Who invented high heels?

On Eid day I was about to wear my good old casual flat-heeled shoes when my mother suggested that I could change my shoes, for a change. I agreed as in the heart of my hearts I am a ‘girly’ girl too and do like new shoes and clothes occasionally. ;) So I took my mother’s advice and wore the new shoes instead of my oldies.

The shoes looked really nice. They were black with delicate straps. On top of it they had high heels. They seemed perfect in every way. But then I put them on and my whole perspective changed.

As long as I was sitting, all was well. But when I would stand up, it would be tough standing straight. And if I had to walk, that was a complete disaster. If anyone saw me walking in my ‘heels’ they would have thought of me as a joker giving performance. Because I wouldn’t be walking, I would be stumbling tumbling across two points. It was a total torture for the poor feet and the poor ‘me’.

At those moments I was thinking, “Who invented high heels?”. My father thinks that it is the conspiracy of men against women. I have even started believing it.

But I guess the more important question is, “Why do girls (like me) get attracted to high heels?”. I couldn’t answer my own question. Can you? :)

Clippy

I am totally free right now. I have nothing to do. I still have four more hours to stay in this office. I am thinking of ways of what to do to literally kill time, but my mind has lost its creative touch. Instead it keeps ordering my body to yawn.

One of my past times is to amuse myself from ‘Clippy’, the paper clip office assistant that is sitting on my desktop. I make it do all sorts of things (basically everything it can do). Some of its animations are really cute. But I guess by the time I finish animating it a million times it feels a bit tired too.

It is still looking at me with its curious bulging eyes inviting me to explore any new tricks that I might have missed. I guess it has become my pet and wants a pat as well. The innocent eyes keep shouting that I am here at your service; I am your humble servant. Oh and look! just when I scratched my head it did too. I think we are getting closer by the minute. Oh Clippy! What would I do without you!

But the irony is that I do not use Clippy for the purpose it was created, i.e. to provide MS Word help. I hate asking it for help. Instead I have turned it into a performer who can cheer me up whenever I am down or feeling bored in front of the computer (for instance like right now). ;-)

Now I have to work a bit so better turn off Clippy for a while, otherwise it will keep bugging me. Meanwhile why don’t you all go and make friends with your own clippies. ;-) Happy Clippying!
