I started my new job on Monday - and part of the whole "getting out of my comfort zone" thing meant that I was going to be taking the train to work. It's approximately a 45 minute train ride - which is enough time to observe several things about people, train travel and life.
I find it entertaining to watch people while I'm riding the train. However I don't always watch people's facial expressions - I find their footwear fascinating. You can tell a lot about a person from the kind of shoes they wear on the train. I've realised there a 3 kinds of people - well women, because men don't wear heels.
1. Women who don't really care what their shoes look like - as long as they are comfortable and can wear them all day long.
2. Women who care what they look like at work - but either have to walk long distances or prefer to be comfortable on the train - therefore wear sneakers or thongs.
3. People who constantly care what they look like and so wear painstakingly high or uncomfortable shoes on the train.
I am yet to decide which kind of person I will be - I started off as a 3 type of person, as most women probably do and have now become a mix of both 1 & 2. I think however after a month of changing over my shoes in the lift thing - I'll probably end up as a 1. And buy some ugly flat shoes.
