Squeak

I have walked on many a tile floor in my days. Linoleum tiles, ceramic tiles, clay tiles, stone, etc… I have walked on them bunches. I have walked on these different tiled floor surfaces in many a different shoe and occasionally, when my shoes are wet, my walking will cause a squeak.

That is occasionally if the floor is anyway other than in my office. If I so much as look at any of the hard surface flooring within my office my shoes will squeak. Heck, even on some of the carpet, you can hear my shoes. It is quite frustrating and annoying. I like to consider myself a quiet walker. I like to consider myself rather un-obtrusive whence I am going to and fro, but in my office, no matter what shoe I choose to wear, I am a squeaky walking annoyance to everyone. In the halls, on the stairs, in the break room (sans toaster oven), in the bathrooms, etc…


Here comes SRH:

squeak, squeak, squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak

There goes SRH

Heck, there are some hallways in this office, where if I am merely wearing any of three particular pairs of shoes, I will squeak like I am a basketball time down by 4 with 2 minutes to go. I just don’t understand why I squeak here in the office. I am sure that it isn’t because of the wax they use to polish the floors. I am not sure that these floors have been polished within my 7 years at this company. Sure they might have been mopped twice, but never polished.

Makes me think about just getting some soft soled slippers for the workplace, but if I did that I might as well get a light blue cardigan sweater and go all Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood on my company. I don’t think the company would mind until I started doing all the voices for the Land of Make Believe. Well, that and hallucinating Trolley to get out of meetings.

To Recap:
It is a bit rainy today
Here comes SRH:
squeak, squeak, squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak
There goes SRH
If you can’t tell, it is kind of rainy this evening
Not much planned for the weekend
We have another open house on Sunday
I so want this house stuff to be finished: sale or no sale, it really doesn’t matter to me
I just want it done
I swear to GOD, I sound like a dog’s chew toy in the stair wells
Funny thing about writing "squeak" so much, the first time you spell it, you know that it is spelled correctly, but after 50 times, you question how it looks...
