How suits make you a better person

Well this is my first entry in what could be the best blog ever written. Who knows. Funny, I just noticed the word blog isn't recognised as a proper word by the spell check software on this website.

Today was a good day. Like every day it was pretty tiring and challenging, seeing as I'm about 18% of the way through my work placement as a science teacher in a school that would probably be considered working class. But despite any of that, I rocked it! Go me! And god bless International Suit Up Day! I just want to say that right now. You see for the last few days I've been going into the school dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, and I was somewhat down. But today I couldn't go in without donning my best suit and shining my nicest shoes, and low was I lucky I did? Because little did I know, as I was tying my windsor knot, and buffing my shoes to a high sheen, a man named Douglas was filling his car with petrol, to drive the 100 miles to inspect my lesson.

This was pure luck, but on top of this I was good as well. I sorted out some students who'd been causing disruption and were preventing the rest of the class from getting on with their work and learning. Which I'm pretty happy about. Also I learnt that instead of not getting paid at all for the work experience I'll be getting paid to supervise study after school and to substitute for teachers who're out. Could be making 50 bob an hour! Happy days for a skint student. This all came together like a present from Zeus, god of thunder and I was beaming for the day. I made much better convo with the rest of the staff. I mean I could go on and on but it was just a really good day, and I put it down to suits. The suit gave me a sense of pride and confidence, I'm the kind of person who feels more comfortable the more well dressed I am so a sexy French Connection suit had me bolstered. It gave me the edge I needed to gain more authority over the kids. It put me on a level playing field with the inspector in terms of professionalism.

Don't underestimate the power of a nice, well fitted suit! And if you don't have a suit, get one...
