That new car smell

May 13, 2008

Today is the first day, since I started in a new job at the beginning of January, that I’ve forgotten to shave before going to work in the morning. I remembered as I was walking to the bus, but didn’t have time to go back and do it. When I got in there was no fanfare. Nor any telling off. (Nobody even seemed to notice. Not that I’m bitter or anything. Oh no.) Nevertheless it somehow seems important. As if the honeymoon is over. The new car smell is gone.
