Friday.
The traditional ‘Casual Friday’. Usually reserved for the upper management wankers wandering around in their designer jeans trying to act ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ and a source of merriment for the rest of us watching them try to look nonchalant in their pressed denim.
I have never been one to partake in the Biz Cas Fri. I prefer my usual attire of shirt, skirt, wrap of some description and fucking kick arse heels. However this morning that was not to be. I have NO FREAKING IDEA where any of my normal work wear is. I dug into the recesses of my wardrobe, found a rather cute shirt that I forgot I had and replaced my skirt with jeans.
Jeans people. Fucking JEANS. I never wear jeans to work. I dressed it up some, but totally jeans to work.
Meh. Upper management do it.
You wouldn’t believe how many people commented on my jeans wearing arse today. And chicks pinching my jeans wearing arse… seriously. What is with that?
Five minutes after sitting my jeans wearing arse down and getting in to checking my emails, Coffee Bitch comes up to me and asks for a little ‘informal chat’
With him, the head of the whole Department and our lawyer. In the Departments heads office.
That was no ‘informal chat’ people. That was a fucking selection panel.
Informal chatting my jeans wearing arse. I was being interviewed with 30 seconds notice.
Fuck it.
*shakes fist at Murphy, the Universe and everything*
So I get in there, rock the shizz and wander out thinking the only thing that is gunna hold me back is those pesky kids. My spawn. Those blood sucking leeches that are keeping me from working 18 hour days with all their needs and shit. You know all that cooking and cleaning and cuddling and being there and love. Dammit.
Just before I left for the day I cornered the Coffee Bitch.
‘You know I have the next two weeks off right?’
‘WHAT!?’
‘So you need to let me know right now what is going on. Am I here on Monday or not? If I am I will re-negotiate my leave so I can finish this project. Otherwise, tell me who to dump it on’
He dragged me into an interview room.
I didn’t get the job.
*sob*
But.
BUT.
And it is a BIG BUT. Bigger than my jeans wearing butt.
They have created another new position. For me. In the 5 hours since my little ‘chat’. Yeah, baby. I am THAT fucking awesome.
With more autonomy. More responsibility. More moola spindoola.
But I have to work more hours. Which is gunna be, um, interesting.
I can do it. I am awesome. I can handle it all. I can do it all.
Can’t I?

Of course you can! You can do anything
WOO! Congrats
Of course it was your hawt arse in those jeans that sealed the deal.
I am sorry you didn’t get your original job, but kudos for being so amazingly awesome they created a whole new position for you. Must have been those ass kicking jeans.
Of course you can do it! Best arse in jeans always can do it!
Damn! I wear jeans *every* day, and that’s never happened to me.
Congratulations anyway babe. You are Awesome, in or out of jeans.
Grats. Ding. Woot.
Damn! Congrats hunny!! I don’t think anyone would create a new position for me… well, not a job position
You can do it!
I repeat this mantra to myself at the gym (which is actually an old SNL skit and makes me laugh and feel good).
“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!”
You can SO do this, Kel! There is no-one more capable of doing this than the most amazing woman there is…. YOU!
Don’t sweat it, just fine tune the details re kids and cuddles and shit and you’re sweet!
CONGRATULATIONS! *doing the happy dance*
You can do it, you’re superwoman! And I bet you looked HAWT in those jeans!
You fucking rock! Go get ‘em Kelley!
I gots faith in ya….
If you keep wearing your jeans, you’ll be CEO before long!
Congrats on your awesomeness.
You CAN do it, and you WILL.
And if you decide that you don’t want to, I have every confidence that you’ll eloquently tell them where they can shove things.
See, when you’ve got your jeans on like upper management – they love it!
I am sure it’s your awesomeness that got you the job though, really, they decide these things pretty much before you get to the interview – so your awesomeness proceeded you.
Congrats – and yes you will handle it and handle it well!!

I love that you included Homestar.
I wear jeans and a t-shirt every day to work. I expect the same from my employees too. Flip flops acceptable, shaving optional. If people are comfortable they will do a better job. I wish all employers could recognize that.
Yay for you
Of course you can do it!
Sucks you didn’t get the original position, but when one door shuts, a window always opens!!!
Good for you and thank GAWD those silly people finally realized what a gem they had on their hands! Did you rock the jeans with heels? A pic would be nice
Congrats on your fanfuckingtabulousness!
xoxo
Of course you can do it. You are a ledge!
Congratulations.
Never underestimate the power of a great pair of jeans!
Well, and your job skills and all that, too! If you want it, you can do it! Congratulations!
You can do anything you wanna, baby!
Gulp! Yo is clearly wa-a-a-a-y teh AWESOME!
Way to go Ninja one! Use your powers of Ninja to figure it all out. In the meantime – have great 2 weeks off!
Yes, yes you can.
And, your jeans-wearing ass must be impressive
Congrats! You can handle it. It must be the heels…
You are so hawt. You rock. I want to give you a hickey on the inside of your thigh. Either one. You pick.
Ahhhhhhhh, shhhhh.
I’m sure you look shit hot in jeans, twinnie.
Yes you can do it. Go for it!!
Best arse jeans are so formal. If I ever bother to go back into work I’m still gonna wear my shorts and sandals. I’d go in pajamas…but I don’t wear pajamas! ha ha ha
Good luck on all that work stuff. Sounds like a lot of work. If you were really awesome you would have gotten paid for doing nothing; not even showing up. That’s true awesomeness!
Another post in a blog far, far away yesterday reminded me of another secret.
I used to stick maxi pads on the inside elbows of my football tops to make it a goalkeeper’s jersey…
Oh hell yes you can woman!
That’s great news! I mean despite all the crazy stuff that happened, it’s always nice when you’re so spectacular they have to create a new position for you.
Congratulations.
If anyone can pull it off, you will, you hot jeans wearing mamma. You will find a way.
Well done!! You can pull it off, of course you can, especially in hot arse jeans
You can do it. You are awesome. Remember you rock!
Woo fricking hoo!! Congratulations.
It’s friday..I have jeans on..and the people around me have on cute little tanks and jackets and heels w/ their jeans..I have on a T shirt from vaca and rocketdog tennis shoes…I”M the one in middle management!!!
Of COURSE you can do it. And I have to confess, I would probably take a pinch at you if I had the opportunity.
You can TOTALLY do it! Congratulations!
Of course you can do it. And you will.. A bit of creative juggling and it will all fall into place.. xxx Kim
That is awesome news. Probably be a rough ride to start with but I reckon you can do it and once everything settles into a routine you will rock the job.
Congratulations.
Your house is going to look like mine though….
Get used to dust bunnies bigger than Boo!
Congrats on the new position! Just to be clear, are you saying it was your jeans that enticed them to create an entirely new position for you? Are you going to wear jeans to work EVERY DAY now? You know, I wore jeans today and nothing even half as spectacular as a new job opened up for me. But I did get to the donuts in the teachers lounge before they were all gone. So, maybe there’s something to this whole jeans thing after all.
hell yeah. you can do it. just throw some Corn puffs on the floor and turn on the hose outside; the kids will take care of themselves. :}
Oh…and since you made fun of how old I am and the era I grew up in…I should tell you I have a post on that very thing. It’s for a comedy contest…yeah…it’s damn funny and very self humiliating…just what you love to do on my blog too! Enjoy and don’t say I never gave you a laugh…
You can do it! Congrats on breaking new ground and wearing jeans to work! i hope the new job is fabulous…..
Well, duh. That ass is awesome-y and shite. Of course they created a position for you. They changed the name of the company, too, didn’t they.
Wow!
Chicks pinching your arse? Were the men drooling more than usual at the mere thought of girl-on-girl action??
Can you do it? Well, you might need to cut down on blogging and other fantabulousnesses – just don’t over-commit yourself, k? I’ve noticed a slight tendency in you to do exactly that…
You can totally do it. You’re hawt, biotch. Totally hawt in your jeans-wearing. HAWT!
Dude, Kelley. That rocks. More money for more fucking kick arse heels.
Congrats to you.
How will you do it? Just ask Lauren (The Hills). She would say, “Life’s tough. Wear a helmet.” And some rawkin’ jeans, babbah.
Congrats! You can absolutely do it. I believe this calls for some new shoes, yes?
I would hate to think it was all about your ass-ets when you were interviewed – very hot that they are giving you a custom made position!!
Heck, proven tactic for keeping teenagers out of mischief, making them in charge of dinner and laundry.
You must have been wearing your ass-kicking jeans! ;^) Congratulations on your new position!
See, this is probably even better than the position you wanted. And if not … you can quit and totally be a pron star!
They created a position just for you? You’re even more awesome than I thought. What exactly is it that you do?
(my jeans don’t fit so well. damn snacks…)
Wooohoo – so awesome they created a whole new position in order to retain your awesomeness!
(but absolutely shite the way they organised the interview).
…and hey – I’m jealous. I wear jeans to work all the time (shaddup – I work with hippy-greenies so I’m still the best dressed) and nobody’s ever pinched my butt at work…. but then again… considering the people I work with, that’s actually a good thing..
Of course you can. Because you are the best.
(I never wear anything but jeans. If I wore a skirt, someone would pinch my butt. Or notice anyway…)
Extremely EXCELLENT. You ARE going to get your two weeks off still…right?????
You so can do this….just remember to make time for YOU!
This is exactly why you should never take your kids anywhere or expose them to anything. It’s just gonna cost ya!
Congratulations! That is wonderful! You can totally do it.
