A note on being a tight packer

Note to self:

Before you pat yourself on the pack in a wildly congratulatory fashion for having done such a magnificent job of packing (my bag was strangely light for this MSDN trip), make sure to check the following before you hand yourself the "World's Tightest Packer" award:

- That you've packed all your toiletries

- That you've packed a shirt besides the one you're already wearing

- That you've packed a change of underwear

Yes.

It's true.

People of Oakland: When I presented before you today, I was wearing yesterday's skivvies.

I feel so dirty.

I am so dirty.

Second note to self:

When you're ironing your presentation pants, grab the iron by the handle and not by the hot metaly part.

It's hard to get the wrinkles out by pressing the handle into your trousers.

Oh, and the hot metaly thing is hot, so that's the other reason not to do it.

It hurts, I mean.

That's why.

I was working as an English Assistant in France [murmur murmur] years ago and living in cramped accommodation without much money...I had an iron but no ironing board, so I used to iron on any vaguely flat surface.
On one occasion this somehow resulted in me managing to iron my shoulder.
But then my coordination was never all that great.
