looks really silly

one of my pet peeves is being driven about by this man at work. he is a slightly new employee who works in my subsection. he seems nice enough. if he has gotten here, he has to be smart. but how smart is he? there are different types of smart, like there are different types of snow. and relationships. not that the British Dating System recognises the latter. but, another day.

So mr. smart maybe law smart. and we can probably even drill down and say he is tax and accounting smart and corporate britain smart in the sense he has moved up in the...
[wow weird he just called me for a question...my life is weird like that...again, another blog time]
There is also sartorial smart, wine smart, physically smart, and Smart. And that is just the 'smarts' for the male race, there are many more for females.
But what this man is NOT, is sartorial smart. It is truly grating to the eyes that he wears his security id clipped to his belt. The end. That is it. But in annoys me so much that i can whip myself into a bad mood by the merest vision. Why? 'Why' i want yell at him. You rarely need it... It doesn't need to be seen on your person. ..And it fits in your pocket easily too. ..Yet the display of red and grey with pictorial proof on your waist...well, i don't know but it gets on my nerves. Look, we are not an engineering firm, or a government building. Please, put the badge away sir. Nothing. To. See. Here.
