puddle jumper
True story: as I was rushing to a client meeting in NYC, I lept over a puddle of melting snow, breaking a stiletto heel and–wait for it–ripping my favorite pencil skirt beyond my nether regions. I ducked into an office building and begged safety pins off a sympathetic secretary, but had to keep my coat on all through lunch, then wobble–up, down, up, down–home. Bereft and mortified, I decided this was the last straw in a job that I never really liked; the next day, I gave two weeks notice, never to work in corporate America again. (This all really happened, cross my heart, almost 5 years ago today.)
And to think: if I had been wearing a pair of these rain boots, I could have stepped in that puddle; my skirt would not have torn, my heel would never have flopped. I might have stayed in that job, and I might have been promoted from underling to super-vice-lackey. So by my calculus, Plueys can change your life.
