For some reason, I decided to wear a nice dress to work today. It's red with white polka-dots and I had a pair of cute little red shoes on to match. I knew I'd just have to change out of it when I got there, but I felt like being a girl, so I dressed up a little. Who would have guessed that today was the perfect day to dress up.

I got to work got changed into my suit, went upstairs and was asked by my manager whether I'd like to have dinner in the restaurant with a few other staff tonight (this isn't out of the ordinary, we're often invited to try new menus and wines, but not usually while on shift).

"Do you have something to wear?"

So I counted my float, handed over with my team and by the time I was on the desk it was time to go and get changed for dinner.

8 courses (each with a glass of wine especially chosen by the sommelier to match the food) which was 4 hours later, I changed back into my suit, cashed up my float changed back into my dress and went home. The funny thing was that they let me go home half an hour early because hadn't had a chance to take a break! This is a funny business.
