Currently I'm out of my department doing rotational attachments to other departments so as to glean how their operations work in tandem with ours. Technically, I'm still working but it's not exactly work.
Naturally, rotation of departments means a change of uniform whenever I move to various departments. That's when the problem comes in. My own set of uniform (of my own department) is tailor made for me as I seem to have the hands of a gorilla and the legs of a giraffe. And I'm talking about the length here, not the amount of hair.
Thus, fitting me for the uniforms of other department proves to be a challenge. The uniform room can't possibly tailor make the various uniform for me since it doesn't make money sense when I will be in each department for less than a week.
The next best thing – uniform snatching.
I'm not talking about ripping the uniform off someone if it fits me and leaving them naked. Or semi-naked, always assuming they are wearing under-clothing.
I'm talking about borrowing the uniform (that fits me) of people on long leave or who had just resigned. Otherwise, I will have to end up wearing suits and shirts one size bigger. Add on a sunflower in my suit pocket, a red nose and a pair of big-toed shoes, I will qualify as the company clown.
The first snatching was a moderate success. I had the suit of someone who recently left the company. However, the sleeve length still runs slightly short for both the suit and shirt. It isn't too bad so long I keep my hands either in my pockets or behind my back.
Then again, there are always the chances of people misconstruing me hiding my hands while scratching certain parts of my body. Oh well, I can't really have a win-win situation here. Hopefully the next uniform will be more fitting.
