up my jeans with only my left hand while trying not to move my right arm. Why do all jeans open to the right?! Today I learned my lesson and put on a skirt and again I am bombarded with questions. While it is probably not really work appropriate to tell them that it is hard to zipper up jeans without help right now, I'm finding it really difficult to resist the urge to say it.
