Working at the Fallsview Casino, I find that I must dress up for work. This means heels. Now, I do not have an aversion to heels, I love the new shoes I have purchased since starting this job.
The problem is that the floor at the Casino does not play nicely with heels. As my friend Annie put it, 'how goes the war with the floor'. Well, I was doing okay lately. About a month or so ago, things were not going well. I had one day where I slid and fell twice (in the same pair of heels). It was quite embarrassing as my purse (and contents) went flying all over the hallway (and yes there were people passing by at the time). Luckily, this is all happening in the basement and no where near the casino floor. Since that day I have been pretty careful about how I walk on certain parts of the floor.
Today, though, the floor appears to have launched a new attack and I believe I may lose. I have a new pair of heels on today. They just have a kitten heel, very tiny, but they seem to be causing me way more problems than more 1 1/2 inch heels. I have slid at least 5 times already this morning. At one point I was carrying a glass of cranberry juice (Tim, it reminded me of that time at the bar when my heels went out from under me and I didn't spill a drop of the beer and the bouncer was super impressed), but I managed to stay upright.
I don't know who will be the overall victor in this war, but it is not looking good for me.
