Sock Girl

Yes she was an urban legend.  No one believed she existed. Only I saw her, on rare occasions, at the watering hole.....no one believed......until...

Whilst walking down the aisleway at work I screamed "Thar she be"  Oh wait, that's Moby Dick..."that's her! That's Sock Girl!!!!"

She did not fail to dazzle. 

She is a cute girl, maybe 22 or 23, blond wavy hair and always and I mean ALWAYS wears a black skirt (and trust me it's been a cold spell here - brave soul still wearing a skirt), a fairly neutral top and the weirdest dang sock/shoe combos I have ever seen.  The day I spotted her in rainbow colored socks, up over her knees with matching silver lame, high heel sandals was the best.  But my co-workers didn't believe me. They didn't see her, she must not exist.  Apparently I had had the type of stroke that makes you see odd knee socks! 

I felt much like a Bigfoot hunter.  People rolled their eyes as I  ran hysterically from the room frantially whispered "she's wearing glo in the dark green socks with bugs on them!" (I promise I was very discrete as to not spook Sock Girl).  For the love of God people I swear she was just there.   More head shaking and something about "bless her heart"  I began to wonder if at some point in my life I had experienced an anal probe......

But one day, something drew Sock Girl from her cube at the same time as Ms Thang (my cube mate) and I were walking back from the employee death cafe....there she was, in all her over-the-knee sock glory! I was vindicated!  She was real!  I was not crazy, but then I was quickly reminded that I was probably still crazy, just not about this......

I'm thinking of starting a reality show now.  Kind of a "Swamp Boys" meets "Pit Boss" meets "Hillbilly Handfishin'" meets "Cyndi Lauper"  Now for a name.........
